I’d held off on a Killarney for a long time but was always going to get one sometime and finally succumbed to a Bard to see what a long stem will be like out on the deck, hopefully by April! The carpet shampoo thing can wait a couple months!
That's how I feel about the Arklow. Maybe this is the time. I have a Bard 68.
De Luxe 2s in the apparently ‘new’ dark finish.
Bought this one from the delightfully old fashioned tobacconist & Gentleman’s Emporium in Bedford, Harrison Simmonds.
An improvement I think, compared to the depressingly dark finish from before.

There’s a test? I’m not worthy.
Good looking Deluxe 02
I've bought a few Petes (online) from Harrison & Simmonds.
Extremely efficient and prompt service and despatch.
That's where I bought my first Rathbone (depending on timing of order vs. arrival, my first pipe) because at that time they had the one I wanted!Good looking Deluxe 02

Dominic Simmonds has also authored a Sherlock Holmes novel and been involved in publishing collections of new Sherlock Holmes tales.
Great folks to deal with.
I recently also found out about Harrison & Simmonds. Haven't pulled the trigger on a pipe but have their eBay store saved for when I eventually buy one from them.
Cheers Cobber.Good looking Deluxe 02

Yes, they’re a class act.
Matthew Simmonds penned that one, not Dominic. Adventure of the Pigtail Twist, a fun read for fans of the great detective.
Sherlock CP Iora Professor arrived finally. It’s darn pretty!
25 year old Peterson Lestrade smooth, P-lip. A little tarnished...
Some may find this interesting. The recent pipe came stained. About a year ago I picked up an Iora spigot that came in that unsustained and bare finish. It became kind of a “workhorse” pipe and was great for road trips and I just put it to use. It started looking pretty ratty IMO as it got used but figured what the heck. I recently acquired a cool little Deluxe System 20s and I’ve kind of babied it to keep it “clean”. This morning I dug out the Iora and was surprised how the wear had “taken” and figured it was now time to put a little Obsidian oil on it (and I think oiling previously would have been a mistake, so glad I didn’t). It is stunning, IMO, and every bit as pretty as the new, stained one. The 20s will be coddled no more! Here are a couple pics. The year old Iora looked just like the 20s in March of ‘22. Looking forward to how the little one will look come next St. Patrick’s Day.
