I'm a bird guy, so I can appreciate that.
I got 2 in the late 70s-early 80s when they first came out.
Gave the Anne Julie designed "golf ball" to my brother.
Sadly he no longer smokes after his heart attack some years ago.
He is doing well - after watching his diet, walking an hour every day and losing a heap of weight.
Having a partner who was an ex-Australian Ballroom dancing champ keeps him on his toes
Mixture 79 in an Old German clay. I think I like this stuff, I kind of like the old timey root beer smell. I'll time my clay smoke for @halfdan

According to the name on the photo, she should be named Brunnhilde, which is quite a Northern Europe or Wagner's name, derived from the Nibelungen ring. Her keepers deliberately imitated stage stills from the early 20th century.This feline is clearly from “Purrr-sia”
or maybe Cat-Mandu!
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
The music used when this character appeared is quite famous, and it appears in many movies, the most famous of which is this one:
Mac Baren - Amphora Original Blend in a Talamona Bulldog
@canucklehead Nice pipe and carved tamper; I like the relief moulded clays. I'll have to get a relief moulded clay. I had one similar but it got broken...Mixture 79 in an Old German clay. I think I like this stuff, I kind of like the old timey root beer smell. I'll time my clay smoke for @halfdan

@OzPiper Definitely an interesting pipe! I'll have to try blending pipe baccy; I'd like to make a "Clay King" blend with a golden coloured Virginia / Cavendish. The commercial pipe baccy most like "Clay King" is SG Black Forest.A second bowl in this Franken-clay - Cutty clay bowl, bamboo extension, acrylic tortoise shell stem with silver ferrule

A home blend of Edoterica Tilbury, C&D red Virginia and Sam Gawith’s blending Perique
Proportion: 40:40:20 %
Not quite the raisiny, figgy plummy profile I was after
Back to the drawing board
Bob, I used to put a little dab of that in my hair back in the day (a little more than 60 years ago).View attachment 213115
Beautiful 25 mile cruise around the neighborhood! Ended at my favorite coffee shop...My kind of afternoon!
@canucklehead How long did it take you to smoke? I managed 37 minutes out of a clay pipe of St Bruno yesterday.Mixture 79 in an Old German clay. I think I like this stuff, I kind of like the old timey root beer smell. I'll time my clay smoke for @halfdan

The April thread is up and running, see. See ya dere, see. Myeah!
I'll have to have a bowl of SG Black Forest in the clay next.
Smoking GH & Co. Scotch Flake this rainy morning on my balcony in my NY hotel. My smoking companion doesn’t talk much.
@canucklehead Not bad going; you did well. I can smoke a cigarette in one drag like Tom; cruel to Jerry using him to lick his cigarette paper...
Tom & Jerry couldn't be tamed down; they wouldn't be the same without the cartoon violence
Dad says Tom & Jerry are more violent than Rambo
You weren't smoking as fast as these guys:
@OzPiper Highly recommended by the Clay King himself!I'll have to have a bowl of SG Black Forest in the clay next.
Maybe Gawith need a Royal Warrant
