Damn nice pipe.

Peretti Royal in a Rossi Rubino Author with black coffee on the porch. Interesting blend and so far liking it... have to give it several more bowls before deciding how much.

Time for dessert. Enjoying some Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew in a CAO meer with another glass of Eagle Rare. My buddy Bill is smoking the same in a Strambach billiard I loaned him and having a bottle of Stella Artois midnight lager:

Now smoking WCC #558 in a 2013 Paolo Becker Morta Dublin. Quite happy and de-stressed after a day with friends Go-Cart racing, smoking and drinking away our 2020 blues. I can’t get any pictures to upload because of my location, but you get the picture....hopefully. Good night, gentlemen.

Yes I'm very happy to be among like-minded individuals here on this forum, many of whom I consider dear personal friends. I ought to add,and it's difficult to do sometimes as is the case with "SL" but it's a safe idea to research the name further just to add that little extra reassurance.

Now, about this current mark: these are quite small. Is it a London assay mark? The books are arranged by assay office. I own Chester, and Sheffield through 1907, and I walk a short walk from work to the University library to consult the London books. To my knowledge a Birmingham book has not been made. If it London I can take a little walk on Monday and report back. Cheers!

Edit: occasionally London firms will register in Chester and appear in the book but that was not the case this time. I'll reference the London edition on Monday, if those are in fact London marks. Can't quite make them out.

London marks for 1899.

Don't suppose you have anything on the pipe maker B.C ?

Would be over the moon if the silver marks are possible to identify as most of my B.C pipes have these marks and I have more pipes from this brand than any other.

Thank you again so much for being so helpful on S.L as I couldn't find anything via the usual channels.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, barramundi and asparagus dinner with a scoop of strawberry ice cream for dessert. I'm now smoking Watch City English/Ernie-ental in a full bend black pebble finish 2001 Rinaldo Lithos YY8 Titania Silver Line egg with a black acrylic tapered stem. Working on the review of the blend, which will be on sale Wednesday, December 30. Watching Alias Boston Blackie. Ice water and bergs is my dinner.

2018 Dorchester in my Boswell Jumbo XXX Natural/Rusticated Freehand with Plateau top and ebony saddle stem. This essentially a large....very large nosewarmer. Draw is wide open and flavor turned up to the max! Just opened tin number two 2020 Cringle Flake and have two meaty flakes drying to smoke later!

Some Wilke Lizzie blood in my trusty Randy Wiley Galleon hand made 02. A splash of green label left ( it’s an old pic.) to have with it. Enjoying catching up reading the forum. Closest thing to a pipe club I’ve ever experienced.

I let my new meer acclimate to room temp and broke her in with some Elizabethan Mixture. Everything is great with the pipe but a pipe cleaner doesn’t go all the way through. I think it’s because of the reverse calabash set-up. Other than that is a very nice meer that I look to see color up ?

P.S. I don’t wear gloves with my meers. It’s just damn cold in the garage ?
