Smoking more McClelland Brindle Flake in a Bjarne. Man, I forgot how good this one is, definitely one of my favorite McClelland Virginias. Age has been very kind to this particular tin. Last year I was completely underwhelmed by an old Red & Black tin I smoked through, I’m hoping that was just one off.

KBV Anne Cap in a 1931-1967 BBB Wyteway Billiard with a vulcanite stem.

If epitome is the correct choice in wording, Cavendish to me is the epitome of pipe tobacco, one of the best representations as to what pipe tobacco is.

Of course, certain English and Aros, I believe fill similar roles, of historical references, meaning what people over the centuries have come to recognize as pipe tobacco.

I’m so much in love with cavendish, I’d love to have the vast majority of my blends filled with cavendish like this blend, or similar.

I can really see myself in an old English pub and a clay with this @halfdan and Sir Thomas Cavendish, for whom Cavendish is named after, was an English Explorer. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Cavendish, certainly has an English vibe to me.

A little reading for those that know little to nothing about Cavendish.

To halfdan and all the Cavendish lovers! :)

Be well everyone! ❤️

@PipeIT I think SG Black Forest is the pipe baccy closest to my imagined "Clay King" clay pipe blend:
Currently out of stock though...

Passing the quarter mark on this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff Revelation Match in a straight smooth brown post-WWII Kingsway (Comoy’s) London Made 61 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Working and listening to one of my favorite shows, Information Please, from my radio collection.
