By the time i realized the GH drop was out Dark Flake Scented was sold out , It look very good . Cant go wrong with tonquin ? happy smoke !
Now that Laudisi is distributing Gawith Hoggarth, I am sure it won’t be long before there is another drop. Sign up for the notifications on SmokingPipes and other sites that do that, and you will have better luck. Also, when there is a drop, check out places like Boswells that charge a little more, but don’t get picked through as quickly

Sullivan Powell formerly of 34 Burlington Arcade, London W1 traded from 1880 to c.1995
Now at #34 instead of pipes, fine pipe tobaccos, cigars and fancy cigarettes etc. it's . . . fine shoes

Regarding the famous Peterson's 'System' pipe ...
20210227_161804.jpg
...a system that has stood the test of time more than any other and at over a hundred and thirty years later an example of a Peterson 'System' pipe will surely be found in every pipe collector/smoker's armoury

I figured with the bit configuration I can put a bite bit on it for clenching. $17.95 on eBay plus free shipping.
I’ve heard about the neutral taste and that is why I am so excited to finally get one.
Not seen that before - that fishtail bit on a clay is so cool . . . at least you won't end up like these poor guys

Well at least they had most of their teeth. A true wonder for those times. Part of the reason I chose this clay over all the others on eBay was the shape and glaze of the bit, and also the backstory of the artisan. Here it is:
This is a Beautiful Hand Made and hand painted Single Wall Clay Pipe with glazed mouth piece

This is white with a Scroll design on the side and a Blue glazed mouth piece

Overall Length 6"
Stem Length 4 1/2"
Bowl Diameter 3/4" Bowl Length 2".....Bowl Depth 1 1/2"

This has a great story....We met our neighbor quite a few years back, he is the original creator of the Barbie - and very talented, makes his own molds for dolls sculpures and even pipes.

He made these quite a few years ago, maybe back in 1970-1980

He turned 90 years young this year and asked us to help him sell his stuff

Sadly our neighbor has passed away on 12/10/18....RIP Tony

Enjoy this pipe as it is truly special and unique from a wonderful man and there will be no more made from him!

Search Anthony Bulone If you are interested in his story”​

I’m the kind of person that takes (unimportant) things at face value. Even if the backstory isn’t true, the pipe is still cool! Of course, not as cool as your clay collection; but then again, I’m sure that l am not as cool as you. In fact, I can guarantee it! ?

And coming from you, 3 Wow’s is a high compliment!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, filet mignon and asparagus dinner with strawberries for dessert. Now smoking Watch City Rhythm & Blues in an undated straight smooth brown Crosby Saint Andrews made in England “ Merchant Service-like Bing” with a silverish band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching an episode of the classic Perry Mason.
