A Monjure International trunk show was one of the first times I saw so many amazing high grade pipes in one place. It's always a treat to see what Steve Monjure has to offer either at a  trunk show or at a pipe show. You can even order from him through his website. The customer service you will receive is of the highest caliber. Steve is a great guy with a great product. Take a listen to this podcast to hear all about how Steve got started, insight into the industry, some funny stories, and a lot more. I hope you enjoy!

Jody has influenced many great carvers over the years. I hope you enjoy!
