    Mine arrived yesterday and loving the grain and stain on this Rua. I was running out of time as they were going quickly. Luckily after reviewing all the other Rua finishes after the madness there was just one other pipe that was slightly better. Overall very happy.

    Looks like a poor staining job. Unfortunate the quality control when you’re spending north of 300.

    72 seconds after smokingpipes loaded their POY there was still two silver cap rusticated pipes.

    Here’s my win off the SP frenzy. There were a few silver cap but personally I don't think they look great on the rusticated finish.

    I was able to snag this Rua. I was taking to much time review all the rua options and they were going quick. Luckily this is a good looking one I think.

    Looks magical! Thanks for sharing. I know what to look forward to when I open my tin. Bought the other lot of Penzance and frog Morton from the same seller.

    Does Retorting Ruin an Established Curing Process?

    My understanding was that after some use the oil curing goes away. It’s initially good to break in. https://www.smokingpipes.com/smokingpipesblog/single.cfm/post/briar-curing-from-sawmill-smoke#:~:text=Perhaps%20the%20method%20most%20familiar,during%20the%20break-in%20period
