Joe Stalin was a big fan of Royal Yacht. As a WW II ally of Britain, he had no problems with supply.

What? You say that he was a despotic, genocidal Communist dictator? Well, true, but you can't disregard his esthetic judgements on those grounds alone. His condemnation of Shostakovich's "Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District" was spot on.

Edit: The RY tin label looks like it might be the label to a tobacco named Chinese Fire Drill.

Starting off my smoking day with Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of Mist Twst is my drink.

Stonehaven in a 1984 black sandblasted straight Dunhill Shell 4103 Billiard with a black vulcanite stem.

Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite stem.

Stokkebye English Oriental Supreme in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a pearl brown acrylic stem.

Now smoking G&H Bob’s Chocolate Plug in a 2014 straight MM Missouri Pride Legend. Have enough for one more bowl. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.

Part way through this bowl of 2006 McClelland Bayou Slices (Blakeney’s Best) in a 1982 near full bend egg shaped Ascorti Business KS with a black ferrule and black saddle acrylic stem. Have enough for about half a bowl.
