France Today it’s difficult to say whether carvers from the French GBD factory were impressed by a design and image of the legendary supersonic liner, or aircraft designers were inspired by a stylish design and excellent qualities of GBD Concorde pipes.

No, let’s add an additional camera into the chamber! No, let’s drill an additional channel in the stem, so we could clean…
