I have a Derry 69. Great smoking pipe. I use for English blends. I personally do not loke bowl coatings and removed it from mine. Made all the difference in the world. Enjoy the pipes, they look great.Got two new, proper pipes, they arrived today, time to break them in.

I've no idea why it double posted one of the pics and set one as an attachment. Does it on its own. Not sure if that'll still show up after this edit.
@ashdigger Nice pipe; I enjoyed the Bosun cut plug in my clay.
