𐄛 Additional Info 𐄛

Just look at the tight birdseye on the rim and the even ring grain on the bowl! Luciano isn’t the most common name among Italian makes. The quality of briar on this one was very unexpected to me. This pipe has been smoked so minimally that the grain pattern is still clearly recognizable in the thin cake in the bowl. As I was cutting into this stem, Ifound what appeared to be a cumberland region. The material still had integrity, so I decided to keep this stem the way it is as a kind of accidental “inlay”. :)
