Tinsky uses acrylic as well. I've had both Tinsky and Radice stems, I'd give the edge to Tinsky. Mark will cut a vulcanite stem, but I believe only on request.
Thanks guys. Got it today & it very cool. That one & the Radice's I got, was because of the E-Newsletter from Smoking pipes. When they say new pipes listed for those brands, they were pipes that very cool & wouldn't last long, don't look like their regular inventory.
Going to buy just one more pipe & I am done, a Rad. 8)
The only two new pipes I've ever purchased have both been Tinsky's. They smoke so well, I'm not sure why I look elsewhere. One day I'll get a Tinsky Author with a vulcanite stem, that would seal the deal.
