    Curly Block Now From Wessex

    It seems that Curly Block will now be under the Wessex name. I wonder if the change to the recipe (more burley, less perique) is the reason for the name change. Photo of the older, beloved version. :)

    A Pair of Old Friends (Comoy & Bewlay)

    A recent post about estate pipes motivated me to show a couple of pipes I just got in. These are small pipes, probable around the 90 to 100 year old mark. The Comoy is a "second" Roseberry Extra with a London Made football stamp, the other pipe is a Bewlay Spiral.

    Barling Quaint - Photo Heavy

    I think this is an old one, perhaps Jesse could let me know his thoughts. There are definitely a few battle scars, this was a very well loved pipe by it's former owner. The shank and stem are squared on three sides yet rounded on the top, very cool!
