If I didn't take this one I would suspect it was going to the show. I waited for over a week and nobody popped on this shape. I had two good smokes with my two princes the other day. They served their purpose. The length of this prince will serve as a long cool smoke for sure. My long awaited pipe cabinet is near complete and I will post pics when I can.

That is beautiful pipe. I really like the stem and the contrast it gives the worked briar.

Count me in too. I'm also in the Rad Davis and asshole Harris club :mrgreen:. I have one with another to be made after the pipe show. Who knows after that.

Chris, awesome looking Rad, great blast and I love the natural and cumberland stem combo. It is a good thing to have a Rad addiction, no need to thank me guys. lol

Thanks for the great comments guys. One of my favorite piper quotes is, and I am paraphrasing 'That asshole (Rad Davis) ruined me for all other pipes forever'
:puffy:

Congrats - that is a beauty! Very jealous of all you Rad owners. May have to start playing the lottery!

Allan, lol. What I have found interesting is that once I smoked my first Rad, it made me much more discriminating on all further pipe purchases. I actually do buy other pipes than just Rad's but I now look at the stem and button design much closer. I look at the quality of the blast and weight of the pipe much more. I try to make sure that which ever artisan I am buying, his reputation for making a great smoking pipe is similar to Rad. He is my baseline for all my other pipe purchases.

Great looking prince. I kept looking at that on Rad's site but I didn't pull the trigger. I agree with cigrmaster. Since I bought my first Rad I look at other pipes with a more critical eye. Cigrmaster I really hate you now. :puffy:

Sorry for the repost of the pics as I have moved a few of my photobucket pics around in the past. Although, a smoking machine, This one may be gifted to a new home soon.

chris, if you do gift that pipe, the recipient will be one lucky person as it is a beauty. Not sure why you will be sending it to me but I most graciously accept. :mrgreen:

Rad's are one of those pipes I see here on the forums and online that show me that I have to get one some day. As are Cumberland stems. I have yet to own a pipe with a cumberland. I think they're gorgeous.
