My wife snuck a pic of me enjoying a bowl of Amphora Burley on a pretty, 60 degree day.
Pipe by Lee rusticated - two star five pointed. Telescopes is my blend.
Solani - ABF in a Country Gentleman Cob.
Dan Tobacco Patriot Flake in a Jack Howell Paneled Billiard.
Enjoyed a very tasty nine slices of cinnamon raisin French toast with a sliced peach on the side. I've about a quarter of a bowl left of John Aylesbury Scottish Blend in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a brown pearl acrylic stem. Lavazza Espresso, neat, is my drink.
All the chores are done including moving the sheep to new grass, what’s left of it. Wonderful opportunity for an afternoon smoke. Grabbed the vintage H&B Irwin S Cobb and some Sutliff J4 Burley. Brewing up a strong pour-over cup of coffee.
Looks more like a "trippy" Bulldog!
Well, are you the proud owner a “new” crepe maker?Waiting at a truck stop at 11pm on the mountain pass heading out of town to pick up a crepe maker from a guy I’ve never met before. If this is my last post, I’m smoking salty dogs in an Orlik corona
Our own Resident Royalty, the King of Clay, was recently observed to state a concern over the smokability of his blend. The flakes of the Virginia Gold Lemon leaves that were soaked with lemon peel infused mead are still in the process of carefully drying, currently jarred up to settle. First I took the liberty of opening the jar and taking a whiff. Incredible!!! It smells exactly like a sweet and fluffy lemon cake.
Totally unexpected, just like that intense chocolate aroma that my first aromatized concoction produced.
I rubbed and carefully heated them up. That Virginia hay smell came out and was quite strong for a short while but didn't last. That lemon cake smell proved to be more powerful and took over the reign again.
The Clay King's blend can only be tasted in a clay pipe. If you put it into a briar it would turn into clay.
I can't quite describe the taste of it. It certainly is sweet and all around pleasant. There is this certain taste to it...
Almost like a sweeter Perique?! There is that pepper-y taste but with much more sweetness to it and to be honest I'm a little confused right now.
I want to mix the leftovers with the other ingredients of the Clay King blend to get an idea of what the finished product might be like. I still have to read up on stoving, which I plan to do very soon.
Not only my aromatized tobaccos but also raw leaf, I want to see how raw Burley, Kentucky and Virginia change after stoving.
It's all very exciting to me, the tiniest bit of process seems to have a major influence on the finished product.
And then the pipe material comes into play. And then the style of smoking. And pipe shapes.
Where does it end? Does it ever?

Good day all! Starting with C&D Blockade Runner in a Nachwalter flame grain Canadian size 4.
Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. Just posted six reviews of John Aylesbury blends at TR.
A Peterson Shamrock, an old but great smoker, filled with KBV Butterfluff, glass of ice water. Reading while listening to classical music.
Packed my kaywoodie silhouette billiard with St Bruno, but it's my jar of ready Rubbed which is mostly kinda dried out from me putting leftovers from other pouches of St Bruno in it, as well as the bottom of my St Bruno Flake jar. There's definitely less topping this way, but I like the topping.
The Country Squire's Northwest Trek in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes XL15 Bent Bulldog.
Did a second set of walks, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Now smoking year 2013 Capstan Gold in a post-WWII Bertram 60 straight smooth dark brown squat bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
