Seven years later its come together but still not great.
The 1/2 pound I have will last my lifetime.....or until I get involved in a box pass. :)
Im smoking it in this Poker?/Hungarian? shaped pipe #1005 made by Verdome. I believe its Verdome....I cannot see the 3rd letter :)

Habana Daydream is one of my recently discovered favorite blends. Before I got sick last week, I pretty much smoked only that for weeks. Perfect amount of everything for me. Sorry it doesnt knock your socks off!
Dang, I wish I would have known you liked it a couple weeks ago. :)
Oh well, you never know, sometimes things just show up in the mail.....I hear the Phantom is always around. :)

That is such a beautiful pipe !!! Savinelli used to make a brand called Bent Bobs , for the states market . They were smaller but that shape is very similar to their poker shape they made and it was a pipe I really loved back in the 80's

Sanded and polished the stem.
