***What Are You Smoking, March 2023?***

[Ben.R.C]

Enjoyed some snacking, and am part way through this bowl of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

[The Clay King]

Sutliff Anomalous in a Penn Valley Gouda Clay.

The tin note after sitting for a while gives raisins, citrus and lemon. Upon lighting and smoking for while, the predominant flavor is raisins. The Red Virginia follows up as a secondary one after the initial draw. Has sweet, full mouthfeel.

There is a nutty, full bass note from the Burley and Cavendish. At about the halfway point I’m noticing a sharp spicy note. I’m just lazily smoking this, not really trying to pick out any nuances.

I will say that it was worth the effort to grab some if this as it is very unusual - a very pleasant smoke…

@craig61a Nice pipe; good to see so many clays on this forum!

 

[The Clay King]

Good morning Pipesmagazine peoples, I am smoking Sutliff Mello Peach which will be followed by D&R Three Sails in an Old German "bishop & knight" clay.

Good day all! Started with Peterson Elizabethan Mixture in a now-dedicated Upshall P Dublin with beveled smooth rim and pencil shank with tapered stem. Very nice. Now turning to a bowl of Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls in a small Upshall sandblast Bulldog with smooth rim and hex shank with saddle stem size 4.

@JimK I smoked a clay bowl of Elizabethan Mixture at Nottingham Pipe Show last year. Very well suited to my clay in memory of Queen Elizabeth II.

I went out to smoke Old Toby in my new Hungarian and never got to light it as I heard a noise to my right ... I looked up on the hill and saw a HUGE fox jump up on a fallen tree to cross over ... it turned and looked at me for a few seconds ... its whole upper body was a reddish brown and its thicker hind quarters was shedding its greyish brown winter coat. It was the size of a small shepherd or coyote (not as tall but as thick). Beautiful animals and they walk through the woods like a ballerina ... very light quiet footfalls. The coyotes are louder and brash. The Coywolves are the biggest (wolf size) and totally silent and stroll through the area like they own it ... very proud and majestic and meticulously clean and groomed like they just stepped out of a salon ... like lions. They fear nothing. I had one in my yard once not 10 feet from me and it totally ignored me as I clearly wasn't a threat. There is a dear trail that runs through the back of the property that they all hunt regularly. There are two packs ... one of coyotes and one of foxes down by the river...you can hear them periodically at night going for water ... at least 8-12 in each pack. What a sight !! ... now back to that Old Toby and colombian coffee ...

@Hillcrest I enjoyed the Old Toby in my clay pipes. I must have felt like Gandalf smoking it in a clay pipe in Cromford churchyard

Trying Doblone d’Oro in my wartime meer lined Flame Grain.
Pretty dry from a freshly cracked 2021 tin, I like the strength level, body, and flavor but needs much tending and relights. Maybe I need to figure out the pack better.
