I doubt about aftermarket band on this pipe. Part of the description from the highly trusted seller:
"UNSMOKED & PRISTINE 1960s (year number is covered by the AD STAMPED GOLD FERRULE, BUT THE OTHER MARKINGS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE 1960s) DUNHILL ROOT BRIAR R SHAPED CLASSIC POT SHAPED estate pipe."

But I don't know for sure. The pipe is like the day it was carved condition. That's what matters to me;)
I just don’t think they would cover markings with the original band, I could be totally wrong! 😂 nice pipe!

@didimauw I've been trying to find out how long I can make a clay pipe of baccy last; my best time since my attempts at the smoke-off with @Ahi Ka has been 24 minutes (with relighting, which would disqualify me from official competitions). I found the Black Irish X Twist hard to smoke; maybe I didn't dry it out enough or stuffed too much tobacco into the pipe so it didn't get the oxygen it needed to burn. I'm told it needs space between the fibres to burn properly...
Ohhhh now that makes sense. Yeah sounds too wet. Are all your clays roughly the same size?

Giving the meer a rest although I’m sure it doesn’t need it. Loaded some BMP into a 2015 Boswell spiral freehand with a spiral acrylic stem. This is the first pipe I ever bought. Got it new in 2015 before I started hiking the Appalachian Trail. Drying out some other tobacco for a long reading stint in the greenhouse on this 30F afternoon!
