[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 217028, member: 1211"] Absolutely. I believe he is one of the few who pour their own stock. His stems aren't only unique in color, but they're often subtle in how perfectly they are shaped to the pipe. It's easy to miss the brilliance in that. They can be flashy in color, but it's the shape and how well they compliment the wood in every way that sets them apart. I mean, I really, really like Roush's stem colors and color compliments, but he is much more a traditionalist than Cooke. It isn't a hammer to the head approach that Cooke takes with stem progressivity, though. His pipes are clearly forward-thinking (while paying homage to those old Dunhill deep blasts), but his stem work is more in the middle, yet entirely leaning towards the future. [/QUOTE]
