Welcome Larry, I used to buy pipe blanks from Davis and Sons Tobacco in Wilmington. My # for them doesn't work anymore but you can probably find them on the Internet.
The link you posted is from 2019, OBTW. Not sure, but this Saturday appears to be May 23. Is there really a meeting?
Well. I'm bummed. And as Bob Dole would say, "I'm a doofus." I looked at the right date in the wrong place. "UGGGHHH." - the sound of me falling on my sword. Please forgive. Post deleted.
