@cortezattic Thanks for the compliment about the pipe. When it arrived at my B&M (McCranie's) the owner held it back for me. He knew I would want it as I seek out Tonino Jacono's work. He grades his pipes according to chess pieces......Knight, Jack, Rook, Bishop, Queen, King, and Master. The one in the pic is a "master". The master is a new grade and right now is only available thru McCranie's in that finish. I also have a billiard in that finish too. They are great smoking pipes. They are built with the same quality as a Castello, but without the Castello price tag.
