***What Are You Smoking, February 2021?***

You may ask how I knew it was he that bought them...
All I can say is that t'was nothing more than that small vertical black line on the front pipe bowl in photo #2 - and photo #4 - plus the time elapsed from the end of the auction with delivery from the U.K. to the U.S.

The one I smoked did pretty good. They are definitely, for my taste and money, the way to go for a clay.

I picked up a 1/2 pound a couple of years ago to age. Time in a jar does wonders for the blend. Do you stack the coins or rub out?

Stack.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, barramundi and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm part way through this bowl of year 2010 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

I've lost count of how many packets of Condor Ready Rubbed I've smoked in my clay pipes!

Finished the day with a bowl of C&D Dreams of Kaddath in (yet another) unfinished imperfect. Still on the fence about this... may take a few more tins to decide.

Close to finishing this bowl of Low Country Pipe & Cigar Rum in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black ferrule and vulcanite stem in the military mount style.

Did a little snacking, and am part way through this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Going to work now.
