Rattray's Wallace Flake in a Peterson Silver Mounted Army 106.
Just finished smoking Ken Byron Ventures Uzumaki in a 1970s slight bend Caminetto Business 134 poker with a pearl gold acrylic stem.
Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Old School Prototype in a medium bend black sandblasted IPSD 2016 Mark Tinsky book keeper 5 with a square shank and a black acrylic saddle stem with a cream colored accent.
Dunhill Bruyere 'Panelled Billiard' in a Group 2 size also from 1979 + AMPHORA FULL AROMA (I.T.C.):-
Still working on the back porch. Having some Sutliff Crumble Kake in my meerschaum poker. ?
Tabac Vincent Manil Semois- La Brumeuse in a Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root
I strongly recommend the Dan Pipe No Name 3. Is excellent for all day smoke and I buy it for 98euros the kilo from Germany. then I experiment by mixing it with more expensive tobacco. And it smokes nicely in my bent Peteron year pipe of the year 2000. I think my best Peterson.
Do you see differences between this pipe and more expensive Peterson's? Or we just pay for the sliver bands and the spigot nonsense?
KBV Byronic Slices in my wee little Barling Straight Grain Pot.
Five Brothers in a Missouri Meerschaum Mark Twain Bent pipe
Reloaded the Peacemaker pipe with another round of Sutliff Match Elizabethan. The peacemaker's thin bowl and aluminum shank are heating up a bit much letting me know I need to slow down a bit.
Smoking Mac Baren Vanilla Cream (loose cut) in an unfinished, bent MM Legend. ...just bought a beautiful pipe and some Mac Baren Dark Twist. My wife doesn't smoke but loves my pipe hobby, she made me buy this Kaywoodie Sabiatta..such an enabler lol. Hope you folks are having a delicious evening 
-cheers!

Not far from finishing this bowl of MacBaren Virginia Flake in a late '90s half smooth/half etched freehand sitter, medium bend Nielsen Viggo with a pearl brown acrylic stem.
MB HH Pure VA in a Viking Classic Dublin.
Most of the time, yes. In this particular case, the Limerick I was smoking truly smokes above its grade, which is why I smoke Stonehaven in it. Usually, the higher grades are better smokers with better grain (which doesn't affect the smoking quality of a pipe one way or another). I got very lucky with the Limerick.
As for silver bands and spigots, they are cosmetic, and do not affect your smoking experience, except fo the state of mind it puts you in. You're buying higher grade Petersons for better wood, which should mean a better smoke most/all of the time. If that doesn't happen, you don't get your money's worth, and the wood is the culprit.
I have a couple of Charatan seconds that smoke as well as higher grade firsts. These things just happen with all companies.
A third of the way through this bowl of D&R Penhooker Silver in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This will get me to dinner time.
