My observation is that the oil cured Radices are in demand by smokers who understand that little extra the oil curing imparts. When David Field ceased importing the pipe, the Radice family decided to suspend the extra labor the oil curing required. I think that was a mistake. This pipe is a Grp. 6 size in excellent condition with terrific rustication. The draw is wide-open. The swan-like shape is always pleasing.
