I agree!That thing is going to be ridiculously pretty when the briar colors, holy cow.

Dang Ben! Where did you find this gorgeous piece?About to touch off the first bowl in this Radice Liverpool. Stokkebye twist flake. I’m quite impressed with the rind rustication, it’s really tactile. The “pure” finish, or lack thereof, really sealed the deal with the Cumberland. I was initially tempted to just admire this one and sniff it occasionally, as the bare briar smells so dang good lol…View attachment 330521
Well I just answered my question after looking at the Corti newsletter that was in my inbox. Again, wonderful pick up. Your collection must be filling out nicely these days.Dang Ben! Where did you find this gorgeous piece?
Al Pascia has some Pure Rind piece right now. They are really nice.
Thanks!SP EU has a couple, as well.
Radice needs to do more diamond shanks.
Lol you're not going to get called out by anyone in this thread. Looking forward to seeing the one on its way (and any others you order...).Back on my bullshit. Still haven’t smoked the other one I just got, and this still isn’t the original Radice I ordered a few weeks ago that’s yet to arrive

I’m starting to question whether or not it will arrive at all. It was in Atlanta on August 8th, with zero movement since. I was more excited about that one than either of the other two, but I guess I’m just going to give it some more time and see what happens.Lol you're not going to get called out by anyone in this thread.

You might also try to file an inquiry/complaint to see if that moves things along. Two weeks is a long time to not have any movement.I’m starting to question whether or not it will arrive at all.

Glad it finally made it! Man, they need to be using these ebonite colored stems more often. I love my Radice with the green-black swirl.
Dude, 100% agree. I’m a huge fan. It’s one of the reasons I like Ashton so much. If I ever get a custom Radice like PipeIT was talking about, I would want a Cumberland stem fo sho.Glad it finally made it! Man, they need to be using these ebonite colored stems more often.

Yeah 100%. I actually reached out to the Radices about getting a pipe made but they didn't respond. I'm guessing where business is at now, taking custom orders isn't practical or time/cost effective.Dude, 100% agree. I’m a huge fan. It’s one of the reasons I like Ashton so much.

Good to know. I’ll just keep my eyes peeled for some gems, the hunts is fun, as you well know.Yeah 100%. I actually reached out to the Radices about getting a pipe made but they didn't respond. I'm guessing where business is at now, taking custom orders isn't practical or time/cost effective.
Wow all these stunning pipes you are getting in!
