What's your fave finish? Smooth or Blasted?

[QUOTE="Fr_Tom, post: 515418, member: 3139"] My father had a decided preference for smooth finishes, and I only remember his having one rusticated finish pipe - a Grabow Westbrook poker (pretty sure). I adopted that preference for smooth and his belief that you picked a blend and stuck with it. Eventually I realized I did not care what my father would have thought, and I bought a few pipes with blasted/rusticated finishes. I liked them. I am probably 50/50 now. I have a fondness for the GBD Prehistoric finish. The finish is not so critical as a decent vulcanite bit as preferences go. Oh yeah - I also got away from the "one blend" thing too! [/QUOTE]
