After the session with a friend getting his iPad Pro and his iPhone 5s synchronized and updated with IOS 10.3.2 I decided a celebratory smoke was in order.
I chose this old Irwin S. Cobb that had to have been a direct competitor to MM's Radio. While a good looking, and smoking, pipe you can see the shank is ink stamped to simulate it being made from a corn cob and the band is brass that has been chrome plated. The bottom of the wooden plug is more egg shaped than the nicely rounded bottom of the Radio.
Filled with Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls and keeping it smokey.

The Radio looks a little more snappy, but this one has a pleasing broken-in look. I am a sucker for a pipe that looks like it's lived.
