Dear Ms. Lepeltier, I have just received my recent order for two more of your wonderful pipes and wanted to tell you I simply cannot say enough good things about you and Lepeltier Corp. It is my opinion that any pipe smoker who has never smoked a Lepeltier pipe is missing out on the entire pastime of pipe smoking. Tobacco never tastes so pure, so good, as when enjoyed in one of your delightful clays. Lepeltier has always been one of the most friendly, accommodating, professional, and honest companies with which I've had the pleasure to do business. I have recommended Lepeltier pipes to all of my pipe smoking friends — I haven't yet lost a friend!

I have briars, ceramic, meerschaums, cherry woods, and a true Calabash gourd pipe and I smoke them all alternating between them. But my favorites are my LePeltier pipes. True tobacco taste and cool excellent smoking. When they get to where they are not tasting "just right" I clean them with a little soap and warm water, rinse them really good, and I have a "new" pipe! Thank you very much Rosalie for carrying on a "GOOD" clay pipe tradition.

The two pipes I had recently ordered from you are the finest I have ever smoked, and now dominate my pipe rack, and all of my smoking time.

Just got my pipe today, am smoking it now. What a difference from my briar! Tobacco tastes clean, didn't realize how briar influences taste! Sutliff, Molto Dolce Thank you! Am getting another one!

I wash your pipes clean after every smoke, using distilled water and a Q-tip. Obviously this can't be done even with a meerschaum. I like the fact that they can be handled while in use, another advantage over the meerschaum. The air chamber provides cooling properties, and the mouth-burning acids, the afore-mentioned noxious condensate, is virtually eliminated. A true tobacco taste, unaffected by resins or sap or whatever influences the taste in a briar pipe. I really do get more pleasure out of my Lepeltier pipes than any others.

Had I known about your pipes, I would have never bought another brand, because the Lepeltier smokes cooler and produces a delightful tobacco taste.

In 55 years of pipe smoking (from corncobs to meerschaums) I finally discovered the true taste of cool tobacco flavor.

The pipe arrived yesterday and I am very pleased and also a little astonished at the workmanship and quality. I am a novice smoker (your pipe was my first), but I do know quality when I see it. You will be the first on my mind for all of my future pipe smoking needs. You are a cut above the rest.

After buying 3 months ago a clay pipe from you and smoking it, the tobacco tasted much crisper and was more tasty than ever before — what a difference. I also can smoke a variety of tobacco in the same pipe with no lingering after taste, plus clean up is a breeze. I now own 2 of your clay pipes and will only smoke them period. The workmanship is outstanding and I will be here to support your business!

I have had my Lepeltier Classic for roughly six months now. It has greatly exceeded my expectations. It smokes cool, requires nearly no maintenance, and allows the flavors of the tobacco to blossom in the bowl with every smoke.

You guys have hit it out of the park. HANDS DOWN the best pipe I've smoked and owned. The Burley is now my daily driver. For everything from Bright Virginias to Lakelands to Aromatics. I love this pipe. You can keep using it, no need to bench and it's so easy to clean. It's a clencher AND a sitter. This is the best pipe in my rotation. Better than my Dunhill, better than my graphite Rattrays. I LOVE this pipe.
