No, that was a very generous gift from a forum member. I keep it in Mylar inside the tin which is probably from the early 20thC.
I believe the earlier tins were canister shaped and the rectangular tins are from the 1920s/1930s.

One of the very first pipes I bought in my teens in the mid 1970s from a tobacconist in Preston, Lancashire (the nearest big town to my boarding school) - Savinelli Aged Briar - alongside a selection of typical mid '70s blends available everywhere:-

Beautiful evening on the deck. 80 degrees with a little breeze. Polished off a tasty crab cake and now smoking MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired in a Savinelli Estella 115 EX. Drinking beer with the wife, while listening to tunes and playing cards. Life is good!

My wife is out of town and this is the first day of the year with morning temps above 60f. Celebrating with french press coffee and war horse green in a hickory Busa out on the "patio".View attachment 78011

I just couldn’t resist, just messing around! ;)

So what are we suppose to deduce from this sentence boys? Hmm ?

When the wife is away the weather is good? Or when the cat is away, the mouse will play? ? ? LOL ?

Be well, happy puffing! ?

I’m finishing the evening with Nightcap in the new GBD?/mystery pipe, I just got another pipe (oval shanked Canadian sitter) of the same chap that sold me this one. Again it’s not marked in any way and has a few natural inclusions on the shank and bowl but they’re tiny and it’s beautiful grain more than makes up for it. It’s another possible GBD but to be honest I’m not concerned one way or another, a beautiful pipe is it’s own reward image.jpg

Earlier, I smoked year 2015 WarHorse Ready Cut in an undated straight sandblasted black Ropp Crystal billiard with a clear acrylic perspex saddle stem. Now, I'm smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue in a post 2007 Castello straight brown Sea Rock KK US made in Cantu (Kimo) apple with a tapered black acrylic stem. Still zooming.

Furst cigar on the patio this Spring. Its a Gispert Churchill - aged a box of them over 10 yrs now. I usually smoke them in the gazebo to the right in winter. Lunch was a ham and cheese grilled on my Weber. My drink is a Bloody Mary.View attachment 78042

I’ve never known anyone from Fargo ND, only the movie Fargo, boy was it good.

Stay warm and well! ?
