Relaxing after a wonderful salad, French cut pork chops and black beans dinner with a small scoop of strawberry ice cream for dessert. I'm just passing the quarter mark on this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Mr. Christian’s Sticky Pudding in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer billiard with a black ferrule and vulcanite stem in the military mount style. This pipe has always smoked like a frontline meer since I bought it for $5.95 over 46 years old. Working on a review of this blend. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
What is RDF?
Duuuuuh. Rich Dark Flake. I have some in one of the bins in Indiana. I'll see if I can find it when we go back for Thanksgiving.
Half & Half with Kendal Dark into a cob , i was reading some MM reviews on smokingpipes for the sake of it and found this guy review;
This is my first corn cob pipe but it didn’t last very long. The bottom got burnt out after 4 or 5 smoke. Also the stem protrudes inside the bowl and gets burnt. I think this is my first and last corn cob pipe.
What’s your theory with this guy ? Flamethrower? Blowtorch ? Lava ? ?

You could be right as the only other pipe I've got with the AFC stamp is a Morell Mackenzie
(Sir Morell Mackenzie was involved with BBB)
"Quote from a paper on BBB pipes by Jacques Cole:
“Probably one of the first filter pipes (paper filter) was the BBB "Sir Morell Mackenzie". That this pipe was made before 1900 is shown by a letter dated August 27, 1891 from Sir Morell Mackenzie regarding these models with longer mouthpieces. The brand survived into the 1960s.”
... but the difference is that this one has stops between the letters
From the Harrods 1895 catalogue
GH&Co Rum Flake in an unknown Danish Freehand.
Captain Earle's Nightwatch in a Savinelli 111KS Roma.
HU Tobacco's Makhuwa with a splash of Old Joe Krantz brown label in a Lorenzo 9mm cross grain saddle bit billiard.Yes,there's a filter in there.
Yes, apart from the absent "CP", when the Charatan stems have a saddle all those I've come across have more of a 90% angle to the drop ...Don’t know a lot about Charatan, and I believe this is a replacement stem. Smokes great though. ?️
