Sutliff Match Elizabethan in a Radice Rind billiard, with iced tea.
Thanks,Cortez.
Radice makes some nice pipes.
Now smoking C&D Warped: Cloud Hopper in a 1970s smooth medium bend Stanwell Registered 969-48 Design Choice 837 sitter with a vulcanite stem and ferrule in the military mount style.
Yes. I was just browsing them at SmokingPipes.com, and noticed that they are oil cured. I wonder if that is part of the reason they smoke so sweetly.
A little Rattray 7 Reserve in a Savinelli Bing
Now smoking Wilke Chocolate in a 1979 no name French briar smooth full bend egg with a black vulcanite stem. Watching The Three Stooges.
Didn't get to smoke all day as planned. It seems an afternoon nap got in the way of that. Now smoking some Peterson Early Morning Pipe. My lady tried this one and found it "spicy", but she enjoyed it.
I can’t speak authoritatively about the oil curing process,and it’s effect,but I noticed that a recent Rinaldo purchase of mine has shank and stem drillings of slightly larger than diameter than some other makers.Maybr your Radice has it like this,too.This can contribute to improved flow,less overall condensation,and the sweetness you speak of.

I like the pipe stand! I have some cedar, cypress and arborvitae logs in my wood shop and I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.

Finishing off a 7 year old tin of GLP Embarcadero in a Baglan claw and egg meer. I’ve smoked this one every day through March Meer Madness.
Just had some Father Dempsey in my Vauen Basic apple.
Marlin Flake in a Tilshead apple.
Just went on a walk around the neighborhood with my wife and our dog. On the walk I enjoyed some Carter Hall in a cob with a stem that was given to me by a forum friend.
