That sort of resembles a WDC Wellington, but it’s a Dutch Billiard!

Congratulations on finding one!
It is a WDC Wellington. Dutch Billiard is the shape of the bowl. This is the model of pipe that Lee Van Cleef smoked in the last of the Dollar Trilogies. These are very difficult pipes to find. Lee's was a dark stained reddish smooth finish. This one has a light sandblast. That said, it is in immaculate condition. Even better, I snagged it for $30 on eBay. Generally, the bidding on these pipes gets crazy and I don't participate for that reason. I now have both the LVC meerschaum modeled after A Few Dollars More and this one.

Such a cool pipe and what a steal!

I'm always in a doom metal mood! That's awesome! I haven't really listened to Graveyard so I'll give it a try. I'm more into the gothic side of doom metal than the stoner side myself, but I do still like bands like Electric Wizard, etc. Hey, speaking of doom metal, one of my favorite acts right now is Godthrymm. It features Hamish, who used to be in My Dying Bride, as the songwriter, vocalist and lead guitarist. They've got clean vocals that probably cater to more folks than the death metal-type vocals.

Well I did post a Graveyard song in the WAYLT thread in the Gen discussion area :)

Some ‘18 Kendal Plug opened a week or so ago to find the bag compromised and the plug a dry brick. Chopped about an inch off and split that up to monitor rehydration.
This is some of the hacked off part and it’s almost just right, so I’d say the whole plug will get another week of terracotta treatment.
Smoking it in the Ropp J04 hoping to get framing on the chicken run done, and maybe some tin on top before the last rain of this system rolls through in the late afternoon.
A pouch of Ryback+TS20 is in my pocket to provide reloads.IMG_4051.jpeg
