A Dr. Grabow Omega with Prince Albert Soft Vanilla in the Summer of '91.
Almost exactly one year ago I went to a B&M on a rainy afternoon and bought a Peterson System Standard 313 and a tin on Cult Blood Red Moon. Need to revisit both pipe and tobacco, haven’t tried them in a while!
They still make them, by the looks of it: Al Pascià - Big Ben Pipo White Polish - pipe 665 - Pipes - Big b - https://www.alpascia.com/en/product/41380/big-ben-pipo-white-polish
Cute little things. I might add one to my wishlist.

Go for it, olkofri. They're super compact and convenient for a quick smoke on the go. Seems right up your alley.
MM Country Gentleman and 1Q. Worked fine, but I think I may have been better off with something non-aromatic.
Caledonian White in a cheap basket churchwarden 1996.
About 6 years ago I made a trade with a buddy exchanging a knife for a pipe made to order out of some local tree. I think he unrolled a Cigarillo for tobacco.
Not a bad pipe all told, thinking now it's kind of amazing he got a 4" stem drilled reasonably well with just a simple drill press.
Only problem now is a knot on the stem started leaking.

Raspberries & Cream bulk tobacco from a local B&M. Can't really remember exactly which pipe was first. It was probably a basket pipe, Grabow, or a little meer. That was probably 15 years ago. I don't really go for aromatics anymore but that Raspberries & Cream blend always has a soft spot for me. Sadly I found out it was a McClelland blend...damnit. ?
Emerson's Irish cream (B&M) in a MM cob, 2005. Smoked pretty regularly for a few months. Started again in the fall of 2017
October 2007, Lane BCA in a donated cob. /facepalm (Embarrassing admission lol)
Around 1978 with my uncle Jim. Tried some Half and in a Falcon
Peterson Sherlock Holmes in a nondescript bulldog estate pipe bought from Shinypipes on eBay for $35.
This was 6 years ago and I have only smoked that pipe once or twice before buying my first ‘real pipe’, a Stanwell Viking specialty pipe shape 172.

A corncob from a gas station store when I was a kid along with some tobacco from the same store. Folks running it were apparently unaware that underage people like me are prohibited from making these purchases. Not too long after that I got my hands on a long stemmed clay pipe sold at a museum type store (where I grew up played a significant part in the American War for Independence/Revolutionary War). I was very young and used to smoke while wading in a stream and fishing.
Newminster Blackberry Brandy may fill that void.?
I threw it away many years ago, but have a picture of it, can anyone identify it? From 1976.
