You've made quick work of that puzzle.

Time enough for a smoke before evening feeding of the sheep.
Grabbed ‘Ol Grandpa Mac’s Signet straight Apple KW and some C&D Dec 21 Bright Virginia Ribbon.

2017 GLP Charing Cross in my new Peterson Sherlock Holmes Sandblasted Strand P-Lip. That's a mouthful. My first time smoking a P-Lip. I Like It! Sorry Harris.

That is a nice-looking pipe, sir.

Half way through this bowl of C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink for a while.

Is it possible that the signature is that of Ismail Baglan? He does a lot of pipes for Altinok.

I pulled out my magnifying glass, and think you are right. That looks like a "J" and not an "I" to me, though. The fella who gave me the pipe told me it was J. Boglon, and I just took his word for it. So, maybe it's not a SMS pipe after all? It was made in the 1980s.

Looks like the signature on my Baglan pipes.

He has done pipes for SMS, too. I’m not sure of the chronology, if any. Maybe he freelances and does pipes concurrently for multiple brands. I wonder if you could e-mail him and ask if he remembers.

Yes, it does. I just did a Google search and it matches what I saw.

I find it hard to stop smoking Anthology once I start. It is delicious tobacco. I'm going to have to exercise restraint as I only have two of the four tins I bought left.

The last of the pressed Haunted Woods in a Butz-choquin calabash, and a book and a beer.

Maybe. In the meantime, I thank you for the correction. I try to be accurate with my pipes and tobaccos.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of C&D Wintertime Reserve 2022: Ghost of Christmas Past in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This should get me to dinner time.

 

[Deano]

London Squire for my last bowl tonight.

 

[Akoni808]

Old Joe Krantz in a Peterson 313 silver spigot. I love the way this pipe smokes, but I haven’t noticed much of a difference with the “system” other than more cleaning to be done.
