Another bowl of Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Peterson bent Aran.
PS Luxury Navy Flake in a Horse head Marxman.
These were $5 when new, in a choice of carvings. They each were individually hand made and hand carved on a bench.
Marx used a putty for fill that colored along with the pipe. Look below the horse head and in front of his neck, and there’s a huge putty fill that’s turned the same reddish brown as the pipe. This pipe was unstained new.

Met some friends at Sturman’s Cigar this afternoon and had a wonderful time visiting and enjoying some ES 4th Generation,Evening Flake in the Briar Works Black-Blasted Zulu.
Gawith Hoggarth’s Dark Birds Eye in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Tomato the Brave showed up a few minutes ago, hungry as usual.
Laid out some Sam's Flake to dry a bit before loading in my BriarWorks 10th Anniversary Blasted Zulu. Wife caught some nice photos this afternoon between rain showers--my smoke shack/screen porch/catio is there at the right (west end) of the house. In a window you can see me loading some Shepherd's Pie at the time.

Thanks Paul. He’s fine, but dusk into nighttime they’re pretty common now. I do have some old clubs I could re-purpose. Good tip.
love this pipe! shape, size, blast, color... Nice one!
I feel some kind of spiritual something every time you post this pipe.. Spectacular. LOVE. IT.HU Scotney in my Suhr dublin.
That's an interesting figurine. Have been meaning to ask what it is and where you got it.
A pinch of PS Luxury Navy Flake (less than a flake) in one of my El Morjane Algerian made $10 pipes.
These pipes have small chambers, are crudely made, and are puke ugly.
But they were made of the real coin mountain grown Algerian brair. They’ve aged for over fifty years now since the revolutionary government had these made up.
The do gooders ought to have them put warning labels on Algerian briar pipes.
If you like the taste, you’re hooked.
