Gawith Hoggarth’s Dark Birds Eye in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Now THAT'S another Canadian that I'd trade an Arm & a Leg for (!) .... beautiful sandblast .... although my "trade fodder" would actually be a BBB smooth Canadian. NOTE: Probably best if I kept the Arm & the Leg. : )
I'll bet Mr Steve at rebornpipes.com could do a "like new" restoration.Well, I was enjoying a nice bowl of Ennerdale Flake in my Peterson Junior Rusticated Billiard while out on a dog walk.

One unexpected tug of the leash later and wheeee, the pipe goes flying and there goes $85 when it hits the concrete.

That was the first and only time I've ever dropped a pipe, but I think the lesson to be learned here is that if I want to smoke a pipe while out walking then just bring an inexpensive cob. Thankfully the Peterson was a factory pipe and can be replaced, but I did really like that pipe so I'm still sad about the loss. From here on out it's cobs only for dog walking!
Balkan Supreme (Arango .... Stokkebye) is so good. My esteemed tobacconist recommended it, said it took awards at the Chicago Show in the past. This might be one I'll bring tomorrow night to Pipe Club.
