If I was God, I would do an ultra-high-speed time lapse on the evolution of this pipe. I think I know how this happens, but I think I'd need to see it to believe it. Do you think the guy rubbed every square millimeter of this pipe while he smoked it? How does a rusticated finish get so uniformly rounded out like this?

Ha,ha,ha,...that poor pipe is in wretched condition. I bet it smells like Captain Black Original. Do you think that gentleman was a stress smoker?

Too heavy a hand on the buffer can do this too.
