Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Verge Engine Overdrive in a 2018 smooth straight flame grain Basil Meadows Merchant Service "Bing" replica with an aluminum band and black ebonite stem. This will get me to dinner time.

Smokers Haven Our Best Blend in a Savinelli Silver 606 EX. This huge pipe can take a lot of tobacco- Since I generally cannot smoke for more than an hour, I smoke this less often, and when I do, I fill it up to two thirds.
