Sunset coming in through the window, but this time I'm still in my study. Got the opportunity to continue breaking in the Brigham Klondike with another classic: 1-Q

Watching Kung Fu starring David Carradine and smoking Presbyterian Ordained in a Radice Rind
Marxman Bench Made Four Panel Billiard, carved. Smoking an American/English blend I am working on perfecting for myself. This will become my dominate English blend when I zero in on how I like it.
Radicle Rind is on my radar. What can you tell us about the fit, finish, craftsmanship, and the draw?
Fit and finish are top notch in my opinion. This one was a Christmas gift from my wife-,it is a really great smoker. I think Radice gives you a lot of pipe for the money.

Now Smoking: Just finished a late dinner of Wifey-made double cheese burgers, and now, back into my recliner, feet-up, watching re-runs Emergency! - Squad 51, Squad 52, fat lady trapped in her bathtub with her big toe stuck in the opening of the water facet - with my Kristen pipe, loaded with Stuliff TS-12 Dark Fire Cured Kentucky Burley; and, deep in Nicotine-saturated meditation.

I need to revisit the Kung Fu series.
I’m 4 episodes into the first season (1972) and enjoying it. I watched all 3 seasons as reruns in the early 80’s.

The one and only Radice I have, is top notch. I had a Castello I bought and didn’t smoke and sold. To me, Castello’s Sea Rock and Radice’s Rind, look like the same quality.
But, people have talked about Castello having quality control issues, can’t say I’ve ever heard the same of Radice, so maybe since Radice is a smaller carver, their quality is overall better, hmm.
I’m not sure anyone has much of anything bad to say about Radice, other than acrylic stems, for those that don’t like acrylic.
My Radice Rind Straight!
Orlik Golden Sliced is on the menu for this evening in a “new to me” 1974 Dublin Castle Peterson which also happens to be my birth year pipe. Hope y’all are having or have had a good evening 
A third of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite. Listening to the special last episode of Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour: "Whiskey".
Just finishing this bowl of D&R Windsail in a straight smooth brown undated (1940s?) Orlik Reject London Made 0 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Now smoking Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
