 Smoke Path (Air Hole): Wiping to the bottom of the chamber and right in the middle. Perfect smoke path.
 Shank: Clean. No extra processing.
 Chamber Cleaning: This pipe was likely filled once, lit, and then not fully smoked. The chamber interior was not treated with any special care because it was deemed unnecessary. It is a nearly mint pipe.
 Defects: Perfect workmanship. No teeth marks on the mouthpiece. Perfect.
 Score: 9/10
 Comment: Estate, it's truly hard to find a pipe of this quality and purity. Both in taking photos and writing this description, I can say that this pipe truly impressed me. The cut, in particular, is a true classic. The stem quality is quite good, the condition is excellent, and the workmanship is impeccable. The "Extra" designation on the stem emphasizes its quality.
 Note: Any pipe that hasn't created a track (cake layer) will heat up unless you use a very, very slow, systematic pace. Heat-up is not a criterion for pipes without track.
