This is for Bentmike- Rad Collection

[cigrmaster]

Mike asked to see my Rad Davis collection in a post so here they are. They are in order in which I bought them. The first one was new, the next 5 were estate and the last 4 new.

Those are f**king gorgeous, the forth and fifth ones down are right in my wheelhouse. The collection is truly top shelf Harris, Rad's sandblasts are on a level very few pipe makers can achieve. You have good taste and have chosen well.

You are a lucky man to have such a nice collection from a great pipe maker. If I had to choose my favorite it would be the canted sitter, but they are all top notch. Thanks for taking the time to post. Very nice!

Congratulations Harris on all the Rad Davis pipes. I enjoy his pipes also but I only have two at this time. I know they sell super fast after he sends out his email related to new inventory.

Wasn't the cherrywood a rad as well?

Very awesome pipes, Harris! I especially love those spalted tamarind appliques.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys, it is appreciated. It has been a blast collecting Rad's pipes and I look forward to even more. One of my commissions should be done this week so I will be adding another soon. To my eye Rad just makes some beautiful pipes, but even better is the way they smoke. I have had pretty pipes in the past that didn't smoke worth a damn, but everyone of my Rad's is an incredible smoking machine. The thing that keeps amazing me is the fact that I have never heard even a hint of gurgle from anyone of them ever. I have smoked these things outside in the humidity of the Florida summers and even then, I have never needed a pipe cleaner to soak up moisture. I swear Rad has made a pact with the devil of something like that. lol
Adam, that Cherrywood is from Scott Thile. It does look similar to Rad's work though and it is a great smoker.
