Picked up my first Charatan today and as far as I can tell it is a mid-70's Lane era unsmoked Billiard. It is very light weight with a really nice tan rusticated finish, it also came with original box and pipe sock. I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable them me will correct me if I'm off. I'm looking forward to breaking this in with some 5100 Red Cake I got yesterday from Rich.
