Nightcap, Elizabethan, 1792, Full vergina Flake, cabbies Mixture to mention a few all hopeless, but...

    Broken clay pipe

    I had a long difficult journey from Cornwall to Portsmouth yesterday in the bad weather. Today I went out for a smoke with my clay pipe, I had a funny turn with my ongoing medical problem. I am OK but the pipe broke into 5 pieces. Would love to have a replacement clay pipe.
