Clay for a Day…

You must be real fun at parties…

@craig61a I think you and I would get on very well; a shame we can't get together for a pint and a clay!

 

[The Clay King]

Yes you should definitely keep going for a longer smoke time.

Bro, tobacco prices in UK are cheap. Especially if you are only smoking clay sized bowls and infrequently

@Ahi Ka It takes a LOT of pipe baccy practicing for clay pipe smoking competitions!

Bro anyone with his handle knows how to have a good time.

I definitely think having a go with the brown twist. It’s great tobacco. In fact, I think you should make the most of having access to what comes out of Kendall and slowly work your way through the entire range, from shags to plugs. Even buying them in 10g samples from GQ

@Ahi Ka I remember you saying if I wasn't smoking Cannon Plug in my clay then I'm not the Clay King

A perfect Martini, please - „shaken and not stirred“…

Damn it. I was right, Ahi Ka, she went from a beautiful girl in profile, to a kiwi. Other forum mates also change their profile pictures very often, and I don't know who they are anymore. For the love of God, will you guys stop messing with your profiles. We are adults, this is a tobacco forum, not toys and fruits.

To be addressed personally by you is an honour. As for my profile pic, that’s just a close up of my areola

@aspiring_sage Who do you think will win the England vs New Zealand smoke-off?
Need some more practice with regard to packing, lighting and slow smoking; the Clay King WILL get the hang of it! No big clouds of clay pipe smoke though; it burns your baccy too fast!

I have tried (unsuccessfully) to follow this thread, so I’ll just leave this here.
I smoke this one for weeks at a time.

Is that a chunk of briar next to it, or your petrified ball sack?

I can’t predict who would win, but I see the the odds in favor of New Zealand.

I had a dream that I bought a clay and was clenching it by mistake. If I can find one locally you may get a US entry as well.

 

[Ahi Ka]

Ok Dan, since you’re having a better time smoking st Bruno RR I’ll get a pouch.

I have been enjoying twist in my clay this week but I found my favourite way to smoke it is 5 mins clenching and then put the pipe down for 5 mins.

Weeks at a time—we have a new king of slow smoking.

While it does resemble my petrified ball sack, it’s actually a Castello, you ignorant Kiwi wretch.

Good to know what my, er, pipe collection will look like after smoking dark plug exclusively for 5 decades

(Beautiful briar too btw bro)

@Ahi Ka
Clay Cutty Challenge Round 2:
Pipe: Pollock Cutty.
Tobacco: St Bruno Ready Rubbed (2.5g).
Start: 2138
End: 2211
Not bad, but 4 minutes less than my time for round 1...

 

[Ahi Ka]

I opened a pouch of RR today which has been vacuumed sealed since 2019. It is as moist as the day it was packed.

Despite going deep (by NZ standards) The only Bruno I have smoked prior to this was some bulk jarred up from the 80s. Holy moly, I knew it would be my desert island smoke! The perfect mix of mellowed Kentucky, bbq, tang, a touch of an essence similar to that in coniston cut.

I smoked it in my Kirsten this morning, but have got my clay ready to fire it up tomorrow evening.

 

[Ahi Ka]

Did my first round of Bruno today



.5g for 20mins.

It really confirmed for me that I prefer smoking a clay on and off for 5minutes between tasks rather than sitting down for a smoke. Heck I even got bored and started walking around lol
