Strawberry smokes sweet at the first ten bowls after smokes exactly like briar.
On my island there are thousands of that erica plants and they grow to the same places with briar that's why they are so similar I believe.
Personally I like the sweet wood aroma a lot

Re: Some pipes I made
I've never seen olive wood stained before. Or rusticated, for that matter. If you're looking for the next step, the buttons on especially the first pipe could be a lot more comfortable. You've got a bulging bite zone. If you flatten out the bite zone with a smaller radius near the sides, you'll hav...

Also is very important the way you drill because is very easy to brake if you go wrong . With respect and the knowl...
