I wish I knew. It has "1986" on the bottom of the shank, and "Italy" on the bottom of the stem and a double circle on the side of the stem (hard to see on second picture). It smokes great....

Now smoking the last of my stash of P&W Nut Brown Burley in a 2002 black sandblast full bend D.R. Ardor Urano Fatta A Mano with a slightly tapered far side of the bowl.
Smoker’s Pride Mellow in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple.
First time smoking H&H Anniversary Kake. Pretty good. It should age really well.
A bowl of Dark Birdseye in a small Jeantet Prince upon rising this morning (with strong tea). I really really like this stuff (curse you Jim!!) and will definitely need to keep it on hand for a hearty Virginia. Really fills a niche in the rotation.
Part way through this bowl of the original Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09). Simply Orange is my drink.
Last fall I smoked an eight ounce tub from the summer of 2012, and here's what I noticed: it loses just a little sweetness, and the Virginia becomes a little more refined and obvious than when fresh.Quote:

The last of my open stash of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1970s three quarter bend half smooth, half rusticated Savinelli Autograph 4 with a lucite stem and ferrule. As I just got some of the original, I jarred the ounce of the Match I had left, save for this bowl. This Match is certainly closer to the original than Lane Limited Ready Rubbed.
