***REVIEW*** I wanted to wait to give you a review of the pipe. I needed to smoke it how I wanted to smoke it. Every day. First off, the pipe is light years ahead of the photos, when you hold it in your hand. The blast is immaculate, the stem work is flawless, and the bowl sound. I managed to get this pipe to work well with all my daily blends. Mainly Va and VaPer. I remember I said I would break this in with some old Bengal Slices, and that didn't happen. It screamed Virginias to me, and it wasn't wrong. I have not had one gurgle, one off taste, or one anything less than a phenomenal smoke. I smoked it for 12 hours straight, traveling the California coast for work, threw it in my shirt pocket, and smoked it some more. I have probably put no less than 100 bowls through it since getting it. I can honestly say that I will be getting another one soon. And I may not ever need another pipe after that. Phenomenal work. I am more than pleased with my purchase, and your craft. Thanks again for everything and making sure that I got what I wanted. I appreciate it.D.P. Here is a very comfortable freehand Dublin. Fits great in the hand and the mouthpiece melts in your mouth. The proportions seem just right to me and the blast came out awesome. I have been working on a new technique that highlights the high spots and I am quite pleased with the results of this new experiment. As you can see the high spots are lighter and highly polished. Beautiful color combination and nice thick walls. Hand cut Ebonite mouthpiece with Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver fitment. Thank you very much for looking.
