New Northern Briars (Smoker's Forum) pipe I

I had ordered a smooth regal cut Lovat with a silver ring, when the 2007 SF pipes were up for ordering in maybe April this year. Well, today I got it!
It is a smidgen larger than I had expected which is a bit of a disappointment but - on the other hand maybe this pipe will be the one that shows me why the classic English Latakia mixtures always were smoked in larger (wider) bowls as they used to be. And this one is a classic though I am not sure it is exactly a Lovat - more of a chubby Billiard is the general opinion on the forums.
