Clan

'Clan' was one of the tobaccos me and my friends smoked in the mid 60s, because it was rather cheap and we hadn't the money for a decent one. Later on we discovered 'Mac Baren Mixture' (and other blends) and 'Clan' was forgotten.

 

[BROBS]

Have you ever smoked Clan?
If so, what did you think of it?
It's the only baccy I've ever smoked in a normal (non-clay) pipe!

it's horrible stuff.
Some Jerk in Paris at a news stand near Notre Dame sold me a packet telling me it was a popular aromatic.

@halfdan aren't there any newsagents or tobacco shops near you? There must be one that has some packeted Gawith or Germain blends?

I was in there yesterday buying a packet of Wilson's of Sharrow pipe cleaners - a shame they stopped making clay pipes or I'd probably be their best customer!

 

[The Clay King]

I absolutely loath the stuff. I would rather my ball sack be stapled to the floor with a nail gun whilst getting buggered up the back side by a dwarf wearing a barbed wire condom then to ever smoke a bowl of Clan. Does that answer your question?

I think that's a lot extreme!

I think you should try some of the Gawith Hoggarth!!!

I've tried the Gawith Hoggarth Cherry Vanilla & Black Cherry; I like them in my clay when I go to living history reenactments. I haven't been into town as much since the shutdown, it's my first visit to Devon House News since I went to see Cavendish's Horses at Bolsover Castle last year.
I'll have to get some twist when I go to see Lace Wars & The Sealed Knot again, now that Condorlover1 has taught me how to prepare it!

 

[condorlover1]

Dan. It's addictive. Once you get into twist you will look at Clan in the same way one thinks about ones first girlfriend when you comparing her to the current model - what was I thinking!

I think the turn of phrase you are looking for here is 'That's a bit extreme'. I am well known for my extreme views on certain tobacco's and hence my very limited rotation. I have had 40 years to figure out what I enjoy smoking!

You, extreme views???? Heaven forbid...

 

[weezell]

And that IS a lot extreme...?

A fellow pipe smoker in Chesterfield let me have a pipeful yesterday.
