Best Of

Well, closing this out with a mix of C&D’s “Espresso” and some Briar Fellowship Ravenwood “Leaves of Athelas” in my L’Anatra dalle Uova d’Oro Scottanaso 06 Hand Made.

Best Wishes for All, God Bless, and Take Care.

That Carey poker came in a non glossy, off-putting light color stain (?) with occasional almost pinkish highlights. Thanks to what I learned on this forum, I sought out Fiebing’s dyes. The pipe is now one of my top five pipes in my rotation.

Hot Coffee this morning and a bowl of 50/50 Sutliff “Irish Coffee” & C&D “Espresso”.
The pipe is a Yello-Bole #2804 from ~1933-1936.  I bought and refurbished this pipe years ago, this is the first time I have smoked it.  Smoking like a champ….with the original “scoop stinger”👍🏼.  These old Yello-Bole’s have always smoked well for me.  This pipe has decent grain all around, with a few tiny fills…...and these are Kaywoodies that didn’t make the grade.
