Just finished smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1978 smooth full bend Dr. Grabow Omega. Next is Tilbury in a 1990s smooth briar calabash shaped Butz-Choquin Maitre Pipier JR Fait Main with a horn ferrule.
Just finished smoking Jim's Test VaPer in a 2014 smooth medium bend Basil Meadows egg with an aluminum band and a "root beer swirl" acrylic stem. Next is Viprati in a 1984 three quarter bend medium brown Ascorti KS Business Dublin.
Prince Albert in a Legend, and folks, it doesn't get much better than this. I don't know if it's familiarity, or what but I do like the real thing better than the copy.
