Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have about a third of a bowl left of KBV Turkish Delight in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. Putting the finishing touches on a review of this blend. Sweet and sour, floral and spicy!

Finally home from off-island errands today.. clays showed up in the mail so trying my first ever clay, along with a lineup this evening: small clay with Sillem's, then cob with Peretti Yuletide, then the Santa Sav 602 with a half bowl of Pride of Lock Lomond. I'm settling in for the evening.

@Scottmi Welcome to the Fellowship of the Clay:)
I always think it's a shame to smoke a new clean white pipe; only 4 pipes out of my 4 boxes of clays have bene smoked (some rather heavily).
The 'smoked' clays smell like Jorvik Viking Centre...
The tobacco residue soaks into the clay; currently smoking some Clan in my clay pipes & received my 7oz of Cornell & Diehl baccy from Smokingpipes.com
I'll have to try some Sillem's Musketeer in my clays next time I order from Smokingpipes...

Thank you! It is definitely a little different experience. Looking forward to better understanding it!
