No specific brand, just something out of a case in a pipe shop near the Egypt market. That was my mistake. I should have bought a branded pipe.IED brand ???

That looks exactly like a Kiko 286 from the same Era.
Good Morning brothers and sisters of the leaf. C&D Burley Flake #5 in a Savinelli 673 KS. Black coffee. 
Voodoo Queen in a Rossi 8202. I consider this to be my first briar pipe although technically my first was one back in the mid ‘80s during college - some bent billiard that I don’t remember well.
Anyway, I had my first “aha” pipe smoking experience with this pipe and some Orlik Golden Sliced.

Here's one for @halfdan -- Dunhill Nightcap in a 16" Williamsburg Pottery clay I bought in college:
I have to admit that I've never had as good of luck with my clays as my briars. I think that's from mostly smoking Virginias under the wrong conditions and getting that hot tasteless gurgle instead of pleasure. This time around, I'm seeing if a relatively flavorful baccy, packed a little looser, plus retrohaling does the trick. So far, so good!

2012 Wessex Brown Virginia Flake in a Rad Davis Apple.
Smoking some Nightcap in the same Rossi as above. I've got a notion to just smoke the crap out of this pipe and possibly get it to look as gnarly as Albert Einstein's pipe, a long favorite image of mine. My Rossi's stem isn't vulcanite, so it won't get as nasty looking...

A third of the way through this bowl from a freshly opened tin of year 2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
My Desktop on my computer is always a mess so I use this photo of Einstein's desk as my screeensaver.
I love that. Back in the day when I had an office, my desk would commonly look like that. It's nice to know I have something in common with a pipe smoking genius, even if it's just a messy desk and a ratty looking pipe.
Match Victorian from a Wessex billiard while waiting on concrete. 
Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Lunch follows this smoke.
A clever person once said "Genius is rarely organized" and I've used that as my defense ever since I heard it as a kid. I thought it was an Einstein quote, but now I can't find anything to back that up. Perhaps it was in a "Calvin and Hobbes" strip or something. I'm sticking with it, regardless!
1998 Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky in a Scott Thile Bulldog.
A mix of 5 Brothers and 1-Q in a Kaywoodie Silhouette billiard. My "cellar" and I are located in two different places, so today I went and grabbed a couple tins and dropped off some tins that I'm not smoking currently. I grabbed:
Watch City Terrapin Station
Rattray's Highland Targe
GL Pease Sixpence
Can't wait to give them a try.

This morning I cracked into a 3 year old tin of Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls. Mmm smooth 
The european branch of one of our sponsors here carries meerschaum as well as briar:
