Starting the break in process on my new Peterson rusticated 301 fishtail with a bowl of Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky. So far, this is the only pipe I've put a softy bit on.
Enjoyed a tasty navel orange, and am part way through this bowl of Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a 2012 smooth reddish brown medium bend Peterson 03 Red Spray apple silver spigot with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem.
Now smoking Motzek M74 in a late 50s, early 60s Comoy’s straight smooth dark brown Deluxe 20 billiard with a silver cap military mount and a black vulcanite tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
You may ask how I knew it was he that bought them...
All I can say is that t'was nothing more than that small vertical black line on the front pipe bowl in photo #2 - and photo #4 - plus the time elapsed from the end of the auction with delivery from the U.K. to the U.S.
