I was spoiled for many years. I used to manage the Badass Coffee co. of salt lake city. We specialized in kona coffee. Nothing like a cup of kona with a dash of cream and some dunhill 965.

he is doing spoken word next month in salt lake.

I have a deep love for the way many high end Italian pipe makers execute the form of there pieces.

I have a chance to pick one up for about 200 with some tools. Is this worth my time and money for turning small/medium pipes. Or should i save my cash up for something else?
