This was another line that Holm carved, outside the Ben Wade contract pipes he was producing for Snug Harbor/Lane. I think they were mostly carved in the mid to late 70's or early 80's. They are one of a number of projects Holm carved, such as the Monte Verdi series, the Rungsted Mariner series, etc. Some refer to these as seconds, but I don't think that is accurate, merely another line from a carver.
I would enjoy pictures, if you could post some. The BB pipes were a mixture of blast and smooth finishes with an occasional horn finish on the shank.
