Another Rad Davis For The Collection

[cigrmaster]

Thanks for all the nice comments, it is appreciated.
@hawky, this Rad makes 22 in the collection. I really need 3 more as 22 joust doesn't sound right.
@neal, yeah the stars were aligned as I threw my high bid in 3 days before the auction ended. It was meant to be I guess.
@pipehunter, yes I did win this from coopersark. Thanks so much for selling it, it smokes like a dream.
@didi, it looks like Boxowood as Jay said. Maybe pipehunter knows for sure.
@Mark, I am so glad you blew your was at the Chicago show. This Rad smokes as good as any in my collection.

Beautiful, love that blast. I hope it squeezes every last drop of flavor out of the tobacco for you.

 

[cigrmaster]

Thanks Mike.

Great find! Its gorgeous and, being a Rad, will surely smoke wonderfully!

 

[pipehunter]

Yes, the ferrule is boxwood.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

That is a great looking pipe. The gnarly blast looks weathered, much like Harris's own aging mug. What a perfect companion.

Amazing pipe to add to, from what I've seen, an amazing collection! I don't know what I envy more, your pipes or your cellar. You've got an eye (and a palate) for the exquisite. ::

 

[cigrmaster]

Thanks for the kind words guys.
peck, that pipe definitely looks better than my mug.

 

[rmpeeps]

Very nice score Harris. Enjoy!

That Rad is pretty rad! Congrats Harris!

 

[cigrmaster]

Thanks Peeps and jesse.
It is kind of totally Rad dude.

I am especially happy for you, Harris, because I know you have still not attained your 365 day set of Rad Davis pipes. :wink:

Classy, Harris, truly! You seem to be with Rads the way I am with Caminettos! As many as I have, I can never resist looking at more, even smooth ones. (And as much in love with New Dears & the Business finish, believe me, that's saying something!!)

Mighty nice.

 

[cigrmaster]

Thanks for the nice comments.
Steve, I am trying to get to 25 Rad's, 22 is a lousy number. 365 might be a tad difficult since he has retired.
Bill, I used to own a few of the older Radice/Ascorti Caminetto's and they were great smokers. Sounds like you have that all figured out.

Harris,because of you my Rad Davis now stands at 17.
My goal is 21. That way I will have a three week rotation.
I also have 1970s Caminettos in my collection. I agree they are really great smokers.

 

[cigrmaster]

keith, good for you. You are right, you need 4 more. I never thought about the number 21 in those terms before. I could have quit with that number. Now I am duty bound to get 25 or maybe 28 for a four week rotation, that could take a while.

great looking Rad - love the blast!

31, Harris, 31. Or maybe the answer is 42. Who knows?
