Aside from the nice pipe, just don't see wicker that much anymore...
Granger in an Old Dominion Laughing King with a mug of black coffee.
No, not really. Just Castello’s take on a liverpool. It appears to have a very slight forward cant due to the shaping of the bowl. The chamber is vertical.
Sutliff 1849 in a Savinelli church warden
King's Pipe and Cigar - King's Flake from a BBB "Ultonia"
All the wicker furniture on our back patio is probably 30 years old now. And yes, you almost never see it these days.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am nearing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Gold Star Jamaican Estate Reserve, neat, is my drink. It's time for my weekly Sunday pipe zoom.
Smoked a bowel of C&D Briar Fox in a Ser Jacopo at McCranie’s in Charlotte NC. 
I always thought that your profile picture was an old picture of some famous pipe smoker I didn’t recognize. Had no idea it was actually you
Glad you’re asymptomatic and feeling well

I smoked a clay pipe with the guy on the left in this picture at Bolsover Castle in 2019 (once I managed to get it lit

Another "Condor Moment" from the 2009 event:
Looking at taking part in a weekend event in the next year or two; I'll be taking my Jamestown clays and something to smoke in them. @simong suggests SG Cannon Plug for the Sealed Knot events, or any twist / plug. My local tobacconist in Chesterfield sells GH twist loose; 20g was more than enough for the day in Nantwich. Finished it now - Man it went down well!

Do you think the Sealed Knot are ready for the Clay King?
I sure understand that. I smoked a bowl of Capstan Flake in a clay, and now I'm looking over seed catalogs, and reading fly fishing stories.
@Carol Which clay were you smoking - and is it the Capstan Flake Blue or Yellow as Smokingpipes lists both? Do you recommend them to the Clay King, as they're Virginia blends so would be well suited to the King's clay?I sure understand that.

cut up some Brown Bogie for a wvss marked small billiard. @Carol by this time next month I'll officially be done with winter even though our last frost is mid May.
