But that's precisely my point Ron - any idiot can follow instructions/recipes/standard practise etc to produce something as long as everything goes according to those plans. It takes someone with real skill and craft to still produce something worthwhile when something goes pear-shaped. The...

Wow! just Wow! That is a stunner Ron! I was just about to comment on No. 15 when you posted this, so sod No. 15 - ME LIKE THIS! I'm not a great fan of plateau'd bowl rims but it just looks so right on this one. The 'pit creek' is a bummer but I can live with that :) As for the stem, well I'm...

Very roughly it says: If you want to keep this pipe in good condition - Don't use alcohol on the pipe - A rest after each smoke will help avoid bitterness (last bit an educated guess) - A regular clean will make my services very agreeable My French is very rusty and was never that great but I...

Many thanks Gents. I had a nice quiet day during which I christened my Castello (which has been waiting a couple of months or more for this day) with some aged Escudo - Marvellous Adam
