Just looked up the Noce - love that finish! Sometimes I wish I would have opted with the smooth finishes for my collection, but then I think back on all the times I've accidentally dropped these pipes and I'm thankful that they're rusticated... haha.I got the Ninja Noce 1001, it's like this one but smooth.

Yeah I hear you on that, all my pipes are smooth finish, which I like but I have scratched a few. Then every time I smoke it I'm like ugh! There's that scratch! Lol but I figure it wear and tear and part of the pipes life, it's mine and tells a story I guess. That's what I tell myself at least.Just looked up the Noce - love that finish!

Exactly. It gives them character! The scuffs and scratches are probably my favorite part of my brass zippo. Twelve or so years of memories and good smokes!Yeah I hear you on that, all my pipes are smooth finish, which I like but I have scratched a few. Then every time I smoke it I'm like ugh!

Thank you for mentioning that. I just ordered the 12oz tub of it. We don’t get many sutliff blends in the UK but I’m lucky to have a company who ships to the UK with no issues so hopefully 12oz will last me a good long time.Never was able to sleep, so I'll start my day with a bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Maybe later, I can get a snooze in.

I heard the sad news that EGR will be discontinued along with most all the Sutliff and Mac Baren blends. I'm fortunate to have what I hope is somewhere close to a life time supply of it. I do feel sad that EGR's grand daughter won't get royalties on the blend after this March.
