Pete,

The one that I had was purchased in the early 90's; it was a smooth, chunky billiard, almost like a Dunhill LB but with a Ser Jacopo (or your) style. I sold it about 10 years ago and that is one pipe that I really miss out of all of them that have come and gone.
Doesn't that package just scream 1940s? The reason I like (and smoke so much) Gawith Hoggarth is that they taste today much as they did 30 years ago. Not Samuel Gawith or any other company I find to be as close to their roots as GH, who make no bones about buying tobacco from Africa but it's obviously very good leaf and these maestros know what to do with it.

Enjoy that Bird's Eye.
