A frosty walk by the river with more Amph Original in the Morgan. I saw a kingfisher by the fishing boats, quite a rare bird around here. Now warming up with coffee, Kendal Jamaican flake in a Donegal Rocky Bulldog.

I've got some of that which I smoke in a Calabash dedicated to cherry blends.
That's a good idea but as I only smoke in my study nowadays while watching movies I find the decent capacity of the Calabash the perfect pipe for me.
That pipe looks amazing and so different to the Churchwarden, Alderman and Straws that I encountered in the UK.
Looks to me very much like a product of The Akron Smoking Co. namely, "The Powhatan"
Information comes from the Greater Pittsburgh Newspaper, September 17, 1992 about these pipe, "The pipes made by the company consist of hollow, clay bowls. A stem could be purchased separately probably for a few cents but many people economized by using pieces of cane for the stem.
The pipes originally sold for about 5 cents.
Akron Smoking Pipe Co. was founded around 1840 and manufactured about 25 styles of pipes and sold them to settlers, Indians and members of the Shaker community. The pipes were also shipped to Europe, as well as down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to buyers in Southern markets.
In the old days, Irish and Scottish women smoked pipes as well.
The plant burned down during the 1890's and the site was bulldozed over."
The finish and colour sure look very different to my Tanshell 'Zulu' from 1978:-Smoking a bowl of GH Kendal Dark in a small Dunhill Tanshell billiard.
Great poster, brings back memories!
Still nursing this bowl of GH&Co Dark Plug I started last night... Sheesh, I'm a baby when it comes to Auntie N, and this one is definitely a spanking!

My Tanshell has been smoked a lot; some areas on the bowl appear almost black. Unfortunately, one of its previous owners put wax on it and buffed it.

Greetings on a fine morning to all of you. To accompany my coffee I have selected some HH Burley Flake (I rubbed it out) in an MM Country Gentleman.
I missed out on these cobs back in 18. Seems like they come out every three years on average. Hopefully they will offer them this year.
I really enjoy reading the history of tobacco and pipes. Thanks for the posting vikira
Good morning! Watching the sunrise and smoking 50-50 5 brothers and burley morning pipe, in a Stanwell Majestic. I love mornings when I’m off work
