Today, is a sad day. A piece has departed the
BDV Cheap Bastard Collection. A piece that represented a shift in attitude. The birth of an obnoxious glass snob attitude.
The Black Leaf Saxo, the bubbler that married MFLB and Milk Shot, forever in history. A piece that earned a spot in probably the single greatest collection of pertinent information on the planet... Vaporpedia.
This was a day I knew was coming. As Lev (Leviathan) and Allison (SSFG) started my journey, into a world of really nice glass. The Saxo began to lose its luster. I will miss its perfectly firing tree, that MASSIVE 6" base. The untippable bubbler. I won't miss its ridiculously large 38mm mouthpiece.
With the pending arrival of a new SSFG piece and a Dirty Rico Christmas present for myself... something needed to go. It went to my bud tender and friend, as a gift. The constant beneficiary of my departure from the club.
The era of Chinese glass coming to an end. Only the Infamous $40 Vapor Brothers Hyrdrator Knock-Off remains.
If the tree is cut as well as the Saxo I just got rid of is. It should be a nice piece.
