Nice ‘woodie! Looking at the clover, I’m betting it’s early rather than late. Can’t see if it says “briar” or “bruyere”…
Just got done refurbing this CPF
-Colossal Pipe Factory- pipe, from what I can glean from information gathered so far it’s a pre KB&B which would put it somewhere before 1898 but quite possibly later as these are difficult to date exactly. Now ghost free I’m going to make the first smoke Bankside and see how it goes. This was a gift from a good friend after one I brought on eBay wasn’t sent, probably due to the seller getting a higher offer and being a total dick.

G&H Dark Bird's Eye in a Ropp Vintage Briar.
My dear Amish friend, I understand you perfectly. I don't use ice either, not even water, because of climate change. I even take dry showers, which I don't even know what that means. I've put on my best running shoes, so I think they'll take me a few meters further. If you drop the ice from your glass, maybe it's because you have a deaf glass, which drops the ice. I wish you a happy Friday when friggin' Friday comes. I don't really like Fridays, I like Friday nights better.
Thank you, I love this pipe very much and I’m looking for a Birdseye to complement it but they seem to be rare as hens teeth. It’s marked “Briar” shape #99 and I think it’s 50’s but could be wrong, I’d appreciate your input if you think otherwise.
Dominican Glory Maduro in this pencil Scottie.
Enjoying some Peter Stokkebye Vanilla 06 out of my favorite pipe: Missouri Meerschaum Ozark.
Passing the half way mark on this bowl of early 2000s 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's show even though he's not there today. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Rumbling through my cellar and we found a gem: smoking bowl of 2017 SG St James Flake with a healthy pinch of Shortcut to Mushrooms mixed in. Lighting it up in this self-restored S. Bang Brandy with an 'Aristocratica Rossa' stain:
Maybe next year certain people will avoid DUI charges lol
Did a set of walking reps under cloudy skies, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Straightening up the den because an old college friend is in town, and coming to over to see us. Having some Lavazza Classico, neat, from a freshly opened bag.

Photo of the Cavendish / Duke of Newcastle regiment at the Battle of Nantwich 2023; I had a pipe with the guy on the left at Bolsover Castle way back in 2019 - once I managed to get it lit

Great guitar, my dad has the same.
Blairgowrie and Merry Monk with a new Christmas Peterson 264.
The Blairgowrie was a suggestion from @Ben.R.C and as usual he was dead on point. I like the blend very much. Virginia, Orientals, Latakia, and Perique with a bold taste and good nicotine hit. I’ll be ordering more.
