Beautiful photos, you are blessed to have such an amazing view!Laid out some Sam's Flake to dry a bit before loading in my BriarWorks 10th Anniversary Blasted Zulu. Wife caught some nice photos this afternoon between rain showers--my smoke shack/screen porch/catio is there at the right (west end) of the house. In a window you can see me loading some Shepherd's Pie at the time.

Amazing pipe! Does it have a straight tenon or army/spigot mount?
That’s wonderful that you’re local to them. I’m hoping to get a chance to go to Montreal one day.
I enjoyed some Exclusive in the Meerschaum this morning.
@The Clay King I had some Luxury Navy Flake in the clay last night. Pretty good but I think it's a bit dry. I have to rehydrate it a bit

CAO Meerschaum from early 80s with Grousemoor Plug on a windy cold morning.
@Tate Sent you a PM; going to smoke another clay now!
Picked 4 bags of rubbish & got bought 1/2 pint of Real Ale today. Got 45p in points towards another free pint!

4hrs into the workday and the no name Dane is now delivering the essences of GH&Co Rum (Jamaican) Flake.
Capstan Blue 2019, bowl ten in the micro-speckled meer. Bit of detritus has been making its way around the filter, not good, hope it’s just a fluke. Parting with it would be annoying, but if a filtered pipe isn’t filtering, it has little point in my collection, even with its interesting qualities.

@Scottmi I'd drink that beer & smoke that clay!
@telescopes I like your outfit & pipe! Grousemoor Plug is good in a clay. Saving the 1792 Flake until the Sealed Knot Battle of Nantwich in just over 2 weeks; I think it will be very well suited to the occasion. Gawith tobacco is MADE for clays!
Just over a quarter of a bowl left of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Watching the pilot movie for Ironside. The character was more crusty, acerbic, difficult, over bearing and kind of rude than he was in the regular series. I like this version better.
Next!

I'm not sure if I would call it pure or boring, it's a one-dimensional smoke.
I suspect it's a straight Virginia blend. I'm getting some Virginia sweetness, perhaps a bit of hay. I'll try it again later to see if I can pick up on more flavors.

@FoggyMorning Sounds a bit like Yorktown to me; I was smoking Yorktown at the Redcoats & Revolutionaries event at Cromford Mill last year when Jason the blacksmith lit my clay with an ember from his forge!

Haven't smoked any Yorktown for a while, maybe it's time to revisit it.
