The next of the pair of oldies is a 1914 Leeds / family era Ben Wade taper stemmed, straight apple/billiard.
Hallmarked HW over EW. Fortunately the hallmarks are a bit more distinct than the stampings.

Well, finally the long-awaited parcel arrived. Master and wizard of briar. A long procedure of smoking the pipe is ahead. Mario Pascucci - P Rust - 2127 (no filter) C&D Bluegrass.

Finished a bowl of 1792 Flake, now following up with a bowl of 1792 Flake, before dinner.

After dinner I'm thinking a bowl of 1792 Flake.

1792 Flake. It's the ducks nuts.

That's a beautiful new acquisition. May it be a reliable companion for many years.

I attended our Chicago Pipe Collectors Club meeting this Saturday afternoon and evening. It was a great turnout of the "usual suspects" men and women club members. There was much talk about the plans for the coming show. I smoked my large 1997 Steve Weiner bent tomato filled with "Dino's Mixture" (Full Virginia Flake, University Flake, Syrian Latakia, 55-year-old Mahalla, and a pinch of Samovar). I also sipped some Macallan 12 that my friend Jesus brought for the group to share. A wonderful time was had by all.

Went snowshoeing at Ponderosa State Park and ended up next to the lake. After looking at it for a few minutes, my wife asked me if I brought the pipe. Of course I did, so we sat on a nearby picnic table that didn’t have snow on it and shared one together. She told me I should take a picture for my forum (with her holding the pipe), and then she took a picture of me smoking as well. She’s very thoughtful like that, and even edited the photo of me. A nice afternoon together.
