@sax&pipes86 I smoked some Old Dark Fired in my clay pipes; I find strong dark baccy hits the back of my throat harder so I prefer lighter coloured Virginia blends. Next year I'd like to limit my clay pipe smoking to re-enactment events and days out. I'll probably order some of the golden coloured Virginia blends such as Yorktown, Lane HS3 and the other real life "Clay King
" Virginia / Cavendish blends such as SG Black Forest. This is the real life "Clay King "
Just finished smoking Chris Morgan Jackalope in a straight smooth medium brown year 1912 Henry Tongue bulldog with a silver cap and band and an amber saddle stem with an orific bit.

To our new fellow pipe smokers, if you happen to read this!
If you can barely afford even a MM Cob, all I can say, is it’s the same with Briars, price doesn’t always equate to a good smoker, and there’s even bad and good cobs too.
What I can tell you to help, my MM Apple Diplomat smokes as nice as pipes I’ve smoked costing $200-$300, and I’m seriously not joking.
So don’t let the high cost of all those fancy looking briar pipes discourage you, or that you believed, that a cob, all you could afford was supposedly junk.
Be well everyone! Aloha!

@Chaukisch I made a crumble with some of Jane's pears
this evening; had some plant based ice cream 
with it. I love picking apples 
, pears and blackberries off the trees / bushes. If I was getting a woodland / bushcraft centre together I would plant some fruit trees to add to our diet and bakingYou know how much I love your braided clay pipe already, do you???
This is my favourite out of all the pipes on this forum
Shame we can't get together for a few beers and bowls (out of a clay of course)...
New commisioned piece from Barker Pipes. Such a comfortable pipe. Perfect t size, weight, draw. Looking forward to others in the work by him.

@PipeIT I could get a lot of clays and something to smoke in them for the price of one briar pipe...Wilke Rum Cake in a MM Apple Diplomat with a Forever Stem.

@AppalachianPiper92 I enjoyed the Luxury Navy Flake in my clay pipes.
WOW! now this is what I’m talking when you are all out and about, this is amazing, I absolutely love it!
Thank you so much for sharing!
P.S. Everyone share some of the world around you when ya puffing...
A quarter of the way through this bowl of Jim's Va/Bur #2 in a 1986 full bend pebble relief Aldo Velani Titan 33 briar Hungarian/Calabash with a black acrylic tapered stem that has a briar accent. Listening to the Braves-Phillies game in the XM since our local Fox channel blocked them out.
Just popped open a 15 year old tin of McClelland's Yenidje Supreme. The tin aroma is incredible.

Some blends hit me like that but very few. I really like this Old Dark Fired but I think I prefer the burley flake. To me it’s more well rounded. The ODF is a once and a while itch I scratch haha. Typically Virginias and vapers are my go to blends. I used to smoke a lot of Latakia and aromatic blends when I started smoking but I haven’t really reached for them in years!@sax&pipes86 I smoked some Old Dark Fired in my clay pipes; I find strong dark baccy hits the back of my throat harder so I prefer lighter coloured Virginia blends.

I think when you are finished, a profile pic of this would be appreciated.Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Brown Bogie in a Meer...
Classic Teri Garr in that one! I have a few McClouds recorded. Thought of you last week - over two nights I recorded a two part episode of Cannon just because it had David Janssen and just about anyone who ever showed up in a TV show it it. It comes on after Mannix in the middle of the night - frequently record some of those that look interesting - some good shows on back in the "good old days".
