Maiden voyage for my new to me Comoys 1993 Xmas pipe with some Wilke Crystal Palace. Belgian white ale to go with. Scored off ebay for $45. Still waiting for my Bjarne to show up from Serbia..

Thanks! I picked the pipe up in early 2000s. Not sure when Les Wood produced Chevins for James Barber, but it sure does smoke well.That is one gorgeous pipe! To my mind the bark finish with silver band and Cumberland stem is the quintessential Ferndown, and that sounds like a blend worthy of the privilege.
Hey Jim, just bought a nearly identical pipe off ebay for $50. Called a Chippendale, supposedly made by Charaton exclusively for Tinder Box around the early 70s. Just doesn't have the double comfort stem. Looked to be in excellent condition.Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am half way through this bowl of year 2018 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Watching the Red Sox-Indians game.

Good for you. I have a Chippendale, and yes, it is a Charatan second. I paid $19.95 for it in 1979 at The Tinder Box. Mine is a terrific smoker, and I expect yours will be as well.Hey Jim, just bought a nearly identical pipe off ebay for $50.
