Going to have
@Humblepipe ’s Firefly*, a Virginia Perique, with Orientals, and a touch of Stokkebye Black, topped with Jack Daniels and cellared for one year, in an Unknown NOS French, All Briar Billiard with orific bit. The only stamp is “FRANCE” on the right side. I have no idea if this is from the late 19th Century, or Early–Mid 20th Century, but, it’s a cool little pipe. Unfortunately, the largest of original, poorly matched, soft fills fell out on the right side when wiping the pipe down. I filled the voids with some briar dust mixed with medium viscosity, amber coloured cyanoacrylate—the new fills match a bit better, albeit with a bit of dark haloing here and there that’s slightly distracting—I’d have preferred to keep it 100% original, obvious, bad fills, warts and all.
