Now smoking year 2016 Orlik Golden Sliced in an early 20th century Gordon Special Bruyere 49 apple with a triangular shank and black vulcanite stem. I wonder how long the original owner smoked it, and how many people smoked before me?

St-Bruno Ready Rubbed into a Cutty Meer .
Pleasantly surprised to get through the day (and week)’s work earlier than expected. Starting the long holiday weekend off with a Pete House pipe full of Kramer’s Father Dempsey.
I hope everyone celebrating Thanksgiving has a wonderful holiday. And those elsewhere — hope you have good weekends.

Trying some Sugar Bucket in my Hilson Europe billiard.
I’m smoking WCC Flake #558 in a cob and sipping sweet tea. This will probably be my only smoke of the day. Have a good evening all.

Currently smoking some 3P's from one of the two mysterious unmarked beauties I got on eBay over a year ago. This pipe, and the other I got, came from a single estate of around ~12 homemade pipes. I saw all of them, and they were all strikingly beautiful. Quality briar, no fills, all straight grain, nicely stained, and very well carved... and not a single mark or stamp anywhere on them. I don't know who made them, if the guy was a professional pipemaker or if it was just a hobby for him... but they've become 2 of my favorite pipes since then. On top of everything, they're great smokers too. I wish I could have bought the whole lot.
The first pic with the green stem is the original auction picture. The second pic I just took, the stem is black after cleaning.

I always wonder the same thing with estate pipes... especially very old ones. It could have been someone's favorite pipe; or played an important part in some aspect of their life. It also makes me realize that we're just temporary custodians of "our" pipes for a short time.
