Absolutely gorgeous pipe! Thanks for showing it. I don’t think anyone is making bullcaps other than Mike Billington of Blakemar Briars. I also think that pipe would like some Rich Dark Honeydew stuffed in it!Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and am smoking C&D Virginia Flake in straight medium brown 1922-1937 Irish Free State era Peterson 222 bullcap with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. This time smoking this pipe. Sure has been hard deciding on what to smoke in it. I just knew it wouldn't be a Virginia with much or any topping. Not going to smoke something scented or heavily topped in a pipe this old. I can do that with a lot of other pipes. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

awesome mug!
Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, that blend would do well in it, but I don't have any of it, and would prefer something less flavored in it so I can take full advantage of what old wood does for tobacco.Absolutely gorgeous pipe!
