Edward's pipes were originally produced in St. Claude France when Francais actually was a
world-class pipe maker with longstanding business & political connections to Colonial Algeria
that allowed them to obtain the finest briar.
愛德華的管道最初是在聖克勞德法國生產的,當時法國人實際上是一個世界級的管道製造商,
與阿爾及利亞殖民地長期以來的商業和政治聯繫,使他們能夠獲得最好的巴里。

During the tumultuous 1960's, Edward's created a business model to offer the finest briar
available in both Classic and Freehand shapes - all at a fair price.
在1960年代動蕩的時期,愛德華創造了一個商業模式,以經典和手寫形狀提供最好的briar,
所有這些都以合理的價格。
They bought the company & equipment and cornered the market on the finest,
choice Algerian Briar just before the supply vanished in political turmoil of
Algeria's independence.
在阿爾及利亞獨立的政治動蕩之前,供應消失,阿爾及利亞的Briar在阿爾及利亞的Briar
購買了這家公司和設備,並在市場上佔有一席之地。
Edward's packed up both machinery and briar-treasure to America,
safely caching the essentials to create a new pipe-making dynasty.
愛德華把美國的機器和寶石都包裝起來,安全地緩存了創造新的管道王朝的必要條件。
This was a coup, for the 70's and 80's were grim years for pipe smokers as
quality briar all but disappeared.
這是一場政變,七十年代和八十年代,管道吸煙者的年齡嚴峻,質量不俗,但消失了。
Edward's Design Philosophy is hard to pin down, think of their style as the
"American Charatan" with unique & clever twists all their own.
愛德華的設計哲學很難確定,將自己的風格看作是“獨一無二”的“美國魅力”。
Today, they fashion pipes in several locations across the USA.
今天,他們在美國的幾個地方製造管道。
All of Edward's pipes are Algerian Briar - a fact very few pipe companies can claim,
and all are oil-cured utilizing natural finishes - no strange concoctions are used to
interfere in your tastebud's dance with the briar.
愛德華所有的管道都是阿爾及利亞的Briar,事實上很少有管道公司可以聲稱,
所有這些都是使用天然的表面處理油 - 沒有什麼奇怪的混合物可以用來干擾你的味蕾與舞蹈的舞蹈。
Algerian, Calabrian, Sardinian, Corsican - take your pick,
but Algerian Briar is generally considered the finest smoking briar ever used.
阿爾及利亞,卡拉布里亞爾,撒丁島,科西嘉人 - 請選擇,
但阿爾及利亞的Briar通常被認為是最好的吸煙者。
When combined with oil-curing, Algerian takes on a magical quality that even Alfred
Dunhill recognized as far back as 1918 as the choice for both his Bruyere and Shell.
阿爾及利亞與石油治理相結合,具有神奇的品質,即使阿爾弗雷德·鄧希爾(Alfred Dunhill)
也承認自己早在1918年就被認為是布魯埃爾(Shell)和殼牌(Shell)的選擇。
