If you cut down on tobacco you’ll have to change your new name Dan. Or take up ceramics .
Merry Christmas my friend.

@Birddog66 I think "Clay King" sounds like a pipe baccy; I imagine it being a golden coloured Virginia / Cavendish blend. I think SG Black Forest is the closest to my imagined "Clay King" clay pipe blend:

Samuel Gawith Black Forest Mixture Pipe Tobacco (50g Tin)

Samuel Gawith Black Forest Mixture Pipe Tobacco (50g Tin), available at Black Swan Shoppe

I think it's very good in a clay pipe!

That thing looks brand new practically, and such a nice, well defined shape compared to other dunny bulls I’ve seen!

Never was a Bulldog fan, but just happened to see this guy on eBay one day. Seller wasn't even a "pipe guy", just an antique/estate dealer.
I could tell by the pics it was in good shape but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. Only needed a light cleanup- $120 won it.

Pipe Force VI, a limited Sutliff release, still available and I find it to be excellent! Nice and strong too!
