Dan this is the pipe I used. It was Capstan Blue. I'm sure you would like it. I've never tried the yellow tin

Close to finishing this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
@Carol Nice pipe; is it a Markus Fohr clay?
Thanks for the tobacco recommendation; I like a nice Virginia in my clays.
One of the reviews on the Smokingpipes website states that Capstan Flake Yellow has a lemongrass flavour so it would definitely suit the King's clay.
A shame we couldn't meet for some of your homemade mead and some tobacco - in a clay of course
If I was in the Sealed Knot the Jamestown clays would be my chosen pipe.
I'm keeping the one I smoked at Nantwich (after I broke my Hardcastle clay while tipping the ash out) for re-enactments.
Might get some more from Smokingpipes - and something to smoke in them - if I was taking part in clay pipe era re-enactments.
@Chasing Embers I smoked a packet of Captain Black Royal that @condorlover1 sent me in my clay pipes; he calls it Captain Crap
I don't think they make the CB Grape any more.
Altinay Rusticated Dublin Meer with C&D Pegasus.
Cup of Kenya black tea accompanying.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Sutliff Presbyterian Ordained in a straight smooth brown walnut 1980s James Upshall P pot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just posted my review at TR along with a few others.
It was discontinued a few years ago sadly.
@Chasing Embers I smoked a packet of it in my clay pipes; again sent by @condorlover1. I think it didn't sell as it wasn't a traditional pipe baccy flavour. Perhaps the Clay King's palate is more refined now
A shame Chaukisch has disappeared as he said he was making me a special "Clay King" clay pipe blend...
A nice afternoon, so PS luxury navy flake in, what else but the Georg Jensen Admiral, with shark destroyer hazy IPA, listening to pipes magazine podcast, and cleaning last week’s worth of pipes.
@Scottmi There's only one of these pipes I'd consider smoking
I enjoyed the Luxury Navy Flake in my clay pipes.
Although pipe baccy is much cheaper online from the USA, if I bought a pound or half a pound I'd probably smoke it all and have none left for the re-enactments I'd bought it for...
Cornell and Diehl Night Train in a 9mm Butz Choquin bent Billiard.
PS Nougat in my meer with some bourbon. 
Very nice knife! I went and looked up the company on the Internet. Very cool offering of not only knives, but fine leather goods.
@BlueRidge Is it right you just slice the twist into coins and then rub it out?
That's what I did when I bought some Gawith brown twist to smoke in my clay pipe at the Battle of Nantwich.
The rubbed out baccy was in larger pieces than commercial Ready Rubbed blends; is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
@Laurent This is the pipeweed used in the Lord of the Rings films. I've smoked it in my clay pipes and I really like the taste & flavours. I'll have to get some more when I order from Smokingpipes again.
First pipe of the year. Been busy plus it’s been raining a ton! And it’s been so long I got signed out of the forum.
Did have a fun conversation with a friend in Friday about the absolute necessity of having Cuban rum with Cuban cigars. It is on our to do list when he returns from some traveling.
Pete Aran with Father Dempsey.
Hope everyone’s well.

@Brewfan There was still a bit of snow on the ground in Staffordshire and Cheshire yesterday. Not had much here in my part of Derbyshire although the higher ground has had some.
Am passing the first third of this bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Getting ready to watch an episode of McCloud.
