I've decided... the best dang VaPer on the planet... HU Director's Cut... smooth, sweet, full-flavored, complex, best burning, yada yada yada... pay the overseas freight and wire transfer fees - it's well worth it! :-) When you get to "durn" instead of "dang", they'll be fightin' woids!!!!   Half way through this bowl of Peter Heinrichs Curly Block in a straight black sandblasted 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite stem. Ice water properly chilled along with floaty li'l icebergs is my drink for the rest of the evening. The brawl is ON! Director's Cut is the best "durn" VaPer in this solar system! Bring it on!!! |

Puffing on my rolled University Flake in my Emerald Christmas Peterson. Been busy, need a cut and two drill holes in my first pine wood bowl for my first prototype yellow daffodil pipe, using a Mr Brog halfling mouthpiece.Phew!
To finish the bowl some sanding , poker work, staining , varnish & done. Not for the purists, but to the pure all things are pure.
