Just finished smoking D&R Ryback in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Time for an apple!

A quarter of the way through this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Working and listening to The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show on the XM.
After work I've been smoking Rattray's Old Gowrie. Now enjoying my goodnight smoke of GLP Westminster.
Just finished smoking Wilke Sweet Street in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic saddle stem.
Now smoking D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a black tapered vulcanite stem. More Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Some kind of floral/leaf pattern. The silver work was from an old German pipe from the 1880’s, or so I was told. Not sure who actually added the silver work or if was coordinated with Ashton. There were a few others like it a while back at Pipes2Smoke.
Back to the basics, Morning smoke of Amphora Red Full in a Stanwell Golden Danish Model 29 medium size billiard
Good morning folks. We continue smoking with. C&D Blockade Runner, in corn pipe Carolina Gent.........................I wish you a happy weekend..............
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am part way through this bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
I smoked a bowl of Dino's Balkan Blend (McClelland's 5100, Syrian Latakia, Oriental and D&R's Yenidje) in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes 1987 Original, as I chatted with my Chicago pipe buddies.
Just finished work, and this bowl of Low Country Pipe & Cigar Natural Virginia & Burley in a 2020 straight black sandblasted Merchant Service “Bing” Standard with a nickel band and black vulcanite tapered stem.
Since I'm not sleepy, I'm smoking Prince Albert in a 2020 smooth light brown, slight bent J. Everett straight grain chubby author with a spalted birch ferrule and a black saddle vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Good morning bowl of Gold Block in a general with coffee,happy Friday.
I hope you got two stems with that?
That’s weird, the M on top looks like it’s from the 1980’s but it’s obviously earlier and the letter underneath looks 1950’s (maybe). Neither letter really corresponds with the pipes date and that date stamp shouldn’t have left the assay office in Birmingham like that. It’s a real puzzle but If I had to guess I’d say 1911. Apparently amber becomes very brittle so I wouldn’t clench if you can help it. Beautiful pipe regardless.
Mine is hinged too, and like you say heavier than it looks. The back panel is slightly warped giving it a bit of a stoop but the detail makes up for it. On another note you were absolutely right about that Goede Waagen Pipe, it’s clay fired to look like meerschaum, I thought it was rather heavy for a meer and harder.
Thanks for the recommendation, I looked at Sillem Black when I put my last SP order in but I believe they were out of it. Next time..I always like to smoke something different, depending on mood, but typically I like sweeter English, that have more flavor profiles than just smoke and wood.
If you haven’t tried Sillem’s Black, this is really nice, and I do mean Sillem’s not Johnny Aylesbury Black.
The tin I have, has some really interesting flavors going on, different from any English/Balkan I’ve smoked.
