The only thing I grind is black pepper.
Foggymountain, submarines are also called grinders here in Connecticut. Do they still call milk shakes "cabinets" in Mass.?
That was a nice score on the pipes. Have you dated the Dunhills?
Also, nice job on the pipe you made. I like the rusticattion and although I usually don't care for them, I think the white stem offsets the banding on your pipe nicely.
