I love my Crowns. I have 6. Excellent beaters, every day pipes. At least two of them would in my 5 desert island pipes if I had to choose, no lie. I have 100 dollar pipes that don't smoke as good as some of these 35 dollar Crowns.

Started the day with a cob full of Crooner that I finished on the drive home from work. Now smoking Davidoff Flake Medallions in a Barclay Rex basket pipe.

And now I’m smoking Mick McQuaid plug in my F&T “The Clay Shape Pipe”.

Another way to do it would be to re-purpose a bookcase and fill it with Decatur Industries or other pipe racks which if nothing else cuts down on time spent dusting ...

Laurel Heights in a birth-year Dunhill stacked billiard. The cold front came through and cooled us down to 65 degrees this afternoon. Good smoking weather on the back porch.

MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired in this Brad Pohlmann
@samuelgawith01 I enjoyed the Old Dark Fired in my clay pipes; it seems well suited to clays. Smoked some Condor in mine today.
Yes, big fan too
Regarding the churchwarden he smoked in the series: information courtesy Pipedia
"Steve Waddell a highly respected pipe maker from Marion, IOWA, is now retired for health reasons. He made good freehands as well as exotic and sculpted pipes. Steve won various prizes at USA pipe shows, with the highlights being "Best Pipe Maker" at the Chicago Pipe Collector's Exhibition 1986, and "Most Unique Pipe", at the Pipe Collectors International 1987, and in 1981, was awarded the Certificate of Merit by the Confrérîe des Maîtres-Pipers de Saint-Claude.
In 1989 he made a churchwarden, which the actor Jeremy Brett used in the Granada Television series Sherlock Holmes, and which had been commissioned through the Pipesmoker's Council, England. He worked with Greek briar and signed some pipes."
Regarding bent pipes - a shape we now associate with the character more than any other - we can 'blame' William Gillette for starting the fashion which was for entirely practical reasons.
Gillette played Holmes on stage and in a 1916 silent movie thought lost until found in 2014

I really like that pipe, the color and way it’s stained plus the wave grain and wavy lines in the stem go so well together. Reminds me of watching the ripples in the water after a fish jumps.
Thank you! Of the three I own this one is my favorite. Smokes great also.
Lot of driving this evening, so a bowl of Dark Birds Eye and a bowl of MacBaren London Burley.
