Thanks to the kind heart and generosity of @ashdigger 
I’m smoking Wilke’s 515, because this blend seemed so fitting to the Era in a 1st Generation Kaywoodie KB&B (1919-1924) - Dublin shape, with Vulcanite stem and inner tube. The only marking on the pipe, besides the name, clover leaf, and silver hallmarks, is D-3 on the shank.
The puffs are like cooled down air coming into my mouth, I guess it has to do with the inner tube and stem. I’ve never experienced this, or a cooler smoke before.
The first few puffs are absolutely amazing, I’ve been blessed @ashdigger ?
Be well everyone!
P.S. I almost forgot, here’s the first bowl with the Wilke’s 515.

Pease Samarra in a Tom Eltang rusticated cherrywood with an Amalfi backdrop.
Just finished a bowl of Sutliff Maple Walnut in a Ducca Carlo on this cool summer evening. Dark red wine to go with it.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, snapper and sugar snap peas dinner with two more big slices of m'lady's cinnamon raisin apple pie and a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. That's all of the off-dieting I'm doing for the rest of the day. I'm just passing the half way mark on this bowl of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching chapter three of Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe.
Been a really long day, got several cobs in while I was out on the tractor... currently sitting out back watching the sunset with the pups & enjoying a bowl of Presbyterian in a Peterson 107 and a glass of Jameson.
A blend of my own creation, two parts Peterson Sherlock Holmes, one part Granger. I call it "Sherlock's Dog." Trademark pending.
The cooler weather (mid 50s at the moment) has allowed me a longer smoke, so I'm further breaking in the Stefano bent rhodesian I got earlier this month.
Bird report: Common raven, Mountain chickadee, White-breasted nuthatch, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, California towhee, House finch, Northern flicker, and various unseen sparrows. Broccoli, mushroom and cheddar quiche on the menu for tonight. Going to re-watch the Australian film The Last Wave (1977).
Very happy to hear of the on-time start of the monsoon rains in Arizona and New Mexico. ?️?
