I really, really want to see that pipe that was owned by William Conrad.

Snacked on a few red grapes, and am now smoking Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard. Going back to work. Been listening to a two hour block of Gunsmoke shows starring William Conrad. As his birthday was the 27th, XM has spent the week celebrating his birthday with a lot of radio shows ranging from starring roles to supporting roles.
Also I’m finishing a bowl of Cornell & Diehl: King Cake in my Peterson 2014 Xmas 212 Fishtail. I opened the tin about 9 months ago and forgot about it until tonight. It’s been sitting in the tin all this time and does not appear to have dried out much at all.

I have two of them. Here they are:
Here's Conrad smoking the Dublin I own:
Thanks Jim! I was curious for a while about the second one with the cuts along the bowl you described - unique pipe for sure!
Very, very cool that you’ve got a historical record to go along with that Dublin. I get the feeling that you’ve got a lot more unique and interesting things related to the hobby. I’ll echo oldtoby and say I hope you post more pics in the future!
Work is done for the day, and I'm now smoking 1960s W.F. Monroe Cigar Co. Conway’s Private Blend Pipe Mixture in a black pebble finish straight 2003 Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano lovat with a black acrylic saddle stem. Doing some reading.
Now smoking Sutliff Prince Albert Match in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching The World Is Not Enough.
Last smoke of the day is year 1999 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a 2015 Basil Meadows black sandblasted billiard with an aluminum band and a pearl red acrylic tapered stem.
Having a little Dunhill Nightcap in a Stanwell Deluxe Sandblasted 161 Bent Bulldog. I love the Danish inspiration on a classic shape. 
Smoking some GLP Quiet Nights in an MQ Ranger (churchwarden fishtail with 10" birch stem).
Another beautiful NC morning. Yale Dropout (2:1:1 - C&D Yale Mixture, Pease Samarra, Dunhill the Aperitif) in an EA Carey billiard.
Some sutliff z92 in a savinelli 313 Roma rusticated
And of course a hot cup of coffee

GLP Embarcadero in a cavalier figural meer by Medet, with coffee and the morning paper.
Starting the morning with hot apple pie and Kona coffee. Hey, life's too short not to eat pipe. Having a bowl of Murray 965 in a Charatan.
