Staying up late since I started late, Rouxgaroux in a Stanwell and Parsons blend in a Made In London England. Tea and honey and a good book.

That amount of time to smoke a bowl in a clay would be normal for me and not constitute a "fast smoke." Clay bowls are just too small.
Did a little low calorie snacking, and an a quarter of the way through this bowl of Hearth & Home AJ’s Vaper in a pre-1952 Sutliff Falcon 372 (made by Comoy’s) smooth light brown straight bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Listening to the Dodgers-Padres game as I work.
Erinmore Flake in a Falcon and a nice Saturday to all good people!
Prior to starting my day shift I'm having always dependable Amphora Original Brown in a Dunhill Shell 31 07 long light weight prince
Good morning all.
Starting the weekend with My Own Blend Elizabethan in an Altinay translucent bamboo billard meershaum.
Wish you all a happy weekend with a lot of smoke

Now smoking Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just fed Daisy the Feral Princess, and Tomato the Brave. The others, except for Sam the Scamp, are somewhere else.
Now smoking 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Just fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. Time to read baseball box scores.
Practicing for clay pipe smoking competitions takes a LOT of pipe baccy
@Christos D. Tsatsaronis Erinmore Flake is a nice baccy; I like your avatar with the clay pipe smoking picture!
@Pappy Coon I was smoking Yorktown at the Redcoats & Revolutionaries event at Cromford Mill when Jason the blacksmith lit my clay pipe with an ember from his forge!

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of Uhle’s Blend 71 in a 2018 smooth full bend Peterson Premiere 312 billiard with a silver cap military mount and a black vulcanite saddle stem with a p-lip. Runnng low on this blend. I'll end the day with this smoke.
My smokes for the rest of the day today have been:
- Super Value Bourbon Whiskey in a Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman
- Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia in a Rattray's Blower's Daughter
- Mac Baren Golden Extra in a Morgan Bones Milan
Tonight was my first time trying Golden Extra and it's pretty good! A mostly smooth and lightly nutty burley blend that's apparently considered an old timey codger blend over in Denmark. I've heard tell that there is a light chocolate topping on it, though if there is I sure can't pick it out. The burleys do have the same slightly astringent quality I found in Mac Baren's HH Burley Flake that vaguely reminds me of rotting grapefruit and made me not care for it, though that may just be a "me thing" since I've never heard of anyone else finding Mac Baren's burleys to be astringent tasting. Maybe I'm just more of a Cornell & Diehl guy when it comes to burley blends!
