Late 1970s Peterson's Dublin / Made in The Republic of Ireland / Belgique + Petersons SWEET KILLARNEY and CONNOISSEUR'S CHOICE:-


Forward leaning and bulbous in the middle the almost tulip-shaped bowl on a thin stem has a lot in common with early 20th Century meerschaums (and 17th Century clays) although, as can be seen below, briars of the early 20th Century were also made with similar shaped bowls:-

Dried Lane Limited LL-7 a little more and used Air Pocket packing method in my Dr. Grabow Royalton. It made a lot of difference. Enjoying the smoke much more this way.

Condor Plug circa 2010 in yet another meerschaum 'cutty' pipe. I have not bothered to post a picture as all my pipes look the same and it must get a little boring looking at the same shape of pipe every day!

How do you like it? On my “to try” list.

A rare evening bowl. Had my first try of Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia. The first third of the bowl was okay, but once the flavors kicked in I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of flavor. No rough edges at all, burned cool and developed more Virginia flavors as the bowl progressed. If the next few bowls are this good, I can see myself adding a nice quantity to my cellar.
