Now smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Watching Nero Wolfe starring Mr. Conrad.
 
I have been eying them for a very long time. One day I will buy one.
C&D Small Batch Carolina Red Flake w/ Perique in a Road Town UFO. I took a chance on this pipe, and I’m glad I did. These are very nice, hand made pipes, for ridiculous low prices.
Yes, they come from China, but they are made by some talented craftsmen. The workmanship and fit & finish is great, the drilling is spot on, and aside from a very small pit on the bottom of the bowl, the briar is a very nice piece. The pit was left natural, and is hardly noticeable. No fills at all. The draw is nice, and the pipe is exceptionally light, which indicates a good drying process was used. All in all, a great deal.

2013 Astleys no 109 Medium Flake in a Rad Davis Brandy.

Have yet to see a Rad Davis pipe I wasn't extremely impressed with.
