[QUOTE="Ocelot55, post: 212994, member: 2387"] Vulcanite feels much better on the teeth, but because I always use a softie, acrylic is just fine. Acrylic may have a lot of interesting colours, but I've never seen a faux cumberland stem that looked good, and I LOVE cumberland in all its various shades Bill Taylor (RIP) experimented with several blends and came up with something called Ashtonite. I have a pipe made with it, but to me it feels more like acrylic than vulcanite, maybe a hair softer. Anyone else had experience with Ashtonite? [/QUOTE]
