Downed a clay of Special Virginia in under a minute yesterday - getting some practice in for the fast smoke. Dropped a load of vapes off at Brimington Co-op yesterday on the way to Mum & Dad's for dinner.
Do you think the Egremont fast smoke should have its own thread?

Well, I was enjoying a nice bowl of Ennerdale Flake in my Peterson Junior Rusticated Billiard while out on a dog walk.
One unexpected tug of the leash later and wheeee, the pipe goes flying and there goes $85 when it hits the concrete.
That was the first and only time I've ever dropped a pipe, but I think the lesson to be learned here is that if I want to smoke a pipe while out walking then just bring an inexpensive cob. Thankfully the Peterson was a factory pipe and can be replaced, but I did really like that pipe so I'm still sad about the loss. From here on out it's cobs only for dog walking!

Ennerdale Flake is good in clay.
Sorry for your loss. They make some very good non toxic wood glue. Not sure how the non toxic version works with moisture but they glue cutting boards together with it. Someone here has the solution.Well, I was enjoying a nice bowl of Ennerdale Flake in my Peterson Junior Rusticated Billiard while out on a dog walk.

Practicing for clay pipe smoking competitions takes a LOT of pipe baccy
McClelland no.27 in a Mimmo Provenzano.
Yachtsman Plug in my Herbaugh bamboo billiard.
Briar fox in a savinelli bing billiard
Finishing up a bowl of Nightcap in a Peterson 221 Dongeal Rocky, this blends burns so well in this pipe that I just might dedicate it to the blend
It would be hard for me to bench that pipe. Very sweet looking.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I just finished smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2003 black sandblasted medium bend Karl Erik Ekstravagant scoop with a horn ferrule and black acrylic stem. Hated the photo I was using, and am not overly thrilled with this one, but it's the best that I could manage. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
GH Glengarry Flake a couple years old in a Peterson Aran rusticated 128.
Bengal Slices in my Castello Sea Rock. And as a bonus, I found my Nording stones while I was working in the garage today and forgot how much I like them.
Enjoyed a tasty snap dragon apple, and am off to work with a bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Exclusive in a Peterson Irish Harp Lovat.
Taking out a couple of French made GBDs today.
French silver hallmarks (diamond and boar’s head) but no date letter
1st up is a thick shanked, tapered stem GBD apple
With a bowl of 1999 McClelland’s Bombay Court
