Roger that,Backwoods.I like the smoking/Whiskey enclosures you have for outdoor lighting up.

It’s a work in progress, I keep adding to it. pipe smokers have to improvise to improve our experience. Thank you

I've been working on this Nate King meerschaum prince since June/July and finally waxed it for the first time last week. It's really picking up some colors. Keepin' it smokey tonight with some Esoterica St. Ives:

Some Wilke chocolate in a MM Gent. I tend to enjoy a strong tobacco then go to a sweet and mild. Good contrast.

L.O. DE LUXE (Louis ORLIK, London - briar pipe maker) MADE IN ENGLAND on the shank
LO stamped on the band with marks for London 1921
Label inside the case reads L.O. DE LUXE

As for the stem: I've compared it to a Falcon style pipe from the 1920s with a Redmanol body and my feeling is that the Orlik is amber not Redmanol.

@virkia Your pipes are mounted by Inderwick. Whether <BC> is an Inderwick make or not remains unknown.

If you have other hallmarks you want to identify please let me know. I have the London book with me for the duration of the holidays. I'm going to spend a few days identifying my own mystery hallmarks here. Cheers!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, filet mignon, mushrooms and green beans dinner with strawberries and pineapple for dessert. Now smoking a freshly opened tin of year 2013 Capstan Blue in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend black sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. I was going to smoke a heavier blend in this great new-to-me pipe, but I changed my mind. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Elizabethan mixture in a corn cob. Merry Christmas to all my brothers of the briar. I’m counting my blessings and this forum is one of them.
