Rim combo price increase

Unfortunately Titanium is the latest victim of the global trade wars.  2/3rds of the world's Titanium stock is produced in China and they're adding export controls greatly reducing the availability of it in the US to small shops like ours.  We're working on it, but the facts are; it's taking longer to get and it's more expensive when we can.

The (small) bit of good news is that rims were already labor intensive, so our material costs aren't a complete disaster.  But the fact is; we can't offer $60 rims as combos anymore…

On March 1st we’ll be reducing the discount for rim cup combos from $25 to $15 (raising the price of a complete mouthpiece to $180).

We have the Model One ready to step in at a lower price of entry (they're a world-class mouthpiece at $130) and we're looking into what we can do to hedge against further raises.
