Day off today, it is the Friday before Easter, the Good Friday. In a while, church bells will start to sound mournfully throughout the country, during all day.The death of the Lord...
Since there is more time, the smoking can last longer, the bowl can be bigger: Stanwell Melange in the MM corn cob General.
Also, the temperature is high for the season. I moved to the "summer office", at the veranda...
Stay well good people.

I have a Comoy canted Lovat or clay shaped briar that's very similar. Mystery how it missed nomenclature. The pipemaker may have pulled it from the line to keep for himself. Don't we often wish they could talk! Regardless, a BEAUTIFUL keeper.

Thank you and I couldn’t agree more.

 

[Birddog66]

Either nomenclature would suit . . . looks a bit similar to a GBD shape just going by this example:-

The canted tulip shape also seen in clay pipes from the Continent - in this case L. Fiolet of St. Omer - and meerschaums (Austria):-

The shape maybe not uncommon at the time - an unbranded example:-

Thank you, that does look very similar especially the stem. I tried to get the original owners name and position in the company to get as much provenance as possible but i’ve heard nothing so I’m a bit hesitant to actually call it a GBD yet.

 

[Birddog66]

Good morning everyone, it’s a beautiful day here, I’m starting with Peterson 2019 SR in the new pipe, it’s actually 7 3/4” or 196cm long but not unwieldy or awkward to smoke.
