It does look nice. Its made of briar and stained und I guess a clear coat to finish it up. It's basically a basket pipe and nothing special. I use it to Aeros.

year 2017 Barbary Coast / Peterson Aran 150. Not getting much flavor from this.

Cigar Time: Trinidad Espiritu Series No 3
Smoking now some random mix of various mixtures, in the loooooong Old Vic pipe.
Wanted to say something but not start a thread cause I think it probably has been discussed again (and again). Sometimes I use to make a few draws from a pipe I have not lighted up yet. And does this ("smoking" unburned tobacco) gives me some kind of strange satisfaction? Yes, it does! Do you do this sometimes?
Wish you a nice Thursday (morning, noon, evening, night) good people!

- Yes, I do. It's rather like smelling a nice glass of whisky or wine, or food on a plate, before you taste it. With pipes, it also has a practical use as a last-minute test that no stray crumb of tobacco has blocked the chamber airway. Have a good what's left of Thursday evening, over there in Athens

Stay safe out there and good luck to everyone else out that way as well.
The black and white really adds something to the photo.
Started this cold morning with a coffee and a bowl of HH BK in my 1964 251 root billiard....
Then after blowing some snow off my driveways I enjoyed a bowl of HH BF in my 1969 253 root billiard.
Ravenwood Eleventh Day of Christmas in the Sven Knudsen billiard.
This fine morning I’m splitting wood in prep for winter as I’m expecting a cold one. Smoking some SPC Plum Pud in a cob as I do so with a Yeti full of coffee sitting on the post.
Lee Van Cleef with a bowl of Ennerdale. Awning retracted due to the Santa Ana Winds.
A bowl of Paladin Black Cherry in a Missouri Meerschaum Legend chore cob, while playing in the woodpile. I really didn't care for this blend when I first tried it fresh, but it seems to have mellowed out in a few months and actually smokes pretty darn good. I'm starting to get why these "codger/OTC blends" have been so popular over the years.
