Good morning All
A dull start to Boxing Day here in Scotland ??????? however brightened with a bowl of Macbaren’s HH Rustica in a Blakemar Briars Sir Douglas after finishing off last night’s bowl of the same but in a James Barber B-Line Lovat. Enjoying the array of tastes and sensations this tobacco provides. Kai watching out for grey squirrels.
Happy smokes

Where did you find that wrapping paper!?

I'm finishing off some University Flake.
Have been smoking it on and off over the last couple of days, haven't posted in ages though.

Really growing on me, especially the blueberry(?) topping.

Ah my girlfriend bought me the pipe for Christmas from SP, said she paid extra for the gift wrap lol. I searched the sight to find the wrapping paper but to no avail. I wanted to wrap my corner of the garage in it. I’ll be making a call to them on Monday, I found a hairline crack in the pipe? I’ll ask if I can buy some paper from them and let you know!

Not far from finishing this bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a smooth straight brown circa WW2 Trapwell mountain laurel patent apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. I'll end the day with this smoke.

@Ettrick puffer I enjoyed the Rustica in my clay pipes; did you get a baccy rush from it!

@Ettrick puffer @samuelgawith01 says don't expect to hit anything with your Brown Bess musket after smoking the Rustica

@halfdan no I didn’t, maybe I’m used to Samuel Gawith’s 1792 Flake and various plugs and ropes. A very pleasant smoke though, pity about its limited availability.

@Ettrick puffer I get it after smoking strong baccy even if I don't puff too hard; maybe this Redcoat needs to toughen his nicotine tolerance!!!
Even Condor packs a mighty punch!!!
It would be great if we could meet up when the pandemic is over.
You would love the Peak District in Derbyshire; I've got a book of walks that I'm going to have a go at when the weather gets better next year!!!

@Ettrick puffer Maybe I need to strengthen my lungs ready for when I go to re-enactment.
I see Smoking pipes.com sell the Rustica so I'll probably get a couple of tins next time I order from them, along with a couple more clays.
It would be good to shoot your Brown Bess musket if we could get together, followed by a few beers and bowls
I'd have to wear my Redcoat uniform; maybe I should smoke some Clan in my clay pipe

Handsome pipe. I like the light colors.

Thank you, the wife did a good job acquiring this one.

Some Peterson standard mixture I bring with me in a Peterson pouch, in my Peterson System pipe while having a walk with my Peterson dog.
After 3 days of rain and wind I started feeling like I was in Ireland, but today sun is back so I’m suddenly back to the subtropics.
