Earlier had some BLWB (Burley Lite Without Bite) in a "Dublin System" stamped pipe. Haven't been able to find any information about this one anywhere online. Smokes great and has a very open draw compared to a Peterson System.View attachment 188888
That looks like it might be a Wellington. Check if it has this little triangle anywhere:

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Starting work on a Fox story for Archie. We're dong some super hero stories for the digests.

What brand pipe is that ? My favorite shape !
It's forth and newest in a set of annual Santa pipes made by J. Everett.

The shank accent is made of black ebonite, white juma, and deer antler.

The stems are multi piece and are made of black ebonite, white juma, and cumberland. A tamper was made for the set with the first pipe back in 2019.

I have a sealed tin, late 60s early 70s I believe. I wanted to open, rehydrate and smoke it, but I was told it would be like smoking paper. LOL 😆

So I’ve never opened it... 🤔

I have a full cardboard box of tins made between 1960–1963, complete with the original rolling papers, with the "PUSH UP" instructions on the front of the tins, 1 5/8 oz. weight, before the ZIP code was added (the 1963–1964 packaging)—they're all intact except one tin; I suspect you're better off smoking a new batch or something else. Empty vintage tins are easy to come by—ones with tobacco still intact are not—you have a rarity in your possession; if you crack it open, all you will have is a nice condition tin and disappointing smoke.
