As it’s a sandblast rather than carved (or, rusticated…but I think that the term rustication can cover both carved and blasted) this is a higher grade than the Urano. On the other hand, this particular piece is smaller than most Ardors I’ve seen. It’s a Grp. 3 size, but with a pretty large chamber diameter so you should certainly be able to get a more than decently long smoke. The pipe’s condition is excellent, the draw is wide-open and it passes the cleaner test, although I had to twist the cleaner in the stem, not the shank. In any case, it does appear to need one little twist to get it to flow to the chamber bottom. Check out the quality and depth of the blast. Used.
