Sir Walter Raleigh regular in a Peterson slightly bent rusticated apple with wide nickel band. The pipe is the Kapet series, I'm not sure they make anymore. I'm getting the hang of SWR, when I want a low-key blend. I like the Aromatic version too; I have a tub of that.
First I saw this ...

“The Peterson Pipe” by Mark Irwin and Gary Malmberg - on the Kapet line
"Kapet (1925-1987) Line first described in the 1925 brochure and featured in occasional catalogues until 1987.
Early specimens will be stamped IRISH over FREE STATE.
Described in the 1937 catalogue as available in dark plum or natural finish.
Featured an aluminum “inner tube” or stinger until 1945.
Mid-century specimens may be stamped MADE IN over IRELAND."

... but then I saw that the Kapet is still available (so still being made?) although the finish looks quite different:-
So, from nut brown in the mid 1970s to 'Natural' to 'Rustic' in the 2020s.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with a small scoop of French vanilla ice cream for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2015 Strang in a 2003 smooth light brown medium bend straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin and a black acrylic saddle stem. El Salvador Dali, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-Phillies game.
