Stem Supplies - Blanks in Vulcanite or Acrylic

Post by stemandbriar »

Anyone have a lead on precast Vulcanite Stems, or Acrylic Stems?
I was used to ordering by shape and color number from The Pipe Makers Emporium, but I see they are closing / closed their doors.

Curious what's out there. I generally buy in bulk.
Thanks!

Contact Steve Norse (Vermont Freehand). He purchased PE and just got a bunch of their stock in this week. He has offered his own versions in the past and I'm sure he could help you out; he's a great guy to deal with.

JH Lowe (Tim West) also has a large selection of premold stems, mostly ebonite, but there are some acrylics.
