Hearth & Home Pipes?

Not Savinelli with their description:

@K Williams do they look at all like any of your Tinskys? I don't think they look clean enough to come out of his camp, though...

Could they be coming out of Briar Works Intl? According to P&C, the H&H pipes are made in the US. Briar Works advertises on their site that they offer custom manufacturing services saying, "No order is too big or too small."

The origin factory for nearly all private label lines is a closely guarded secret. Folks like Savinelli and Peterson don't want consumers to find out they're making pretty good pipes for less than their standard lines.

Same thing with the "Great Value" branded stuff at Wal-Mart and all in house brands. The bags of generic shredded cheddar cheese are probably also made in the same factory that makes Kraft shredded cheddar cheese.

If it isn't, the formula /recipe is usually the same. Wal Mart is the world's largest retailer. They have ways of making people hand over secrets. When the RIAA and record labels refused to let them sell CDs for $10 they threatened to replace the music section with appliances. They just kept sending Sharpie checks for the old wholesale price when they raised the price. Eventually Sharpie agreed to an exclusive price for Wal Mart.

The list of stories I've heard from people that truly know is long and crazy.
