Diorama Of A British Soldier Smoking A Clay

[cshubhra]

Yesterday we went for a day trip to Lake George. One of the places we visited is Fort William Henry- It is a replica of a British fort from the 18th century, which was a strategically important point of control between New York and New France.
As with most of my day trips, I did not get an opportunity to smoke a pipe or a cigar, but did take a photo with a British soldier smoking a clay in the barracks.

Day trips are the best?

So…what blend was he smoking?…?

Yes … the fun is as much about the journey as it is about the destination.

I did not ask, but @condorlover1 or @halfdan should be able to enlighten us.

Whatever he was smoking must have been pretty strong because he looks a bit pale.

Daytripping is fun and the best part is at the of the day you get to sleep in your own bed.

@cshubra It would have been Virginia tobacco.

I like to smoke Gawith baccy in my clay pipes at re-enactments; @condorlover1 says the Wars of Independence got messed up because of the British Redcoats smoking Clan in their clay pipes...

If Clan will keep us Independent, where do I get some??? ?

Samuel Gawith 1792.

@frozenchurchwarden A baccy very well suited to clay pipes; I've tried it in my clay.

@gamzultovah I don't think it's sold in the USA.

So.. How did they bum smoke back then? "Goodman Johnson! What a delight pleasure to see you here today! Can I take a drag off your clay?"

@gamzultovah I met a fellow pipe smoker in Chesterfield today and he's younger than me!
He let me have a handful of Clan - enough for 2 clay bowls. Now to put my pipes in the safe so I don't smoke them!

 

[condorlover1]

That chap sitting at the table smoking the pipe in the grey wool coat actually is @halfdan. This is his once a month gig where he sits perfectly still for eight hours not moving with a clay pipe in his mouth!

Shocking that you met someone younger than you smoking a pipe. You look fairly young in your avatar.
