老娘私房煙斗【五四四】－音樂與煙斗~這是自由老娘胡說八道鬼扯蛋的小狗窩

2018.01.29 星期一晴轉陰

【MEDICO - casino】美國老牌量產煙斗製造廠，石楠木製噴砂型彎斗。

此斗難得為早期庫存"全新品"老斗，現今要找這種全新老品~要靠運氣。

斗缽木料非常優~重量很輕，桃型撲克的亮面圖騰令人想起..西部牛仔。

斗長 : 14.5，斗高 : 4.5，斗寬 : 3.7，斗口 : 2.3 公分。

斗嘴彎的弧度非常正確...叼斗時可避免斗缽內(後側)造成的角度偏燒。

早期的老石楠木瘤用料真奢華，不似近20年的平價煙斗~樹齡普遍偏低。

煙道頭段為3mm鑽孔，榫頭中段濾心處為6mm設定，斗嘴末端以2mm收尾。

該斗廠歷史資料超豐富，附上該廠早期各種老斗型資料與簡介分享如下:

Brylon is a synthetic material (high temperature resin mixed with wood flour) invented by S.M. Frank Co in 1966. It's a cheaper, more resistant to cracking alternative to briar. However Brylon is heavier in the mouth and hotter when smoked. S.M. Frank Co has also used this material on its Yello-Bole brand.
