Awesome, thanks.
Enjoying some 2013 FVF as a special treat in this Comoy's 309XL. Let it dry out for 5 minutes and only took me 39 matches to get a true light!

It will be like water off a duck's back ?
HH Latakia flake ! It’s close to 4 years old now and is quite mellow.
I didn’t intentionally age it as much as I lost track of the jar it was in.
Either way it worked out well.

I rather enjoyed it, neither it nor the Black XX were anything like I expected. They're very different from the GH offerings. The brown was very mellow, only slightly spicy. It had a distinct burley undertone, I couldn't tell it was Kentucky. I did spot the cigar leaf. I did smoke it before reading any reviews, or knowing what was in it.
@weezell Looks like your taking after me with the hat and the clay pipeGawith Hoggarth & Co.: Brown Irish X in a Clay...
I think Gawith tobacco is very well suited to clay pipes; I celebrated Bonfire Night with some Newminster in a clay. Going to smoke another clay bowl before going to bed!
Just had my first bath in my new bathroom!

@hairvise I enjoyed the Full Virginia Flake in my clay pipes!
Nice as it is I get seasick looking at that pipe.
yeah it's a great one. It's an aromatic but in a way where it really compliments the natural qualities of the tobacco and brings them out. It's like adding sugar to tea. It doesn't make the tea taste like something else just sweeter and brings out more flavor instead of covering it up. Really enjoyable blend and quite easy to smoke through a tin of it.

With about five minutes of Guy Fawkes night (5th November 1605) remaining I thought it would be an idea to post a pic of a typical c.1600-1610 pipe.
This example with mid-late 1800s brass ferrule and horn stem added to the portion ...
... alongside three example from c.1570-1590 showing the original tiny bowl sizes of the first clay pipes that were made in the UK ...
... compared to the more generous bowl size of c.1620-1640 which reflected the considerable easing of the price of tobacco

Having some English Luxury in a Kaywoodie Redroot for the evening puff on this rather cool night. Enjoy your pipes and your evening folks!
