GH&Co Scotch Mixture in a Savinelli 111KS Roma.
Just finishing this bowl of Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem.
After the production of "Condor" moved to Poland I basically wrote off the blend, especially given all the glum reviews. But then I read better, and I'm wondering what you re smoking these days, if you're smoking anything at all?
Had some Seersucker earlier in a GBD Infinity and I am now enjoying Presbyterian Mixture in a Stanwell Reg. Era #12 Billiard
An old homemade secret mixture I made years ago I called Excaliburley. Trying it out in my new meer. 
A quarter of the way through this bowl of aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-1952 (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem. First time smoking this pipe. I was waiting for the right tobacco to christen it with.
Evening smoke of Viprati in a Peterson 2020 Christmas Dublin.
Watching Brady v. Belichick, puffing on Plumcake in a Graco. This is a “cheap” pipe, but I like the look and it smokes great. Cheers!
Windjammer in my BC Brasilia. I kinda forgot that this is my lakeland pipe, oops. It kinda affected the taste in a less than desirable way, but still a good smoke. I am quite fond of the horn stem, but I dont really smoke this pipe that often.
A state (NSW, Oz) public holiday, so a couple more bowls this week.
"The Laziest Husband on the Block" actually spent a few hours in the yard attacking a much overgrown Himalayan bamboo (clumping) hedge, so I've actually earned my couple of hours on the front verandah today ?
A bowl of Former's Straight a Grain Flake in
A Dotter (Domagoj Telisman) canted egg morta with black bamboo extension.
Almost summery temperature today, so a Gosling's a Family Reserve rum, Fever Tree ginger ale with a wedge of Tahitian lime.

I'd guess, based upon what I've seen on ebay, read, and chats I've had with other pipe smokers, that the SF pipe and tobacconist shops commonly utilized Comoy's to order/make their shop stamped pipes from around the late 'teens to at least the early 40's. Who knows, maybe they had several manufactures make pipes for their shops, but I've only seen (several) Comoy's.
There was a Comoy's marked for David Hetzels San Francisco tobacco store on eBay earlier today. I think it was a 20's or 30's vintage.
Anyways, nice pipe, cool piece of history.
To follow, a bowl of MacBaren's HH Arcadian Perique
In another Dotter canted egg. A briar with light "satin" blast, showing some nice ring grain. With a variegated ebony extension.
I came across a knife with a similar variegated ebony handle and asked Domagoj if he could source some for the shank extension. And this was the result. Nice highlight, without being too "blingy"

Just finished smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.
I know Sasieni made pipes for shops, too, but they don't show up nearly as much as Comoy's do.
First time smoking Sutliff Black Virginia Plug in a straight black sandblasted WW2 Barling’s Make SS billiard with a black tapered vulcanite stem. First time smoking this pipe, too. When I was walking through the Sutliff plant, I saw a bin with a bag of this unreleased plug, a bag of Victoria crumble kake, and an unlabeled VaPer blend. They graciously gave me generous samples to smoke.
Revisited deception pass after jarring 2 years ago. The rough edges are gone and I find it rather enjoyable. Followed up with a bowl of Royal Yacht. Vitamin N requirement satisfied.
