Earlier, it was Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in the second pipe I ever bought, a 1974 three quarter bend black sandblast etched Dr. Grabow Omega. Now, it's Light Heart Virginia in a 1983 three quarter bend medium brown Ascorti KS Business Dublin.
Earlier, it was Germain's Brown Flake in a mid-1970s black rusticated straight Savinelli Estella 915 KS. Now it's Angler's Dream in a 2013 medium bend Spillproof corndog cob.
