In this episode of Pipe Rundown, I catalogue five more pipes from the collection — an unusually varied lot that runs from a long-time favourite I still can't identify to a pair of unusual Swedish system pipes.

It opens with an elegant no-name I've smoked for years, followed by a slim BBB Classic 652 billiard made in England. Then things turn Swedish with two Brillon pipes built on the Falcon-style interchangeable system — a plastic-bodied Brillon 60 and a full Brillon Populär set with swappable briar chamber heads. The episode closes with a Mr. Brog 41, one of my favourite shapes. As always, I assess condition, talk through the shapes and smoking appeal, and assign each pipe an ID for the collection catalogue.

Any idea what that first no-name really is, or who made the Brillon pipes? Let me know in the comments — I'd love your help identifying them.

In this episode of Pipe Rundown, I go through five more estate pipes from the collection — a mixed bag that runs from a French-bought Mokin with a meerschaum lining to a couple of well-worn Mr. Brog pipes from my Poland batch, plus a genuine mystery.

Along the way there's a curious pipe stamped "MRS·BRO 64" in real briar with a repaired stem, two rusticated Mr. Brogs that both turn out to have cracks, and a clean no-name that bears a striking resemblance to a Prince Amlet. As always, I assess the condition, talk through the shapes, staining and smoking appeal, and assign each pipe an ID for the collection catalogue.

Got any idea what the "Mrs. Bro" stamp is, or whether that last no-name really is a Prince Amlet? Let me know in the comments — I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Summer forest at night, black screen, ten hours — warm night air, leaves moving, insects humming, distant birds up in the canopy. The level stays even all night, nothing loud enough to wake you. No music, no edits.

Field-recorded far from any road, one continuous take — just the forest after dark, nothing layered on top.

Morning birds and a shallow stream, black screen — birdsong up in the canopy, water running over stones underneath. Over an hour of it, calm and steady, easy to relax to. No music, no voices.

Recorded outside on a quiet morning with the forest just waking up — two sounds layered the way they actually were, nothing added.

Forest stream and soft birdsong, black screen — running water, birds further back in the trees. No music, no edits.

One continuous overnight recording.

I tried to carefully plan my current large painting and execute it all alla prima, but I eventually realized that strictly following a set plan just isn't how it feels good. I went back to a small practice canvas to follow my old intuition how to paint and just let the paint do its own thing. Have fun watching.

Music Ref:

Black screen, woodland birds — over an hour of forest birdsong with soft leaf rustle underneath. Calm and even, easy to relax or work to. No music, no edits.

A real recording from a quiet forest path: some birds close, some far off, the odd leaf shifting. Nothing added, nothing looped.
