Oh right I forgot about that. Do you know the history of why they went with a complicated dating method to start? And what happened in 2014?

Yeah. The slots are smooth and comfortable. No sharp edges. Everything is carefully shaped by hand. The army mounts in particular are some of the most comfortable stems I've had on any pipe. Period. Though there is a degree of variation between them, because they're made by a team as I understand it. One thing about Musicos is each one is a unique piece. They aren't comparable to factory pipes like Savinelli.
Here’s the slot on mine. It passes a pipe cleaner well and is very smooth on the tongue.
Got a new Set Special today..
Nice cross grain and a thicc machined chunk of silver. Red brindle stem is on the dark side, so doesn't pick up well in photos.

Wow that looks slightly chonky because of its length. Which wouldn't be notable for other carvers but that’s saying something for Musico but it hasn't lost any of that Musico elegance.
Good eye - it's definitely slightly chonkier than many of their straight billiard varietals. Weighing in at a svelte 40(!) grams.
A bit over my preferred limit of 32g, but I'm becoming more liberal in my old age.

I keep circling back to this one:

I wish it were smaller (sub 30g) and a tanshell but could get over both of those. What has me pausing is the straight tenon rather than a true army.

A pair of Billiards 1 with Army Mount
Foundation by Musico has quickly become the most well represented brand in my collection.
Currently out for delivery is this "Club" army mount.
It should be waiting for me when I get home from work today. Just need to decide what will be the inaugural smoke.
Very nice cross grain/birdseye here, with a true silver army mount. Lately, I seem to be amassing more and more straight grain oriented pipes. Cross grain was always my favorite though, and this pipe should mark a return to that tendency.

Another one I hemmed and hawed on and decided it was just slightly too tall. Now I realize I what I really decided was to be an idiot. Great pick up!

What I really want is a sandblast (floodlight?) army mount but this will have to do for now...
Still got a long way to catch up to Brian.

That's a fair bit nicer than a Ropp. Nice choice!

Sure is but it would look better being smoked than sitting in my drawer
