About to fire Stokkebye Bullseye Flake in a Dunhill Cumberland 5117 Squat Bulldog. -3 F this morning. Working in my den. Coffee in hand.
I believe that para rubber (I've also see it written 'Para rubber') is a particular type or grade of vulcanite. Ed liked the quality of that material and made a point of noting that it was what he used for his pipes.I don't know why I wrote that the stem is acrylic when it's either vulcanite or para rubber. My mistake, and I appreciate you pointing it out to me. I'll fix that after I finish this post. Btw, what is the difference between para rubber and vulcanite?
I don't know what that circle represents, but there's nothing stamped inside it, and it's stamped on the stem. I have seen that on two other Connoissseur pipes. Wish I knew the answer.
