This is my only Radice, a twin bore rind. It's a sublime smoker and a lucky find.

I really like the bamboo on curved stems. They don’t do many like that.
My new Radice Rind. First smoke today, with Hogshead. Bowl and shank totally clean. Stem had some black dye? in it, cleaned out with a few everclear-dipped pipe cleaners. Smokes like a dream!
My only Radice pipe is this nice little Rubino poker. Only smoked it 
a couple of times, but so far I'm impressed!

I posted one here in July I bought this past summer with the Faux bamboo look, not sure if you saw the post, just thought I’d share it again, if you missed it.
Radice Clear Dublin with Baldo Baldi Briar :: Italian Pipes
Hello, I purchased this last week, and opened it today on my birthday, as a birthday present to myself. 🎂 🎁 🎈 🎉 Purchased from Tabaccheria Corti, a Radice Clear Dublin with a faux bamboo look in the briar, and with Baldo Baldi briar aged over 20 years. Here’s to Luca and Tabaccheria Corti...

I wouldn’t recommend using Everclear, Isopropyl, or anything for that matter in acrylic. I have come to realize it will slowly break it down, for lack of better words, it eats at it.
I’d also do the same for cumberland/vulcanite.
Seems odd if you bought it new, there would be any such dye/black coming out of it.. hmm odd.
Enjoy that thing, the beauty of that pipe, is that it’s double duty as a billy club... LOL
LOL! yeah, those are substantial sidewalls!I wouldn’t recommend using Everclear, Isopropyl, or anything for that matter in acrylic. I have come to realize it will slowly break it down, for lack of better words, it eats at it.

i generally have a light touch when using the solvent. was very surprised at the black with first couple passes through the stem. never seen that happen before. definitely new/unsmoked. perhaps drill dust, but it took a few to stop staining the pipe cleaners. tastes fine. ;-)
I'm somewhat partial to the Clear line of Radice pipes. Here are some of mine:
The third and fourth from the top are G. Have a couple of GG, but I find those to be too big and don't smoke them anymore.

That's a cross grain, quite different from the other four
Just smoke a tad slower. Its not that short. I think I know the one you are looking at. Its a pretty one. If you really like a dry cool smoke try a cm of meer chips in the bottom. It keeps your pipe really clean too. You can reuse them several times. Broken garden pot chips work also. My wife gardens so there is usually some laying around to beat with a hammer.
I'm not sure how short you're talking, bersekero. If you're talking about the smaller pipe in my pic, the bottom pipe, the answer is no. It's just a smaller capacity bowl: shorter smokes, but everything else remains equal. If you're talking about the chubby pipes that Radice and others make, then I don't know. I never liked the way those pipes look, therefore never got one. But they are intriguing pipes...
No, I don't think so. At least I've never noticed that. As Sigmund suggested, how fast you puff is the answer to how hot it gets.
