Looks a nice pipe, I've only seen photos of black clay pipes!

That's because they're far rarer than white . . . and, yes, black pipes matter . . . and as for Detective Holmes smoking a true black clay the question has yet to be answered conclusively:-

Smoking Half and Half in a University Deluxe Billiard. Black coffee is what I'm drinking as I get ready for that thing coming on t.v. at 8, that I refuse to mention or discuss.

Back home after a wonderful afternoon with Mark Ryan at his plant. Got a great deal on a bunch of D&R blends, including the very last of the three Raccoon series and V.I.P. Smoked a bunch of tobacco while I was there. Just finished smoking D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Dinner is next.

I took a few day's off and this evening I'm celebrating the return of the feeling in my right lower lip and a clean bill of dental health with some 2019 C&D Carolina Red Flake in a Mastro Beraldi Partially Sandblasted Bent Dublin. I fine flake smoker with a crazy ghost face ring blast.

That is spectacular. ?

Kramer's A Blend for Cary Grant in a Savinelli bent pot. I've got a pound and a half of it cellared. Might not be enough, as it is 100% my go to nighttime can't make up my mind blend.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a wonderful salad, wild caught catfish and green beans dinner with a scoop of chocolate/vanilla ice cream for dessert. Now smoking very old W.D. & H.O. Wills VaPer Three Nuns in a 1980s White Pipe straight lattice apple meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Have enough for one more bowl. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Yankees-Rays game. Glad I recorded the other games from earlier today so I can check them out later. Going to be busy doing some tobacco cataloguing after my visit to Mark Ryan.

I think you'd have fun deciding which one to break in.
