Mixture 79 Sampled
Mixture #79 was one of my all time favorite blends back in the 1960's. Holds a lot of good memories and can still enjoy the flavor of this olde time blend. Not only did I enjoy it, the customers in the Music Store at which I worked always remarked that they loved the aroma. Win win situation...- docwatson

Red Carpet is/was a tobacconist shop in Providence, Rhode Island. Not sure if they are still in business. This could be a pipe made for their shop.- docwatson

The Exmoor (Comoy's) Shape 283 Rhodesian
Nice looking briar Al. Loved the research done by Jon Guss as usual. If you need any info on obscure tobaccianna Jon's the go to guy for sure. I've owned several Exmoor pipes, none without fills and consider them a second line of Comoy. Still some great smokers though. Cheers.- docwatson

Holy Grail - Sav Guibileo d'Oro 320KS Fiammata
Great pipe there Al. I have one 320 straight grain smooth and it's a favorite. A GDO is one rare puppy, lol..Congrats. -
The Prettist Poker and Tamper I've Ever seen
MAGNIFICENT. What a superb sandblast finish. This is the REAL grain not the manufactured grain done by some blasters that just make their own rings and swirls with the blasting nozzle. Congrats to you both. Ed for a wonderfully crafted pipe and Brad for the commissioning. -
