Back on the pipe after a 10 day break. Continuing my Year of Virginia exploration with MacBaren HH Pure Virginia in a Savinelli Noce 207. 
Excellent! It's all about circular breathing
Did a set of walking reps on this beautiful, warm sunny day, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Running errand with these three Hislon sisters loaded with three different virginias.

@PipeWI The Clay King still can't blow smoke rings though!Excellent! It's all about circular breathing
Sadly, neither can I, but I can create a big bank of smoke
@PipeWI I like to make a big cloud of smoke with my clay pipe - how is it done?
I just take a BIG drag on my pipe and REALLY get the fire going, fill my mouth with pipe smoke and blow it out in a BIG cloud!
Smoked all my pipe baccy now; not buying any more until I go to Buxton next week.

I really like him and have stood next to him a few times.
One time I blew him a bit of pipe smoke from my clay; I think he enjoyed the smell of it!

Now smoking John Aylesbury Spring Edition 2022 in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic saddle stem. Working on a review of this blend.
2016 Davidoff Flake Medallions in a MM Diplomat cob
@halfdan, Not sure about clay pipes. I favor a briar with a big bowl, so volume of tobacco may be a factor. I do know that slow and careful lighting and drawing is crucial or else the coal burns too hot and, paradoxically, the volume of smoke goes down. Keep us posted on your experiments!
Reiner - Blend 71: Long Golden Flake in a HCA Stanwell and a Cup of Joe.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of KBV Prince of Wales in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow with white swirls acrylic saddle stem. Working on a review of this blend. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
