The Birds Eye on that pipe is awesome!

While I zoomed, I smoked:
Year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
Year 2021 Watch City Simply Orange Virginia in a black sandblast medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 182/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
And I'm not far from finishing this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend burgundy sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Dunhill Dark Flake in a Rubio Author.
Half way through this bowl of aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem.
Bayou Morning in a Walther Squashed Tomato
Now smoking Seattle Pipe Club Deception Pass plug in a smooth straight brown late 1930s Linkman’s Dr. Grabow Deluxe Bruyere 9703B pot with a nickel accent and a black tapered vulcanite stem. This will get me to dinner time.
KBV The Oriental Affair stuffed in to a Northern Briars Regal panel (group 1).
WCC 558 Flake in a Baglan claw and egg meer.
It's not bad, I certainly have better.
When I'm browsing pipes I'm on official birdseye patrol.
That particular Dunhill was brought along to a club meet one day by Jim Anderson (Lazarus Eatates). It checked my quick boxes for size, shape, weight, grain, condition - so I immediately claimed it.
It needed a thorough stem de-oxy, and luckily it took well to my micro pads.
GH & Co. Scotch Flake in my Graziano Tendi Dublin.
Reiner Gold Blend #71 in a Savinelli Bing’s Favorite. Maker’s Mark with a large, solitary berg. Cheers, friends!
Yet another bowl of Derriston. This time in a Peterson rusticated 317 with an acrylic fishtail stem. The post office should have my sack of Coniston Cut Plug and my tub of Half and Half. I decided to revisit this old codger blend to see what gives.
I remember following a guy for a few blocks in Manhattan 40 years ago because his pipe smelled so good. He sheepishly admitted that it was Half and Half! We’ll see if the new stuff measures up.
Have a good week, my friends!

Thanks for the back story on this one. In my opinion lava and oxidation are the estate buyers friends- as long as they aren’t hiding a really charred rim or pitted vulcanite. Dirty pipes sell for less and I’d rather clean them myself anyway.
Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls in a Savinelli churchwarden. Following a Mother's Day grill out of Beer Brats. Hey, no dishes, she requested it, and it is Wisconsin! Wife then suggested I go out to smoke a bowl while she finishes watching a Netflix Chickumentary.
I love this beautiful lady, mother to my 6 children. Happy Mother's day to all the mothers out there
