How's it smoking? Better than the Altinay?

@Steddy I enjoyed it in my clay pipes; going to order some more from Smokingpipes next time. Thinking of trying MacBaren Vanilla Cream and some more Virginia / Cavendish; might have a go at mixing my own "Clay King" clay pipe blend.

Watching the arsenal take on oxford utd. Should be down the pub watching it but it’s too cold, wet & miserable to stand outside in the ‘smoker friendly’ beer garden.

@simong I've tried the St Bruno Flake in my clay pipes; I was unimpressed with the amount of plastic packaging so won't be buying it here again; the USA version from Smokingpipes comes in a metal tin. A lot cheaper as well
My first St Bruno Flake was included in a box of tobacco @marconi sent me; it was @Birddog66 who suggested I order bulk tobacco from Smokingpipes. Going to get some more Cornell & Diehl bulk blends and I'd like to try the MacBaren Vanilla Cream in my clay pipes. I bet it smells and tastes delicious!

@Fralphog I enjoyed the Old Dark Fired in my clay pipes; @Chasing Embers recommends it if I got a giant clay to find out how much they hold and how long it takes to smoke. Your meer looks like the clay pipes with a separate stem that I got from @condorlover1.

@halfdan ,
ODF is a wonderful baccy and smokes great in this little Meer. I found this pipe through a recommendation of @condorlover1.
Take care!

@Chasing Embers Last month @Chaukisch was making me a personal clay pipe blend but he's disappeared from the forum.
I've found a few commercial tobaccos that meet the "Clay King" specification; MacBaren Vanilla Cream looks a close call but the baccy most like it is SG Black Forest.

Tonight I’m having a little Mac Baren Virginia Flake in my Lee Von Erck pipe with an old fashion.
