CiM Tuxedo is 'ordinary black' but it is grey-based instead of blue or purple like the Italian blacks.
Hades is reported to be more like Intense Black, and is pretty cool with silver glass, too.

I use Tuxedo exclusively as my black now and Peace as my white.

Is there a reason you use Tuxedo instead of Hades (given the description of it earlier as a more intense black) Kevan?

I only use tuxedo for black now because there is none of the bleeding with white. if overheated it does tend to start the webbing like intense but more yellowy. I just back off and make sure its all crisp, no webbing. very interesting that it is navy blue. i might have to give peace a whirl, what is the difference, is it stiffer like most cim glass? that i might love a lot

yep, much stiffer, i love it
i was using it as a base for murrini this week and it was a dream to work with, wayyyy easier to handle
the unheated rod is really pretty too, pearly (not that that counts, but i like admiring glass)

Hades is reactive with silver glass, while Tuxedo is a stable transparent true black. Tuxedo is my go-to black - very reliable, unlike recent batches of Effetre and Vetro black.

And another ah HAH!
I wasn't sure (because as a newbie I haven't tried the silver glasses yet) ..but I wondered from something Kevan said (it was Kevan.. right? "cool reactions w/silver glasses"?) ..that could be a drawback if you want a nice clean line of black somewhere... *
*(I'm havin' a proud moment ;}
