My name is Mary Ann Keller and I own and operate AMERICAN
SMOKING PIPE REPAIR, CO., located in the Pocono Mts. I was born and raised
in a small coal mining town of Shamokin, Pa. Yes I'm a coal miners daughter.
And my Great great grandmother smoked a pipe. I heard stories of how all her
aprons had burn holes in the pockets, because when the minister came to call
she would hide her pipe in her apron pocket!
Just like my great great grandmother I enjoy a good pipe! I prefer
a1/4 bent and I love Lanes 1Q. Also, Aspen is very good, and I purchased that
at John B. Hayes Tobacconist.
My love of pipes became a reality when I started to work at AMERICAN SMOKING PIPE CO. I worked with Mark Tinsky finishing his new pipes.
In the early 90's I was in a serious auto accident and was off my feet
for about 1 1/2 years. Part of my recovery was therapy to help bring my
short term memory back. At this time the repair business was born. Since I had
trouble remembering the numbers and measurements we color coded everything
I needed to use for the pipe repairs. It may sound very strange but it
worked!!
I now service 50 Tobacco stores across the USA and many international
customers.
American Smoking Pipe Repair Co. is a separate company from American
Smoking Pipe Co. |
