trailboss or anyone else in AZ: Does anyone know the status of pipemaker Victor Rimkus from Albuqueruque? The last few times that I checked his website (rimkuspipes.com) it was looking stale and abandoned. Today while smoking a Billiard that I have from him, I happened to think of checking. Now his website shows me just a blank white screen. While doing some Googling, I noticed that his son Nathan who also makes pipes (NWR Pipes) seems to no longer have a web site. So, it’s appearing to me that neither one is making pipes anymore. However, I haven’t been able to find out what has happened. So, does anyone know if Victor is doing ok but just not making pipes anymore?

I sent him an email. We'll see if I get a response. I think he's in his late 80s.

I know the name, do not know him, even though he probably has been at past West Coast Pipe shows.
Don Warren might be a good guy to check in with since he is in ABQ, just a guess that they would know each other.
