Smoking a bowl of Grannies 'Underwear Drawer' again also known to those of us in the know as Cannon Plug or the orgasmic Rose Geranium stuff that ghosts the crap out of any pipe old or new. My choice of tobacco incineration instrument this evening is a meerschaum H.C (Henri Comoy) meerschaum with gold band and amber stem. The pipe has had a rough old life and I am in two minds about it but it does smoke rather well so I guess for the moment it will be sticking around.

I almost spit my mouthful of water across the room when I read "Grannies Underwear drawer." Is that really a slang term for it??? Hilarious.

The old meer is waaaay cool. Any idea at it's year of birth??

@Choatecav: Probably pre-1900. Looking at its general layout I would say it is from sometime in the mid-1890s and almost certainly not later than before WW1. What is interesting I was unaware the H.C made any meerschaum pipes but a Comoy expert on here assures me they actually did so what do I know. To paraphrase Oddball from the movie 'Kelly's Heroes' I just smoke the things!
