Red, I just looked at Frenchy's site and I see what you mean. I've only done a couple deals with the Frenchman over the years but they've always left a sweet taste in my mouth.
Wow, Mike at Briar Blues a few months ago and now Frenchy. As Frenchy would say, "A bowl to all of ya, ya sumbitches."

Quite a shame. I haven't bought anything from him in a long time, but I was never disappointed.
Enjoy your retirement, Frenchy. I'll miss yer e-shop, but at least you'll still be around here for the blabbin'! ;-)

Well Red, I must say that is very much ON topic for this forum. Every time I find someone who wants to start smoking a pipe, I give them Frenchy's page first. This is sad for the online pipe community. I almost bought a Danbark from him but someone beat me to it. He was very nice to deal with though. Mr. Tinsky made me a wonderful Pickaxe to copy the one I loved on Frenchy's page. I wish I had the dough to start my own online pipe business. I would use Frenchy's as a great template to start from. This sucks. Mitchell

*********************** Just joining others in wishing Frenchy a happpy retirement. Yes, a great guy to deal with.
I am going to miss Frenchy's shop. I have been buying pipes from him since the days he was selling only on eBay. He was one of the very best pipe sellers and I am proud to call Frenchy a friend.

I will miss his website! All I get is a blank page. Frenchy, are you listening or reading this? All the best to you!

I leave the group for a year or so and Frenchy shuts down? Maybe he will have more time to critique my songs now. Most of my pipes came from Mr. French.

Hi Bill, Here's what he had posted to his site a few days ago:
I know I've been plannin' to welcome new partners on board Frenchy's Pipes but it's not gonna happen after all. Actually they were just takin' over because I'd said I was gonna retire so they figured I could take it easy and they'd take over all the work. Well since the partnership fell through I'm gonna go ahead and retire and do nothin' but puff. I just didn't wanna disappear without sayin' what a great ride it's been. I didn't make a whole lotta dough but I damn sure made a whole lotta friends. So happy puffin' and I'll see yiz around gang.
So Frenchy's Pipes is no more. Thanks to everyone on this terrific forum for help makin' it a wonderful trip! __________________ Frenchy

The official word was on the front page of his site on Tuesday night. He is officially retired. He was trying to bring in partners to eventually take over the site, but it fell through, and he decided it was time to retire.

Thank you Frenchy for the excellent pouch you sold me a couple of years ago. I have used it every day since, and it is my favorite. It was a pleasure doing business with you. I wish you a wonderful (well deserved) retirement. I hope you post here now and then, and maybe I can thank you in person at a pipe show sometime in the future. Best wishes!! Preston

I talked to Frenchy this week about the blends including the No-Holds- Barred), and he agreed to let us sell them on our site (www.pipesandcigars.com). They should be on the site and available for sale this coming week.
Well, ... I am sad to read of this news. I just tried to get to his site and it is just a blank screen. So, I was going to post here asking what's up with Frenchy's site? and decided to search for any info and lo and behold, he retires.
Wow. a sad day for me. But I'm happy for Frenchy. If you are reading this Frenchy, I hope you start posting on ASP again. wishing you all the best and I hope and pray you are well and happy.

DAMN! That blows! I must have got one of the last pipes from him! I got an order on the 25th or so of Oct 2009 and it included a freebie corn cob (very nice design actually!!) plus a big ben viking (with bone stem) ...liked it so much I wanted to order another today and....well i guess I and you can't either!!
Hope to see a small store again from Frenchy and even some great free cleaners ;-)
