As it says. Drapers Buttered Rum (years and years old so mellowed out almost entirely) in a meer billiard, purchased in or near St Louis in roughly ‘95. I’ve lucked out that haphazard cellaring has mostly worked fine.

@--dante-- I've never had one with a regular stem but @condorlover1 has one. I've got some Markus Fohr clay pipes and they smoke very well but tend to become more heavily stained with smoking than English clay pipes...
32 minutes is the best smoking time with my clay without relighting!
I still don't know how Cavendish at Bolsover Castle made his clay pipe of baccy last more than an hour; I couldn't make mine last that long!
After my long slow smoulder in the churchyard there was still a bit of unburned tobacco left in the clay bowl - does this mean that something is wrong???
Found 2 working lighters, 2 unopened bottles of Budweiser, a bottle of water and a nearly full packet of cigarettes this week; the things people leave without realising
Gave the cigarettes away after smoking a couple of them.
Showed a couple of people my clay pipe smoking competition winning smokes; one let me have a cigarette and another gave me a can of Strongbow cider today!
Still not heard from @Maddogsmokers yet regarding my prize:-(

Dorchester is my recently purchased Altinay Meer.
Just finished smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue in a smooth dark brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam 340 patent billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
SG FVF in a 1904 SH (Solomon Hecht) with Amber Stem and Fluted Bowl
Lizzie Blood Red Virginia in a Peterson SH Professor PSB.
Good evening. We start with. 965 of Peterson, in corn cob Charles Cobbler. And a mug of cold water................
Afternoon smoke of Sutliff 1849 in a blue Balandis pipe and espresso.
That looks like a regulating valve for an LP tank, not a good way to leak test it lmao ?
Working on my sophistication. It's definitely no whiskey but still pretty good. Honestly, if there wasn't a duck on it imight not like it as much. The union Square is as good as always 
MB Vanilla Cream in the Muhsin volcano.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking the soon-to-be-released Ken Byron Ventures Mind the Gap (Merchant Service Pipes) in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a brown pearl acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Mix of GH&Co Dark Plug, Cavendish, Virginia’s in a Morgan Bones Arbutus Apple Sitter.
@ashdigger I enjoyed the Full Virginia Flake in my clay pipes.
Samuel Gawith samples:
Best Brown Flake - very nice but Full Virginia Plug is superior in every way for my taste
Celtic Talisman - fckawful, sad to say for a Gawith product, reqlly hate it. This actually tastes like soap to me.

to relax a bit on the porch, GLP Temple Bar in a Jack Howell and cold water with ice

Now smoking the soon-to-be released Ken Byron Ventures Yomishi’s House Shoes in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a dark tortoise shell colored tapered acrylic stem.
What do you think of the 1849? I was gonna put some of that and English Crumble Cake in my next order. I’m bummed that I missed out on the Cringle and Barrel aged Ltd Edition but I think they were gone long before I first used SP anyway.
