Puffing on some Boswell’s Piper’s Pleasure in my Boswell pipe. I have glasses of water and iced tea next to me. Busy day but it’s time to relax now.

@FurCoat Do you think it would suit the King's Clay?

Good weekend and pipes to all! Found some old Lane blends from a decade past so decided to embark on a bit of a reacquaintance tour today, starting with BCA followed by HGL, then Crown Achievement and finally Medal of Valor. Quickly dumped each of the first three mid-bowl. But Medal of Valor was a rather nice smoke.

Now smoking Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a straight brown sandblasted post-WWII family era Sasieni “Canadian” London Made with a sterling silver band with a tapered black vulcanite twin bore stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Thanks man. It’s the 207 shape from the Savinelli tre rusticated line. They’re my favorite briar pipes. Rossi sells the same shape (8207) in their Notte line. They might sell it in their Sera line as well but I don’t smoke filtered pipes and the draw is just too open for me without the filter. I got this one during that July 4th sale for 15% off. $85 was just too good of a deal to pass up for a brand new Savinelli.

Here’s my small Savinelli tre rusticated collection:

From left to right shape numbers: 626, 104, 207

EDIT: I seem to remember that you prefer vulcanite stems and these are all acrylic stems in this line.

good catch, a quick spin on SPcom’s pipe locator is only showing Picollo and Rubino Antico’s as vulcanite, neither line having a shape for me currently.
“Unnecessary” PAD expenditure narrowly averted!!

Three days in the noodle press made a 50/50 of Match Victorian and Winchester into a nice crumble cake that’s held its shape well for over two months.
Makes a nice “pinch off a chunk, stuff it in the bowl and fire it up” no muss/no fuss blend.
I’ll be making more down the road.

Both of those blends are fantastic on their own. Winchester is one of probably 4-5 blends that could satisfy me if it was all I had to smoke.
