What's more in demand: these GameStop stocks or PS Luxury Bullseye Flake? ?

Couldn't afford such rare commodities so I'm settling for some Davidoff's "Luxury Bullseye Flake Match" in this Doctor's Bamboozled Brandy:

Jokes aside it's very similar to LBF, definitely scratches the same itch - delicious!

I used some Navy Rolls to beef out the last of my Germain’s Special Lat Flake. To compensate for possible Lat dilution I added some Kendal medium cut Lat to the mix. I’m using a 60’s Donegal Rocky Bulldog and I have just enough for another bowl which is a shame because it’s one of those one off things that you throw together that work out really well.

Close to finishing this bowl of Sept. 2015 Savinelli Doblone d’Oro in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.

Late 19th cent. (or earlier) BBB "THE HANDY"

Why there's no BBB stamp on the pipe is a mystery to me ...

... unless they felt the stamp inside the case was enough ...

What I take to be later examples of the cased THE HANDY pipe are on a single page from the reproduced 1912 BBB catalogue - photo courtesy Reborn Pipes - which advertises the pipes with stems made of either vulcanite or horn and uncased examples of THE HANDY on other pages with vulcanite stems only

The closest to my example that I've seen is this one from Worthpoint
