[QUOTE="sisyphus, post: 342362, member: 2514"] Comoy's hierarchy: Specimen Blue Riband Selected Straight Grain * Extraordinaire London Pride Tradition Grand Slam Sandblast those are all the first quality lines. The following are Comoy's house seconds: Guildhall Everyman after that are many, many seconds lines that do not bear the Comoy's name at all. In that first group you won't find fills. The stems will be hand cut. Specimen and SSG are straight grain. Blue Riband straight and flame. Extraordinaire more often than not ODA sized pipes, but occaisionally used for pipes with spectacular birdseye. All the rest are mixed grain. In the last decade before the merger Comoy's introduced a few new lines, but nothing really of interest except for the Pebble Grain sandblasts. * Selected Straight Grains were themselves seconds of a sort. They would have, but for some flaw, been Specimens. Sometime you can't find the flaw, sometimes it's more obvious. Sometimes they had a C on the stem, but more often they did not. [/QUOTE]
