Quick Drop-in Post . . . I feel like one of those arctic aviators dropping a package to frozen-in group of settlers cuz I got more on my plane so can't stop to talk - the holiday madness continues as I'm sure it is for many of you!!

So here's the continuing saga of my new pipes and their display on this thread. Had the initial smoke with my new Clay Pipe. Never had one before. It's from Old German Clay, and I had the initial "break-in" smoke "Pirate Kake". Didn't feel much like a break-in smoke, to be honest. Tasted a PK subtlety that I'd never tasted before. So, I've put the combo into immediate rotation. Clay seems to be a whole new world to me, and a good one!



Also bought a Briar Pot Pipe from the same company. Apparently Old German Clay makes a briar line as well, and I've been informed that they're decent. It looks good to me, and I'll give y'all the scoop on the break-in smoke with this neat looking pipe next time I make a package drop. A real bargoon, too!

Cheers and have a great Monday!

Enjoying GLP Barbary coast in a Neerup Volcano. Should’ve put some layers on. It’s a chilly and windy 45F out here in south Texas can’t imagine what all the foreigners north of Texas are feeling.
