Wow, one of my favorites. Well done, sir. I’ll have to rummage around and dig out my RDF jar for tomorrow night’s smoke.
Is it readily available again right now in the UK? I heard it was pretty scarce within the past year or so.

Some places were sold out, but not all. I got some loose from one place, and a tin for the ageing drawer from another. Probably half the vendors I use have it in stock in at least one of the two formats.
McClelland Wilderness in a Boswell Shotshell.
Tried some Sir Walter Raleigh, a half-bowl, in a GBD bent apple. Quite nice, especially outdoors -- the weather has warmed (as it does even in January and February here) to a pleasant if cloudy 58 F.

The last crumbs of my GH Reunion Brown House Roll Cut just nicely fitted into a Pony Express cob. It's surprising how little thick cut tobacco it takes to fill this pipe, yet I still seem to get a decent length smoke from it.

Shoveling slush to have a clear spot to park... Fire Dance flake in a bone stubby anse.

G&H Ennerdale Flake in a Ron Fairchild Prince.
My first smoke of Half & Half, this in a no-name bent billiard I've had since the '90s.
My second half bowl of Half & Half in a Savinelli sandblasted billiard with a lightly bent (and badly oxidized) stem:
Is this what is known as a "military" or "army" mount? The stem goes right into the metal collar. And the stem is unusual: It's like my Peterson System pipe, in that the opening is on the top or dorsal side of the stem, instead of at the very end. I haven't seen this model available now on websites. It's the one I fondly refer to as my "Somerset Maugham" pipe -- possibly because I was reading Of Human Bondage in the '80s when I bought this one.

That looks like an army mount.
And of course, you know the history. During WWI, soldiers in the trenches used spent ammo brass to reinforce damaged pipe shanks.
Sadly, some of the latest Savs are now sporting faux spigot mounts. Style ...
