***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

[The Clay King]

I like clays. Archaeological proof off the good life, littered at every dig in the western world. I've done a fair bit of historical reenactment in the US and the dedication that the ECW people bring to bear is really impressive.

@rmcnabb I'm looking to get into living history re-enactment!

First ever try of Exclusive... in my Moonshine Long Devil Anse, with a Hazy IPA and pint of water to keep me steady.

@Scottmi Do you think it would suit the King's Clay?

My neighbour John brought the Clay King 5 packets of Clan back from Spain! Gonna get a clay bowl down my throat now!

@Scottmi Do you think it would suit the King's Clay?

Yes, Dan, I believe it would!

Getting ready for some British boxing, with some pre-1910 bulldogs and a Larsen Copenhagen (for the wife) all loaded with my own various English blends....

 

[The Clay King]

Yes, Dan, I believe it would!

@Scottmi All Gawith baccy suits the King's Clay (unless it contains Latakia)...

More Sutliff 507C Virginia Slices in a Grabow Royalton, which has kinda become my default dog walking pipe lately.




The more I smoke this blend the more I like it! Sutliff's Virginia Slices are easily the most naturally lemony bright Virginia I've ever smoked, and it's just darn fantastic stuff. The only complaint I could really make about it is that it does burn a little fast and hot when fully rubbed out, so next time I smoke it I'm gonna try just folding and stuffing a flake and seeing how that goes. I'm sure I won't have to wait too long to try though, since I could smoke this blend all day long!

I spent some quality time with my Saturday ZOOM buddies as I smoked my Cellini (Victory Pipe Craftsmen) pocket pipe, a pipe I carried to all my undergrad classes at DePaul University and was able to smoke in most classes. I filled it with a tobacco I often smoked back in those days, from a 55-year-old tub of Wine Cured No. 11. The tobacco was a scorcher back then, but has mellowed quite nicely, although still has a slight bite.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the first third of this bowl of first release Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a black sandblasted straight 1998 XXX Ashton Pebble Grain lovat with a black acrylic saddle stem. Been watching the Dodgers-Reds game with the two scampers snoozin' by my side. As much as I like them, I wish somebody had wanted to give them a home.

GL Pease Sextant in a Celebi Meer. Made for each other!

Pennyfarthing in a Nutten's Bing. Pennyfarthing doesn't always work for me, but it is absolutely amazing this evening. Getting a really nice juicy quality with dark undertones. A magical evening with the kids in a great mood and being really silly and funny. One of those nights that makes you really appreciate your life.

Off to work with a bowl of Wilke Picket’s Charge in a post-WW2 straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 3 bulldog with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. This blend is Wall Street with much less perique (10%) than the regular W.S. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Listening to The Lone Ranger from my radio collection.
