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

[The Clay King]

Having a short bowl of 2020 Old Gowrie I had to open today after a second basement flooding of the year submerged a bunch of my tins. This tin was pretty soaked so I opened it. Everything else is hesitantly OK other than most of the labels fallen off.

Never had OG before. First bowl is positive.

@fireground_piper We've had bad flooding here in Chesterfield:

Sorry to hear about your flood damage:-( Hope you're OK.

Thanks to Jim I decided to buy and try the Cringle Flake 2023. I'm enjoying it out of my Crown Monarch CR1. First time trying a flake too.

I really like that pipe!
I think Peterson should take some cues from this, the colors are much better for the season.
I admit I spent the last few minutes looking for one to purchase, although the 9mm might deter me, but all locations I saw were sold out anyway.
Again, nice pipe.
Cheers

Thank you..... Definitely looks more like a pipe for the season over what the other manufacturers are offering this year. As for the 9mm filter, I toss it and smoke the pipe with the adapter. I only use the adapter because it makes the stem fit better than without it.

Charatan’s Make with Elizabethan mixture. It has a bit more than a touch of Perique.
