Baki's Lattice Barrel
What can I say...? I have such poor discipline in these matters. When I saw it, it was a done deal. http://pipesmagazine.com/members/fred/album/picture/1278 -
Center burn
Some will say that it's due to: the way the Pipe is packed, the moisture level and cut of the tobacco, the size and shape of the chamber, the initial lighting of the bowl, the cadence of the smoking, the tamping habits of the smoker, etc. It's not a big issue to me. It's little effort to...- fred

Andreas Bauer Estate Meerschaum
