I agree. That's a big reason that I like the 4ABs, too. Btw, you as well as your lady may be interested in seeing the 309 that I have:

Your 309 is spectacular. My partner was not interested, unfortunately.

Does this 309 have a metal chimney? If so, do you always unscrew it to clean it after smokes?

Did a little low calorie snacking, and am smoking Ken Byron Ventures Mr. Christian’s Brown Flek 2021 in a 1984 smooth brown full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Now smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a late '80s, early 90s small bend medium brown smooth, unbranded Nording pot with a couple of small rusticated spots, an amber colored acrylic ferrule and tapered stem in the military mount style.

Here's Shy Orange Tabby when he was six weeks old, followed by a photo taken last week by his owner. His name is Ringo and he's now just over four and a half months old. He certainly has changed in such a short time.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a smooth medium bend terracotta Peterson POY 2023 X160 464/1100 military mount egg with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Daisy the Feral Princess finally wanted to come inside and eat even though I had to pick her to get that done. She's on her blanket now. Fed Harry the Hairy, and didn't see the others. Almost finished reading baseball box scores.

condorlover1 and xrundog,
I wrote an article about the A.D.P. pipe in the Sherlock Holmes story "Silver Blaze" and of its relation to Adolph Posener, that appeared in the Spring 2019 Baker Street Journal and in the April 2020 The Pipe Collector. Here is an excerpt that will help answer your question:
"Adolph Posener and his brother, David, opened a tobacconist’s shop in East London, at 61 & 61½ Mansell Street, in the 1860s, and sold meerschaum, clay and briar wood pipes with the A.D.P. logo. This trademark used the initials for Adolph David Posener. (Adolph’s middle name was also David. But, I surmise, that originally, the D was included to indicate his brother’s name, as, after David left the partnership in 1877, the pipes began carrying an A.P. hallmarking stamp on the silver ferrule bands. However, they continued to carry the A.D.P. oval logo, stamped on the pipe’s wooden shank, and in the A. Posener & Co. advertisements.)
Adolph Posener was born August 26, 1837, in Zerków, Poznan, Poland. He emigrated to England in 1860, and died in 1922, in London."

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. That'll do it for me today. Just fed Tomato the Brave, and gave Harry the Hairy a little more dry food. Sleepy Suzy is eating now.

Once I get in the truck, I’ll be having some of this in a Briarlee-Three Sails/C&D DFK/Sutliff 507-S that I mixed up last week, and vacuum sealed to better mingle the flavors.

Our dogs did not have a good night, we had training thunderstorms all night. In true desert monsoon fashion, areas within 20 miles of us received .5-1.5” of rain, but we only got spit on hard briefly a couple times. Constant wind, thunder and lightning since 9pm though.
