Done 308342 steps since July 1st now!
Making a loaf of bread for tomorrow - I don't live on beer and pipeweed like some forum members might think I do!

@Ettrick puffer will appreciate a bit of Scotland being celebrated here in the SoCal Desert. Tastykake in my CAO gourd calabash meerschaum. One of my first pipes with an old hat from when I got out of college.

@telescopes very smart Sir, the deerstalker hat is a very versatile hat and I’ve worn one for 34 years since starting my career as a gamekeeper.
Happy smokes

Just going to down another clay pipe of Condor!

 

[The Clay King]

Made a Condor advert in the churchyard today:

 

[LotusEater]

3 to 1 mix of Lane HGL and cigar leaf in a Georg Huber design
I’m really enjoying this mix and look forward to seeing what some time in a jar will do for it.

What do you exactly find that the cigar leaf does for the blend? For a few of my blends, I've added G&H Dark Flake into them at exceedingly small proportions to give the blend some added depth and character. Do you find that the cigar leaf does this as well?

Online Club Mixture in my '73' vintage Charatan Distinction Extra Large Canadian freehand.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2000 Wessex Brigade Sovereign Curly Cut in a smooth straight Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

It adds body , creaminess a little spice and it increases smoke volume without messing up the slightly smokey vanilla, rum flavor of the HGL.

A guy who hand rolls cigars at a local shop gave me the cigar leaf but I can’t remember what he told me it is.

[The Clay King]

Met a homeless man outside the Co-Op and gave him a smoke of my clay pipe - I think I made him happy for a few minutes and his pipe smoke smelled nice!
The full packet of Condor will be smoked in a clay!
