It took over 4 months, I don’t recall how many price changes and Best Offers I submitted but today I did a Best Offer again and he countered with less than I would pay so I got a two for, that being it’s a Castello Epoca which is their early Drip Wax model. banjo  |

Even as a smoker/collector I still use the need/want theory. Works out rather well. Congrats.

Congratulations, I shot him an offer a while back but I'm glad to know where it is going. IMO it's a much rarer and more desirable "Rock" style carving and not the more common candle drip. I talk about some of the carving styles in this display handout I did for the 2013 CPCC Show. docs.google.com/file/d/0B6S7CCGs1FPCS0tqN3hkOWJRYUE/editI just picked up a very unique "new dear" style Epoca on Friday night from an Italian dealer. It is a first of kind for my collection of over fifty Epoca pipes. I'm thrilled and can't wait for it to arrive.  |

daveinlax, excellent article and photos of the different Epoca treatments. Now that I know it’s not a Drip Wax but something even rarer, as if the Epoca itself isn’t rare enough, I’m thrilled, regards.
