A quarter of the way through this bowl of Stokkebye Highland Whiskey in a 2013 slight bend grain etched briar John Barrett Volcano with a walnut shank and a black plastic stem. Just about to quit work for the day. Suzy and Molly want to play and/or eat. Ya never know which with those two.

Last smoke of the day is Granger in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite stem. Watching Have Gun, Will Travel.

The 'new' pipe came out very nice nevadablue! Stinger pipes take patience, but I usually leave them if they're reasonably opened, or maybe tweak the holes on the ball end ones with a drill bit.
Smoking my Eaton cob using a modified Shire stem resulting is a 6.5 in. overall length, and still easily clenchable.

Carter Hall.

Made an once or two of a mix using equal parts C&D VA Flake, D&R Athey, then the same as both of D&R TwoTimer and a spritz of C&D perique that is tasting nice in a '54 1/2 bent shellbriar by dunhill.
