Favorite pipe finish?

That must have been awesome! Any idea on how much it was going for?

Also, boy did I ever butcher the English language in that post.

I just figured you were on the tail end of a big bowl of 1792 or something haha

It was being sold as an estate. F. Sykes Wilford and gang came to Japan and brough a bunch of their pipes to sell. I wanna say it was about 500 dollars. It felt like a cat's tongue. Very intriguing feeling.

I prefer smooth easier to keep shiny. 95 % of my collection is smooth

Can't beat smooth with a great birds eye grain.

I voted for a combination. I rarely go for smooth pipes, I prefer sandblast and rustication. BUT it depends on the blast or the rustication. This blast for example is what I desire:
none of that lightly blasted crap where it looks like someone blew pixie dust on it. And as far as rustication goes I'm content with a variation of different finishes.

If a sandblasted or rusticated pipe can't double as a backscratcher, it might as well be smooth!

Amen to that, brother.

I have other pipes but find it hard to smoke out of any of them but this Longchamp, it burns so nice.
