[QUOTE="howellhandmade, post: 39423, member: 14"] Yes, that's an excellent example of habitual abuse. Notice the relationship of the damage to the draft hole in most of the pipes. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the CR above, just venturing a possible explanation of how a pipe with such excellent grain and a decent pedigree might go for $75. The same pipe made today by Mark would be several hundred dollars. There are many possible explanations for the darkening, but without a clear view of the inside of the bowl a bidder might well take into account the possibility that the briar is thin there, or that the pipe has been smoked too hot.
