Hi Steve, hi all,

 Some months ago, I bought both Dan Pipe's pipes of the year 1996 - made by
Ser Jacopo; one of them being a silver spigot Rhodesian La Fuma (reddish
smooth finish).It's a nice straight grain pipe, looks well, smokes well and
cost DM 298 ($ 200). It's really a nice pipe, but it is - for me - a
'second'; it has some fills made of a red, shiny, well visible material.
So, this pipe demonstrates that Ser Jacopo (contrarily to Mark Tinsky's
experience - see 'musings from the workbench') also sells filled pipes. I
don't know if this is an exception, because this is my only smooth Ser
Jacopo.

Smoke in peace,

Marc
