Re: Stoneware Pipes!? ...anyone?

nice site pereu i even managed to understand some of it! clay pipes historically in the uk, atleast, were cheap and disposable and responsible for the popularity of tobacco smoking - made by craftsmen rather than artisans. the grand tour of europe by the english upper classes and aristocracy would h...

Re: Which Nova?

the supernova 2 is single handed in operation
