Not far from finishing this bowl of 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Phillies game with Sleepy Suzy by my side. Molly is snoozin' by my feet.

About a quarter of a bowl left of well aged Bald Headed Teacher in a medium brown, smooth octagonal paneled bowl and shank, medium bend 2016 Tim West Book Keeper 6 with a black acrylic saddle stem. Don't understand why this burns so quickly because the tobacco has some moisture. Doesn't matter... this original version is still good.

Despite the name and packet, it's very much a Dutch style tobacco.
CLAN - one of the blends that anyone starting a pipe in their teens in the 1970s in the U.K. would have tried and from there progressed onto Dunhill blends and other brands available at the time but now sadly gone
(Sullivan Powell, H. Simmons, G. Smith & Sons, B&H (O.V.F), Sobranie etc.)

First pipe I ever bought in the '70s - a Savinelli Oscar Aged Briar
