[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 520432, member: 2318"] I was wondering about this, while smoking out on my deck one evening, and noticed my Lacroix’s one star on the mouthpiece and another stamped on the shank. it’s been for me a light, sweet, dry smoker. It’s rugged finish is the sort of feature that’s pleasing to the piper or not. It’s pleasing to me, and the rugged, flattened shank gives a nice grip. But the rugged finish seemed to me to throw off the usual quality measures such as grain, specks, fills, bald spots and whatnot. When the days got shorter there was insufficient light to notice such detail. I’ve liked French pipes ever since I read a comment from Sebastian Beo — I want my pipes to be well made from quality briar, handsome in appearance, and affordable for the working man. I don’t know how that does as pricing strategy, but certainly the thought is admirable. [/QUOTE]
