I kinda like this one. The grain is really fantastic IMHO. Dunhill would have to charge 3K for this kinda grain. The top and bottom have a nice birds eye. One stinkin, lousy sand pit. The shank treatment is ivory. Drilling is great for me. Straight down the middle. comments welcome. The stem is a blank and could use a little more "finish" toward the bit. Only carnuba for a stain. I assume it will darken some from smoking
Here is a link. I don't know where if anywhere you attach a pic to these posts.

It only looks thin in back. The wall gets considerably thicker as soon as you get below the rim. Had to check myself with a pait of calipers. Just put flame to tobacco in it a couple of hours ago. Smoked very well IMHO. No signs of heat coming through anywhere. Thanks for the imput.
