Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

It took a long time to find a pipe to dedicate to this blend, but I finally found it. Having Cornell & Diehl Engine #382* in a Bavarian Hunter with deer art on the two porcelain portions, horn shank connector and genuine deer antler shank, and horn stem with an orific bit. No firm idea on the age, but it might be late 19th–early 20th Century given the stem material and orific bit—it certainly seemed like it had 100 years of inspissated** tobacco juice lining all the parts. Compared to cleaning that out, replacing the cork shank gasket was a piece of cake.

* A nod needs to go to @Chasing Embers for first making me aware of this blend.

** A tip of the hat to @OzPiper because he uses this word more than anyone else on the forum.

Jeff,
A nice addition to your collection of historical/vintage pipes and smoking memorabilia.
So pleased to see someone actually loading one of those up and setting fire to the contents rather than have it sit in a display case as a memento of a trip or visit to an antique fair
