    Coffee Flavored Aromatics - Cornell & Diehl Espresso

    I picked up this radice from SP with some Christmas money. This is one HUGE pipe! This is one of the more pronounced ring grains I've seen on a silk cut, and there sure is a lot of it on this pipe. This is also the first pipe I've purchased with plateau on it and I really like it. The...
