My Second Ruthenberg

Missed this post. Harris, you have excellent taste my friend. That is an incredible looking pipe.
Love the three S's stain, sandblast and stem . I have yet to acquire a cumberland stem, but that is on my next to get list - congrats!

Thanks Six and Gary for the nice comments. The pipe just came in and I immediately loaded it up with Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired. The pipe is performing brilliantly as I expected. It is smoking cool and dry and the tobacco tastes great. Brian is a great carver and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an artisan pipe. It is interesting, if I close my eyes I could not tell the difference between my Rad Davis stems and Brian's, both are super comfortable and the button design seems identical.
