Enjoyed the mild temperatures here in San Francisco with some 2 year old LBF in this meer. Not the most exciting blend in the world for me, but still pleasant.

Close to finishing this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem.
Now smoking year 2018 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.
Sutliff Estate in a DragonBriars Dublin.
Old Joe Krantz in a Randy Wiley bent brandy.
I’ve refrained from scratching that Latakia itch for fit a couple of weeks now, but I’ve got the house to myself for the evening…. Maltese Falcon in a Randy Wiley bent Rhodesian - life is pretty grand.

Mid 1980s DR. PLUMB REACEMAKER ENGLAND with Peacemaker Bulldog bowl (Rustic Burgundy)
+ Samuel Gawith BRACKEN FLAKE
The Dr. Plumb Peacemaker was cast in the south of England and has a removable vulcanite stem with an absorbent paper filter ring under the bowl.
Metal shanked pipes with interchangeable bowls have been popular since the 1930s/1940s as unlike conventional briar pipes these hybrid pipes were cheaper to make and could stretch the use of briar much further. During WWII briar was very difficult to source because it came from the coast of the Mediterranean. With the success of the American Falcon pipes, the Dr. Plumb/GBD factory started looking into their own metal bodied pipes.
Working off the same principle as the Falcon - the aluminium body acting like a car radiator cooling the smoke - with a chamber beneath the bowl that collected the condensed moisture and a paper filter which absorbed it keeping it away from the tobacco and the smoker.
The Peacemaker pipes were first released to selected retailer in the UK in the late 1950s after a lengthy dispute with Falcon Pipes.
