Egremont Crab Fair 1969 - British Pathe footage

[The Clay King]

wait what? bags or rubbish? Is this some British thing? Or do you just pick cigs out of the trash? I won't even think about the pint without further clarification.

@anotherbob I go out litter picking. I was bought a pint of beer for my efforts. The cigarettes didn't come out of the trash

Got 7 bags of rubbish today; my highest daily total ever!
Got bought a pint of beer and given 6 cigarettes for my efforts.

I've read about that before, you're doing good work there and it can't be appreciated enough!
My next clay bowl of humble tobac will be raised and smoked in your honor!

Going to the UK pipe show in Nottingham tomorrow; going to wear the Redcoat and smoke a clay pipe. Should I show the crowd my fast smoking???
Also, should I show them my 1 drag cigarette trick???

Indubitably! But you must explain that you are, in fact, the King of Clay and that you're fit and experienced enough to smoke like that. You don't want people huffing their souls up around the next corner because they thought they could be puffing like you.

I'd like to see how long I can make a clay pipe of baccy last as well!

Apparently I have problems with both. I just tried to smoke fast. Nay!
Perhaps with a finely prepared commercial pipe tobacco but my own raw stuff is way too harsh in the mouth.
It's nice and sharp enough when smoked calmly but a hard draw on this stuff makes my mouth feel like a certain reactor of Chernobyl.
Beginner problems I guess, gotta char up some more skin in my mouth.

@Chaukisch Many thanks ; All hail the clay king!
