I've always been curious about Bakelite. Sounds like an in-between of vulcanite and acrylic. I love my vulcanite but the lazy in me allows oxidation to happen a little too much.
Passing the last third of this bowl of Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
I hope the rain made your way last night!
Dark Plug in a short army 80s. got some of that much needed rain today
Sillem's Councilor in a Castello great line.
Had a bowl of Sutliff Victorian in the Big Ben Ranger this morning, then a bracing toot of McChrystal’s O&G before heading out to work!
Balkan Supreme in a Karlheinz Joura "A" volcano.
Oooh, you got one of the bigguns, nice. I love those dark + contrasty stains.
Hal in a Castello Billiard.

Assuming that's an Occhio di Pernice? Lovely grain.
It’s comfortable, and I like some of the colors. I’m not much for the super exotic colors though. I will be prioritizing it as a preferred stem material from now on.
Sam's Flake in the Briarworks 10th Anniversary Zulu with iced decaf. Nice and distinct (to me) sweet jar note of prune. Tore up the flake and dried for a spell on some paper. Chamber fits one whole flake just right.
This was last night. I bought this rusticated Pete 69 back in June and just now decided it was time to give it a shot. I finished up a tin of Skiff Mixture in it.
Even decided to live dangerously. I usually clean out the bowl coating on them but this time I fired it up without doing so. It didn't effect the flavor as far as I could tell.
Excellent performer. Nice size. Works for me.
Was outside in the drizzle, enjoying a bit of Laphroig along with it. 'Twas a wonderful evening.

I've got only one Bakelite stem in the collection but it's in my top 3 or 4 stems. It has a rigid texture not unlike acrylic stems but it sure feels more forgiving.
Yeti uses it perhaps more than anyone.
Thanks sounds like something I'd like. PAD engaged!
cool pipe, and awesome stem!
Thank you, yes.
Although they mis-stamped it a Perla Nera, they did get the Occhio stamp on eventually.
