***What Are You Smoking, May 2022?***

[The Clay King]

2 year old Mac Baren Virginia No. 1 in a long sandblast Canadian. No name, but if I had to guess it’s a Loewe or Comoy’s. Has a circle COM Made in England which is a Loewe style, but the sandblast reminds me of Comoy’s sandblast.

It’s a fabulous smoker, and the price was right… free. Came in a box of old pipes a friend gave me. Based on the age of the pipes in the box, I would guess this to be a 1960’s pipe.

I had to make a new stem for it, so I went a little long on it to give it even more length.

@craig61a I enjoyed the Mac Baren Virginia No. 1 in my clay pipes. Been volunteering with Don Catchment Rivers Trust today, I got into my waders and went in the river. Got 1 bag of rubbish and helped collect 3 tyres, a long metal pole and a discarded CD stereo. Not seen one for years.
Now to get that cigar down my throat!!!

Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of year 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. I'm a third of the way through the bowl. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Did a set of walking reps on this cloudy day, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Time for lunch!

GLP Windjammer in a Savinelli 707. I forgot how rummy bowls from a fresh tin can be; it’s like a slice of babka.
