Lane’s HGL in a Vermont American Billiard, which despite its classic shape, is a true freehand, carved by pipe maker, Steve Norse, It is a black sandblast with a silver band and a white acrylic stem. At the bottom of the shank, toward the band is stamped: BRIARWORKS, and below that USA, then below that VERMONT, and below that, the logo VF, with the right arm of the V forming the stem of the F. Below that is stamped FREEHAND, below that PSF POY and below that 2016. The PSF stands for Pipe Smokers Forum, which sponsored the carving.
