Wessex Gold Virginia Flake in an Altinay.
@Birddog66 Had a fantastic day at the Battle of Nantwich; met a lot of the Sealed Knot re-enactors & got to try 2 helmets on! Met 2 Sealed Knot members I'd smoked a clay with when I met them before, at Bolsover Castle in 2019 & Nottingham Pipe Show in 2022. One of the Musketeers lit my clay pipe of 1792 Flake with his match cord. Gave one of the Sealed Knot a smoke of my long clay pipe loaded with 1792 Flake - I think he was putting the smoke on when I photographed him
@Cloozoe 1792 Flake in a clay at the Sealed Knot Battle of Nantwich yesterday. I think this is a baccy very well suited to the King's Clay. One of the musketeers lit my clay with his match cord and I got to try 2 helmets on! Met 2 re-enactors I'd smoked a clay with before; at the 2019 Sealed Knot event at Bolsover Castle and 2022 Nottingham Pipe Show. Both of them remembered the Clay King! The Clay King smoked a clay of 1792 Flake at last year's Nottingham Pipe Show as well - it definitely suits the King's Clay!
Last time there was a King Charles people wore wide brimmed hats and smoked clay pipes; I'm definitely keeping the "clay pipe of Gawith" tradition going in the reign of King Charles III!
2013 Esoterica Stonehaven in the mystery meer.
@renfield A great pipe & tobacco combination; I'll have to order 25g of Cannon Plug next time I go to see the Sealed Knot!
Eltang Basic Rusticated Poker and some Kramer’s Father Dempsey.
@Carol I love that clay pipe!
Good plan! Rumor has it that sticking with Charles I might be a bad play.
A third of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Wessex Gold Brick in an undated straight black sandblasted Kevin Arthur brandy with a multi-colored accent on the white acrylic saddle stem. This pipe was originally owned by Sante “FishnBanjo” Guiliani. This will get me to dinner time.
I've never smoked G&H Dark Shag so I can't answer your question. I'd be surprised if it was similar due to the toppings on Stonehaven.I’ve not been able to get my hands on Stonehaven yet but I’ve heard it’s similar to GH Dark Shag, can you comment on that please Jim
SG FVF Burnt ends in the Falcon meer

Getting ready for Jaime Munguia vs. John Ryder... several pipes and several of my own blends. Have a good night friends!
I can tell you, I love the pipes you post here. You have beautiful examples of vintage American pipes.If I’m remembering correctly it’s from around 1920 but what with the creeping senility and all I might be wrong as well as jealous
