I have three smooth Mark Twain,s so I thought it would be nice to obtain a sandblasted set. These came in this morning and a little Blue Magic on the silver and a quick, protective coat of carnuba on the stems and they are ready to smoke.
The Mark Twain pipe is just like any other MT you've seen. This example is 6 1/4" long and 1 7/8" high The tobacco chamber is 3/4" by 1 5/8". The pipe weighs in at 2.1 oz. and has the Peterson's lip.
The Poker is 5 15/16" long and 2" high. The tobacco chamber is the same as the MT. The pipe is rather light at 1.5 oz. and has a slight fish tail lip.
Both pipes have Peterson's consertive sandblast which I prefer and sport the inlaid silver P in the stem. I find the black with silver coloring attractive. There is no dip staining in either pipe but they are carbon coated.
I haven't figured out what I'm going to break them in with yet, probably one of my latakia blends.
