Pulled the trigger on a brand new Rad Davis

[cigrmaster]

I have been admiring his work for a while now and decided to pull the trigger when I saw this one. I love the classic shape and lines and it is in my perfect size range group 5-6. It is 6" long with a bowl height of 2" and weighs only 40 grams. I am re thinking my collection and I like the idea of one man, one pipe and supporting our guys. I think this will be the first of many American pipes I buy. I definitely went over my original price threshold from my party time post, but what the hell, I just paid myself a commission, yeah that's the ticket, a commission, I deserve a commission, I'll make my accountant bury it. lol

Very Nice! You've got some sweet pipes -that one will fit right in. Enjoy.

Darn, are they hiring where you work? :mrgreen: 8O

 

[cigrmaster]

Thanks Mike, it will fit right in, I just love the classics.
Hobie, sorry, I only have one employee now and he has been with me 16 years. If it wasn't for him, I would have never been able to move to Florida. Maybe someday when I cash out you can be my driver. :nana:

Thanks guys, it caught my eye as soon as I saw it. His blast work looks amazing in the pictures, I am sure it will be even prettier in person.

I usually don't care to much for black sandblasted or rusticated pipes. but this on I do like. Not sure if it is the shape or the stem or what, but I like it ! Nice!

 

[baronsamedi]

Same here. I'm not a big sandblast fan, but the rings and the black look very cool on this one.

That is a beautiful looking pipe. I can't wait to get my birthday presents, got 2 barber b lines and a peterson coming on Sunday! Will upload pics as well.

 

[ocpsdan]

Wow! That's a gorgeous pipe.

I love a black, blasted pipe. Rad's Cumberland stems are always beautiful, great choice!
