Smoking a bowl of very finely sliced and diced brown twist in a meerschaum 'cutty' before I tackle dinner of beans and some form of protein. I will not bother to post a picture of the pipe since they all look the same! Lol
Onto the next bowl - well-rubbed out Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls
In the 2nd horn-stemmed Bulldog. This is again French-made - stamped WHC in an oval over France on the shank. Silver hallmarks but I've been unable to garner any information. No date letter.
This estate was in a poor condition when I got it - the bowl had been over-reamed with thin walls and a thin base. JB Weld followed by several layers of pipe mud, and allowing a thin cake to build up has it smoking really well now.

I’m addition to some cool tobacco samples, the same very generous forum member sent me this little Rattray’s Misfit! Enjoying a tasty house blend from The Pipe Shop in Akron that is one of the samples on the Island of Misfit Toys that is my garage - thanks!!!View attachment 130049
