I am very pleased with this Dublin and it was a thrill to blast. This pipe is in my dark brown highlighted stain and I believe it works very well with the Carmel Ebonite. The top is slightly rounded and it is a pleasure to hold. I just received some new solid colored Ebonite, I think it is awesome material! . The material is of the same very high quality material I have been using but in a solid color. It is in my highlighted brown stain with Carmel Ebonite. I discovered a superior technique than I have been recently doing for thinning my mouthpieces and I am very happy with the thinness and comfort. I will continue to do this to my mouthpieces. Hand cut Carmel Ebonite mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon. Hand made Sterling silver fitment.
