Damn that is one fine looking pipe, I like the stain on the rim contrasted with the black blast - congrats!

Wow that is an awesome pipe. Kind of amusing how well it matches that 3 Nuns tin. :lol:

Nice. The inlay of spalted tamarind really sets it off.

I love a black blast on a billiard - and this one with the cumberland saddle bit is simply smashing. You are on a real roll here.

Awesome pipe, I love the shape and the 'blast........what am I sayin'. I love everything about it. Except the fact that it's not in MY rotation. Hope you enjoy it for many many years.

Question: Do you dedicate a certain tobacco to a pipe like that?

Thanks for the great comments!

Question: Do you dedicate a certain tobacco to a pipe like that?

With all of my Rad's, I only smoke VA and VA blends. I do not dedicate a pipe to a certain VA blend like others do. I only have a few pipes dedicated to Latakia blends. I do like my VA and VA blend pipes to be 3/4 or 13/16 bowl diameter for the best flavor(to me).

Beautiful pipe. Congrats and happy smoke rings.

Chris, another great Rad for your collection, well done. Looks eerily similar to one of mine...lol. I am sure it is going to be a great smoker, let us know when you fire it up.
