@marconi I found the Erinmore Flake a damp squib and difficult to light; maybe I needed to dry it out a bit first. By contrast, I find Erinmore Mixture lighter in colour and burns too fast but not so much as Clan. Maybe if I mixed them together I'd get a slower burning pipe baccy...
I'd like to fill my largest clay pipe and see how long it takes to smoke. Do you think it matters if the pipe goes out and I have to relight it as this is against the rules of pipe smoking competitions???
I have never tried the mixture.The flake works well in a larger bowl pipe.It needs to dry straight out of the tin/Jar but don’t leave it too long as it loses its flavour.Some may say that’s a good thing.🤣 Definitely a Marmite blend you either love it or hate it.I loves it😋

@marconi Same here, once I've dried it out a bit. I'd like to fill my biggest clay pipe with flake and see how long it takes to smoke...

Oriental, Latakia Virginia Bright, Cyprus Latakia. In clay, with pils.
Wanted to try this for quite a while now. I used too much of the dark Cyprus Latakia but it's still a good smoke.
It's good when it happens good! On the side are some rubbed up flakes of the mead soaked Virginia Gold Lemon for the Clay King, drying out a little. I'm going to mix them with the other ingredients later and have a first taste of what the finished blend might turn out like. Really looking forward to it.

@Chaukisch Looking good; I really like your banded clay. I've been looking at the twine banded clay pipes at Smokingpipes.com and they remind me of yours. Just make sure you don't put the Latakia in the "Clay King":)

Having a clay double feature in honor of @AppalachianPiper92 - Happy belated Birthday!
Just finished some Oriental in one, the other is waiting with a load of my first aromatic because I'm in the mood for something sweet now.

I was with my grandmother all sunday, she invited me over for a huge and delicious traditional kale meal we have over here during this season, with lots of fat, sausages and different meats, cooked for hours.

It was also snowing that day, the first snow this season and very fitting for the occasion. Afterwards we had some nice conversation, homemade cookies and many rounds of Rummikub. Good times.


Sure looks similar, it seems to have thicker chamber walls. More people are enjoying a clay pipe now,
I like that! puffy
I have some dear friends from Germany who cook traditional German food very so often, I get invited over and enjoy it. Lots of sausages and German potato salad. I will bring my clay over next time and show them your post. Yum!

About a third of the way through this 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
