St Bruno in a Falcon with blasted Bantam bulldog bowl. I like to dry this out a bit but it gets too crumbled if I put it in a dish. Now I pack a Falcon bowl and let it sit for an hour and I get less dust in my mouth.
@edger I've smoked a few packets of St Bruno Ready Rubbed in the clay pipes. Falcon pipes aren't my style but a couple of pipe smoker's I know in Chesterfield smoke them, including James who always lets me have a clay pipeful of his Clan. One of the re-enactors I met at the Bonnie Prince Charlie event in Derby was smoking Clan in his clay pipe; although modern I thought the tartan packet went with his costume. I smoked some Condor in the Markus Fohr clay pipe I got from @condorlover1 - I think it's fitting!!!
Should I keep it as a dedicated Condor pipe???

One of the spare bowls that has turned a brown color was used for smoking Condor Plug/Condor RR so just use that one lad. This is not rocket science Dan!

@condorlover1 I thought I could taste the Condor in the clay pipe; got a packet of Condor to smoke in it. Didn't know Condor plug was still made but I've seen Condor Long Cut. I'll have to keep it as a dedicated Condor pipe then...

Almost finished smoking this bowl from a first production tin (2013) of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Got a bunch of HU review samples today! :)

Finishing off a 2 year old tin of F&T Cut Virginia Plug so I can crack open a recently acquired tin of the same from 2014. One more flake to go after this one, cube cut and dropped into my 3-star “P” from Mark Tinsky. I haven’t had this pipe long, but it seems to be starting to darken a bit the more I smoke it, which I’m all for ?

Experienced nearly identical a couple of days ago on a run - a sea of cloud with only the peak I was sat on and a couple of others in Lancashire visible. Sun, full moon rising. Incredible and dreamlike.
Aye, it’s been spectacular here over the weekend. Thick persistent fog on the coast and 2°, 300m up and it was 14° in the sun. One of the best inversions I’ve seen!
