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.
The little 'wing' is flush with a center run of the briar....so it 'sits' in the palm or on a flat surface pretty well. Really nice piece by Jesse J......a lot going on visually (which is up my alley) but still a very comfortable pipe.
I was unable to complete my remodel during my vacation so, I am working on it on my days off. I was able to squeeze in a bowl of Edgeworth RR Match in a Barling Londoner #6279 Pot with a saddle bit.
