About This Pipe
After going verbal rounds with Brian, Sykes, and Tony, we don't know what the "S" stands for in "LBS". Since "sandblast" would be too obvious, I'm going to say that it's in reference to British pounds, as opposed to dollars. The LB is one of my favorite Dunhill classic shapes, but the fact that the bowl is an oval (and the chamber) implies that it was smooshed at some point - which is what made the two little cracks near the rim appear on the right side.
