Last bowl of this beautiful day now slipping into evening.
G.L. Pease Abingdon in my double red dot Blatter & Blatter bent Dublin
Good night all.

If that stem were an inch/inch-and-a-half longer and with a slightly more pronounced bend I'd say that pipe would be even more perfect.G.L. Pease 3 Oaks Syrian in my Rick Boquist (Rusty Nails Briar) commission pipe.

The Dunhill stem is called brindled vulcanite and is apparently available in six limited edition colours introduced in 2020 and looks to be related to the Cumberland stem.
(The name "Cumberland" derives from the fact that the finish was inspired by old Root Briar pipes found in a warehouse in London in Cumberland Road)
... and is maybe the same material used here?
When horn has markings they tends to be more random and less regular such as on this Dunhill with horn stem from 2006 ...
... and this one from 2002
Opened a tin of year 2014 Astley’s No. 44, and am smoking it in a smooth slight bend dark brown 1940s-1950s Comoy’s Blue Riband 228C prince with a tapered black vulcanite stem. First time smoking this new-to-me estate pipe. I've wanted a Blue Riband for a long time, and I am lucky to own it. I'm a quarter of the way through the bowl.

Other than starting with The Amphora Burley, it's been Wessex Burley Slices all day.
Country Bladesmith,
Thank you Sir!
Just finished a Chicago Pipe Club meeting (I was on ZOOM, all the others were at the Arlington Pipe & Cigar Lounge).
Earlier this afternoon I met with all my Saturday ZOOM friends, and popped a tin of 2015 Samovar to fill my 2000 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Smooth Red Strand.
The hot and humid weather called for my usual Peach/Mango Green Tea with lotsa bergs and a splash of Honey Jack.

Rattray’s Exotic Passion in a Savinelli Punto Oro Mr G
Peterson Royal Yacht in a straight rusticated Savinelli Venere apple I won in a pipes magazine SP cartoon caption contest probably six years ago, always an enjoyable pipe. With the pipe, I also won an orange Savinelli t-shirt I still wear regularly.
Thanks for the kind words, Backwoods.
Just finished another load of Savinelli Jupiter in a 9mm Lorenzo cross grain Billiard with saddle bit.
Solani Aged Burley Flake in a Savinelli Punto Oro Super 623 bent bulldog
About to light some 2015 Peacehaven in a Altinay translucent meer. This will be the first smoke for the pipe and I look forward to watching it color.
That's good to hear I'm looking forward to this blend with some more age and melding!
Decided to treat myself. 2012 Blakeney's Best Bayou Flake in the amazing Nuttens Bing with Cumberland stem. Outstanding.
A quarter of a bowl left of year 2013 Solani 633 in a 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem.
Next up will be some 2005 Solani Silver Flake in the Altinay translucent meer.
hi, no on my pipe it is not horn, it is an acrylic similar horn.
In fact, I personally do not like the horn in the mouthpieces, I have only had two pipes with horn mouthpieces and they did not last long, I got rid of them immediately, I do not find it pleasant, the first one I had, even gave a very strong taste to the smoke when the tobacco was already a little hot.
