Almost finished smoking year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. I did finish a long set of walking reps. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2008 Dunhill 965 in an undated, unbranded made in Italy smooth, medium brown, medium bend egg with a nickel band on a black tapered vulcanite stem. Watching the 1971 All Star game on MLB TV. Going to hit the record button before long when I do another set of walks.

Inderwick & Co - the Pipes & Tobacco Specialist - was founded in 1797 by John Inderwick and was one of the earliest tobacconists in London. Their original shop was located on Wardour Street and their warehouse was situated 58 Prince's St, Leicester Square.
When they decided to sell their own brand of pipe they got some of the top pipe makers like Comoys to make them.
They incorporated on the 22nd October 1934 and the company was finally wound up in early 2000 and the shop at 45, Carnaby Street closed its doors as one of the last of the specialist pipe and pipe tobacco shops in the area.
They may have seemed out of place in the midst of the Carnaby St pop explosion but stayed put nevertheless, resisting several tempting offers on their lease throughout this period. The pop revolution actually enhanced their business rather than threaten it as curious Carnaby Street shoppers spilled off the busy pavement and ventured inside to buy their specialist tobacco blends, cigarettes and the long clay Churchwardens, Corncobs and Meerschaum pipes which they'd been selling for 170 years.

(Inderwicks was not one of my regular haunts but RIP the other nearby pipe shops I used to visit on a weekly basis - Charatan and Astleys in Jermyn Street, Sullivan Powell and H. Simmons in The Burlington Arcade, Fribourg & Treyer in The Haymarket, Bewlays in Piccadilly and G. Smith & Sons in Charing Cross Road).

Happy Saturday night everybody (from the mediterranean - southern Europe time zone). Now with the "Balkan Latakia" from the Czech company "Mostex-Stanislaw" in the Falcon. This blend together with "London Mixture" are really good and also value for money tobaccos, I think. I could surely suggest, if you visit Prague, give it a try. And drink beer!
Enjoy your bowls....

Thanks for sharing! ?

I found Mostex’s website and the Stanislaw blends;


Now the question is, can we get these in the USA? Hmm ?
