The Gentleman From Richmond
I recently purchased the same pipe. I want to love it but there are flaws in the bowl (out of round) and a few scars in the blast. I realize that can happen but I am most dissappointed that I emailed them twice and have heard nothing...
That’s strange. Greg does great work and is generally pretty responsive. The 4 I have from him over the years have been flawless. Hopefully you’ll hear back from him soon as that’s not typical.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, orange roughy and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2020 Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. The ferals are still inside out of the cold, windy rain.

Orange roughy and oreo dory are the only ocean fish I like, More of a fresh water fish eater, though seldom get the chance.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2016 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown 1962 Barling’s Make Ye Olde Wood Special 2104 Made in England billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo.

Then, I smoked a bowl of Watch City Jim’s Golden Ticket in a straight smooth brown mid-late 60s Corporate Era Barling 5579 London England (made by Charatan) lumberman with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo.

Currently, I'm close to finishing this bowl of first release Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a straight smooth brown 1920s-30s Sasieni patent 8 dot Marborough lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Been watching movies with m'lady.

Did a little low calorie snacking, and am half way through this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. It's still raining, but for some reason, those goofball ferals wanted out about a half hour ago. Harry the Hairy went under the deck. Daisy the Feral Princess went to one of the heated cat houses. Tomato the Brave ran off and I couldn't see where he was going. Just before I started writing this post, I looked out the back door and they were ready to come back in.

Now smoking year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. Tomato the Brave was by the back door and Harry the Hairy was a foot away. After a few minutes, Tomato started growling at Harry who got very nervous. Tomato wanted out when I told him to stop, and Harry wanted out, too. When Harry tried to go out, Daisy the Feral was behind my chair, growled and took two swipes at him. Harry ran out and Daisy followed. Those relationships sure have changed in the past year. Harry has mellowed since we socialized him and had him neutered, and avoids trouble instead of being the bully that he used to be. The other cats aren't forgetting, unfortunately. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is in the kitchen snacking.
