2014 McClelland Balkan Blue in a Stanwell Plateau 62B
On a quest to find a burley blend I like, some HH burley flake in a Charatan Exec. What makes this blend good to me is the Kentucky in it 
I want to like a burley blend for the burley itself or at least prove I just don’t like it.

Wessex Brigade Series Classic Virginia Natural Flake in a Castello Old Antiquarui Hawkbill.
PS English Oriental Supreme this afternoon. Jarred 8/14.
Mac Baren pure Virginia in a Ser Jacopo apple
Did 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 tapered black vulcanite stem.
C&D Winchester in a small Hardcastle clay pipe and GH brown twist in a Jamestown clay.
The Jamestown clays look perfect for the English Civil War period (1640s).
Unfortunately I broke my Hardcastle clay...
I met a fellow smoker from the Sealed Knot and gave him a smoke of both my clays; his name was James and we enjoyed talking, drinking and smoking together.
He said he enjoyed his smoke and showed me how to dump the ash from a clay pipe without breaking it. Hold the pipe by the stem across the back of your other hand and GENTLY tap the ash out.
Our beers
and pipes went down very well!
James said he got a mild baccy rush from the clay pipe smoke and on this cold but dry day we both needed a good warming blast of pipe smoke to stoke our fires; he said the twist tasted smoother than the Winchester.

I’m familiar with store bought scrapple. Do you make a homemade scrapple from deer?
Happy New Year, my friend. Your wife is a gem. I had a lllf back in the seventies, but sold it, and the increase in value has prevented me from replacing it. I think I paid $150 back in 1972. Today I have a refurbished Fed 1d from 1940, one of the last made before the Wehrmacht forced the factory to move east. Enjoy!
That pipe ain't bad either!
Smoking a bowl of Amphora Virginia in a big Rossi bulldog, just burning up some yard waste.
The chamber is 3" deep, but, not particularly wide. Last night’s smoke was just a little over three hours, but, I didn’t use up a full two ounce tin—I rubbed a couple of good chunks of Spark Plug out—it has rather large pieces of leaf in it, so it burns much more slowly than ribbon. I’ll try weighing the amount I fill next time and report back.
Just passing the quarter mark on a bowl from a freshly opened tin of 2022 G&H Rum Flake in a 2014 straight MM Missouri Pride Legend with a black plastic stem. Never photographed my cobs. Probably should. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
@Paul lec I gave Jane my support worker the log from my table decoration for her fire after Christmas.
Had a pint of Robinson's Unicorn and some GH brown twist in an Old Dominion Jamestown clay pipe. Shared it with one of the Sealed Knot re-enactors at the Battle of Nantwich today.
Sitting in the beer
garden with my pewter tankard and my Jamestown clay pipe of GH brown twist & with the church bells ringing it was like we'd gone back in time!
G&H Best Brown #2 in a Unfinished Savinelli 673
Late morning with some ERG in a Johnson, also getting ready for playoffs, coffee now, getting IPA’s cold and some Old Forester if needed. Contemplating dinner. Enjoy the weekend everyone!
