Great taste! Windjammer is delicious and Band of Brothers was simply amazing.
Smoking this ‘ere bowl of Chatham Manor in a Peterson Shamrock. Bought the tub a year ago this month. Not sure age helped with the taste.
Cringle Flake 2020 in a Altinay translucent meer.
Gawith, Hogarth &Co. Whisky Rope in an Ashton Sovereign X. Summer is finally here in Arizona and at 9:30pm the temperature has cooled down to 95 degrees F out on my patio. it’s a good time for a smoke.
Lane Limited Ready Rubbed in my Peterson B42 Darwin.
Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and am almost half way through this bowl of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a black tapered vulcanite stem. I just love this pipe! Working and listening to the Padres-Mets game. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Smoking my second bowl of 1.5 year old Haddo's Delight. Likely my last as I'm going to be selling/gifting the tin. I had INSANELY high hopes for this blend, sadly dashed. So far my experience with C&D/GLP is 2/8 liked, 6/8 gifted/sold. Not a great one.
A couple of minutes away from smoking D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite p-lip stem.

@Zepfan84 I recommend Gawith flake in a clay or they would have smoked twist back then.
My favourite pipe tobacco is Gawith Hoggarth cherry vanilla; I had a memorable smoke of it when I went to see Lace Wars at Cromford Mill in 2019 pre Covid19.
It went down well in my clay pipe!
Morning smoke of Mc Baren HH Burley flake in a Dunhill Root Briar mod 113 group 2 Long Billiard from 1966, smokes wonderfully this pipe,nontheless due to a length and modest chamber size, I recon this one would work best with the stronger dark fired flakes
@virkia You have a great collection of clay pipes!
I already knew that King Charles and King James both hated tobacco smoking (which would have been in a clay pipe back then).
I like the Counterblaste to Tobacco reference, I feel that smoking divided opinion even then!
I read somewhere that when King Charles I was executed, Parliamentarians knowing he hated tobacco blew pipe smoke in his face!
When the workplace smoking ban came in in 2007 I imagined a large group of English Civil War re-enactors going to the pub in costume, drinking ale and smoking a full tin / packet of pipe tobacco between them; they'd probably have smoked the pub out and I can almost smell all that pipe smoke!
One of the Lace Wars re-enactors was smoking Clan in his clay pipe; I thought it suited his character.
You once replied to my post saying that I would it would take me a long time to choose a clay pipe to break in, or just break!
I feel that if I was in the Sealed Knot I might have problems with controlling my clay pipe smoking and tobacco intake, probably be likely to demolish a full packet of pipe weed over a weekend!
They have a "No smoking on the battlefield" rule due to the explosion risk!
Smoking a clay pipe around the fire would be good fun though and solve the problem getting it lit!
Most likely to be Gawith Hoggarth in my clay pipe at re-enactments!
Just finished a night snack of Korean spicy braised chicken stew (Jjimdak). I'm about to step outside and fire up a bowl of 2012 Irish Flake in my MM Huck Finn.
Fed Suzy and Molly, and the outdoor feral cats, am brewing Community Coffee, and am now smoking Feuerwachter Enterprises Red Virginia Ribbon in a very small slight bent black sandblasted Smokers Forum.UK 2015 POTY Chris Askwith Prince 5 with a tapered black acrylic stem with a flared bit.
I managed to make that small bowl of Irish Flake last over 45 minutes! Enjoyed it with a Parallel 49 - Hillbilly Ninja Pale Ale. I've just poured myself a chaser of Forty Creek - Double Barrel Reserve whisky. I am feeling spoiled, tonight.
Just finished work and this bowl of year 2014 Astley’s No. 44 in a smooth slight bend dark brown 1940s-1950s Comoy’s Blue Riband 228C prince with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Last smoke of the day is the first bowl from a newly opened bag of year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Deep, rich, wonderful smell and taste with some sugar crystals to boot! Also, my very favorite pipe which has only seen Stonehaven the past eight years.
Good Morning Folks, Early Morning Pipe in a Dunhill Red Bark Zulu.
