Captain Black Briar Pipe

I still have about half a dozen I got in the 1990's. They used to offer 3 shapes in each line: a straight billiard, a bent billiard, and a third which would vary. I'd get the billiards in pairs (bent & straight). To the OP, that's a nice straight Helmsman, one of my favorite lines. The Galleon was stained dark brown and the Sloop was a black sandblast (going from memory now). There were a couple other lines, I've still got them somewhere.

This one actually says "Schooner". Going to pick it up on Wednesday. I'll see where he got it from. New/unsmoked

I'll have to check my collection, I don't remember seeing a Schooner before (but it's been awhile)!

I've never seen a Schooner before. The ones I know are: Helmsman (light walnut), Galleon (smooth brown), Sloop (black sandblast), Sentinel (two-tone burgundy), and Yeoman (brown sandblast). I think there's also a Windjammer that's very similar to a Helmsman.

Here are photos of the Sentinel (top) and Helmsman (bottom).


I also found 2 Smoker's Pride pipes I got from the pouch offer (I remember they were very affordable) back in the 1990's. They must have plastic stems as they are still black.


Enjoy your new pipe! Now you just need a CB rest for it (they used to come in the tobacco tubs, like toys in cereal boxes)!

And one guy who felt obligated to smoke Captain Black in that pipe, despite knowing how stupid that concept is.

I only smoke St. Bruno in my Ogden’s St. Bruno pipe. No feeling of obligation, it’s just fitting.

I can go either way on things like that. I don't know how it works but yes sometimes it just feels right and other times it just doesn't feel needed. Though I have found that with branded snuff boxes I try to match the brand to the snuff inside but mainly to avoid explaining first that yes that's the Sharrow mills Dandy and the box is filled with Indian snuff and both brands are great but.... (the whole time knowing 90 percent of them are going to forget what was said and tell other people the guy on the box is named Andy and he's from India.
