First ever smoke of C & D 5 O'clock Shadow. Popped a tin from 2021 the other night and let it rest in a jar for a couple days, which has been my move for all C & D blends for a few years now. I packed it into a Briarworks bent apple and this may be love at first smoke. I can't describe what I'm tasting but I'm really digging it. Glad I bought a few tins on impulse a couple years ago. Might need a couple dozen more.

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2010 FVF in a 2002 three quarter bend light brown sandblasted Ardor Urano Fatta A Mano eight sided paneled shaped bulldog sitter with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Going to read for a while.

@PrivatePiping I LOVE your pipe; I was smoking 1792 Flake in my clay at Nottingham Pipe Show and the Battle of Nantwich - I think Gawith tobacco is VERY well suited to clays!
Thank you! I've only had the one smoke in it so far, but it was very good! It's definitely a different experience than smoking from briars.

@PrivatePiping Definitely a unique experience but as I've only smoked non-clay pipes a couple of times I can't say! Need to get some fresh pipe baccy before meeting Jason the blacksmith again:)
