A quarter of the way through this newly opened pouch of year 2011 Villiger Maryland No. 333 in a smooth straight pre-transition Barling 313 T.V.F. EXEXEL pot with a black ebonite saddle stem. The tobacco is rather dry, but the last time I hydrated it with distilled water, it molded, so I'm not making that mistake this time. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.
