@LotusEater I took my clay pipe's temperature onceA thermometer can be very accurate but no matter how hard you try it won’t tell tell you how much something weights
Marlin Flake in a sandblasted Peterson SH Lestrade.
@AlanH I've smoked some Full Virginia Flake in my clay pipes; I feel that Gawith flake is very well suited to clays. Can you imagine how many clay pipes have been smoked with Gawith tobacco over the years???
Mississippi River Special Reserve Flake in a cob.
When I smoke my Willards, I reflect on our troops that were in Vietnam and how much comfort their Willard pipes must have brought them.
2012 Wessex Brown Virginia Flake in a Jack Howell Dublin.
Evening smoke of G&H Co Rum flake in a Falcon
GH&Co Black Cherry Twist in a No Name Italian Meerschaum lined beater I replaced the stem and repaired the insert on.
Halfdan, i have a question for you, since you are the expert on clay pipes. Or anyone else who has the answer. My new clay has a tiny crack at the base where bowl and stem meet. I tried to get a picture of it but it isn't too good. The pen points to it. It is across the width of the stem, but does not go all the way around. I put pencil marks at each end to watch any progress. 
It may have been there when I got it and it just missed it or may be new. My question is, is this pipe a lost cause? Before someone gets wise and asks, no, there's no smoke coming out the crack.

My brother was run over by an Afghan woman and dragged 100 feet under her car. It broke more bones than Evil Keneval did in his entire career. He lost much of his sensory ability and laid in the hospital with an open abdomen for over a month before they could close him up. Countless surgeries later with much of his tendons and bones reversed ordered so he can move, one of his few pleasures is smoking Cult Blood Moon. He is back at work where he installs programs for a major defense contractor- working on advanced weapons that he can never discuss. It is the simple things in life that matter the most.
OMG! My prayers are with him for sure! The man I almost married was killed in Vietnam. Our service members need our love and support.
Sorry if that was too off topic. I'll behave.
Who cares if the toilet doesn't flush?! I would never give up a view like that LOL.
@Carol Not sure, it may be to do with the moulding.
The part where the bowl joins the stem appears to be the weak point with clay pipes as this is where they always break...
I've lost count of how many clay pipes I have broken...
Ok. Thanks. I'll see what happens.
St Bruno Flake in a Kaywoodie Silhouette billiard. I smoke the ready Rubbed version of this almost daily. I'm terrible with drying tobacco out and often will skip over blends I love because I don't want to wait half an hour for it to dry out enough. I have a new pipe on the way that should be getting delivered any minute now. I was hoping it was here in time for this smoke.
After a week of snow and ice, I was finally able to get in a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.
This finish stands out more, I noticed a little too many dark parts in the previous one (IMHO)
