I've got this same pipe, only difference is it's a 999 Army, so a round shank as a Rhodesian instead of the 80s. They'd make a nice pair side by side in the rack.

After a full day of heavy yard work, wifey and I relaxed with an Eel River Brewing Co. California Blonde Ale. Also along for the ride was a bowl of OGS in a Stefano rhodesian. An excellent way to unwind, 9.6/10

Germain’s B.K. Flake In a 1967 - 1969 Dr. Grabow Commodore 65 Zulu, with a metal screw in tenon, stinger removed, and a Vulcanite stem.
Be well everyone!

Passing the half way mark of this bowl of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. I may end the day with this smoke.
Thank ya! Definitely just stamped beef hide. I still find it visually appealing also.
Cracked open a new tin: HU dockworker. Wanted to see what this Burley forward blend had in store for me.
Apparently it has cardboard in store, im getting very very little flavour right now and this distinct flavour i also get from Semois (the only other Burley blend i've ever smoked).
I will smoke some more bowls in my different pipes this week, ill (hopefully) figure it out ...
Edit:near the end of this bowl, getting more flavour.

Rouxgaroux in the Briarlee Illustrious for commute this morning.
I may need to go “rouxgaroux” on a couple new hires without ending up in HR today…

Done with yard work for the day. Time for an after lunch pipe of HU Delight and tea. Its in a Paul Becker quarter bent billiard.
The price just went up a euro at Estervals. Who knows. Maybe they were just discontinuing it. I havent noticed prices going down when a popular blend is discontinued. Its on the best seller list at Estervals. Id be supirsed if they canceled it.

Late start this morning. A Fox woke me up late last night screaming & barking around the yard. We see them occasionally but to date never had one talking trash.

Going to try out some ‘13 Samuel Gawith 1792 DKF in the Short Army 102 this morning.
What a great trio, the picture, the pipe & the tobacco.
