Vic Firth Mario Peppermill

I have several Vic Firth and a few other brands of salt and pepper mills. I grew up on them so, they are a necessity it seems.

I've had a lot of different cheap peppermills in the past. So I decided to spend the money on a good peppermill for once and for all, and I can easily say this will be the last peppermill I will ever buy. It has a lifetime gaurantee, it's MADE IN THE USA. I've recommended it to everyone I know who enjoys fresh ground pepper, and even to a few people who have not yet experienced the difference in flavor fresh ground pepper has.
