***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***

[The Clay King]

Putting the clay through its paces. This time with a SS gift of GH & Co Dark Birdseye. Working on my favor with the Clay King. @halfdan this is a fine tobacco for the Clay King to have lit by the blacksmith.

@TN Jed Welcome to the Brotherhood of the Clay! I think Gawith tobacco is very well suited to clay pipes. Can you imagine how many clay pipes have been smoked with Gawith tobacco over the years? Be careful not to break the clay; I've lost count of how many I've broken... @Tate says his didn't last very long...

 

[The Clay King]

American Cut Plug Mixture in a clay. First clay in the arsenal. It’s an easy smoking pipe. Hoping to be appointed the Clay Viceroy of Tennessee by the Clay King @halfdan.View attachment 270797

@TN Jed Nice pipe and good baccy choice. Welcome to the Brotherhood of the Clay!

Half way through this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Christmas Spirit 2023 in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow acrylic stem. Working on a review. I've no idea of the release date.

Passing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. Hopefully, I can end this busy day with this smoke.

That’s either a very small oriental rug or the biggest pipe in the world

Morning everyone, starting off with Wessex Burley Slices in a Kaywoodie small billiard from a matched grain set and the usual Lavazza.

I think I'll change my name to Montague Alexander Montague; suits an elegant chap like me.

That’s funny Birddog, it’s actually a very small Persian rug sitting on top of my tin storage cabinet. It just ended up being the place where I load and sit the next pipe for a smoke. I hope your having a pleasant weekend and all is finding you well across the pond.
