Embarcadero (of course) in the 1970s-era smooth (!) Ascorti-Radice Caminetto that Joshoowah all-but gave me last week. I can't pronounce it the Best of the Best here yet due to LL's 25-Smokes Rule (minimum number required to reach a balanced assessment), but it's a truly exceptional pipe with enough (pretty careful) miles on it by now to have reached its full potential.
Never had an A-R before -- I can see what they were raving about now.
