Sorry for the hiatus, been a busy week with no relief in sight until about the 7th. I was able to pop out for a quick puff in this small Williard, I have 3 or 4 Willards and enjoy them very much, they are sturdier, better looking, and better crafted than a grabow in my opinion for around the same price ranger (or cheaper). All I could find about the company is that they were distributed on military bases during the Vietnam era. I never served and all of my friends served much later than Vietnam, I know we have some vets on here so if anyone has experience with this brand, or saw it while deployed, I would love to hear from you about it!

Happy new years to everyone if I don't get back on here for a few days!

Willard pipes were sold in drugstores, too. My father bought one in the late 1950s, though he didn't stick with pipe smoking. And that became the pipe I started with.
 
Amphora Original in a Lorenzo Spitfire Filtro bent. Just won a GBD 9493 pot shape. This is the model GL Pease mentioned as a favorite in a post on the forum on pot shapes. Pretty excited to get this baby.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have about a third of a bowl left of KBV Turkish Delight in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. Putting the finishing touches on a review of this blend. Sweet and sour, floral and spicy!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem.
