My first order with Frenchy's!

[a.paul]

My first order he sent me...I think the name of it was "Vanilla Ice", which I actually liked better than Sunza.

Oddly enough, my Frenchy bonanza showed up today too. I'm waiting for my stuff from smokingpipes.com to show up, I'll have to lay out a picture of my Thursday night craziness...sigh...it's not a slope, it's a sheer cliff. Just call me Mr. Lemming.

Savinelli is a great pipe. I don't use the balsa in mine for the same reason that Frenchy mentioned. I got tired of hearing the gurgle and having to let the pipe cool off. Nice buy

This thread kind of got me thinkin', not always a good thing, but we don't have to go there.

I have not placed a single order with Frenchy, but am almost certain to do so at some point in the future, and I can do it with confidence based upon this and many other threads, all with positive comments about their experience with Frenchy. And I'm not speaking specifically about Frenchy.

Almost always, before I place an order with a vendor I have not done business with in the past is run a search in this forum or the usenet and can almost always find threads and posts with positive and rarely negative comments regarding that particular business.

I probably post as much as anyone else and enjoy just exchanging views and stories with other pipe or cigar smokers, but when I have a particularly good or bad experience with a vendor, I will almost always try to post the details and thank the others in this group who do the same. There's no better way to garner information about a business than to hear from others who had experience with them in the past. I hope we all keep it up.

Just made my SECOND ORDER with Frenchy for a nice rusticated Danbark at a great price and I'm already planning a third!

Just got done smoking some Davidoff Scottish in my new Danbark. Very nice smoke, no technical problems. Bowl stayed pretty cool and it is just a piece of art to look at. Smoking some of my made to order english/amaretto mixture in my estate WO Larsen I ordered with the Dan. Great little pipe, perfect clencher! Frenchy is awesome.

I'm not a big aromaic smoker, the I kinda liked the vanilla ice. He sent me a sample with my last order, actually blew through it pretty quick. Smoked nicely in that free cob!

[SUOrangeGuy]

I have a few aromatic samples from the PIF and that cob is the most likely candidate for trying them out.

Typically, a retailer is nothing more than that, a person or company that sells stuff. However, Frenchy is an exception, it like meeting somebody new online, who likes what you like and happens to sell also. I think the big difference is the way the site is designed. It is very personal, I have heard a few interviews with Frenchy, and he sounds like a great person. I have purchased several pipes from him including some beautiful Danbarks, great pipes, great site, and great guy.

That is correct

Monsieur Frenchy might just have a Doctor in the family because of me ......


..... not that I'm complaining, he is a hell of businessman, and at the tops in customer service. When he gets his Stokkebye tobacco sales going, I might be able to finance his villa on the Riviera!!

[SmokinJohnny]

I like Frenchy's site because he focuses on the mid range variety of pipes of good quality. His writing style is a friggen comedy act. As down to earth as they get.

I've dealt with Frenchy for years. I've bought many pipes from him and have sold several through his web site. You won't find a better retailer online.

His website seems to be on the fritz. I couldn't get it to load last night, or this morning.

Just tried, no problem, good old Frenchy's main page ...
