Just passing the half way point of this bowl of C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Reading conflicting testimony about JFK's murder from eyewitnesses. All these years later, it's still hard to know what exactly happened.

2017 McClelland #2015 Virginia Perique Flake in a 2018 Peterson St. Patrick’s Day 106. I stripped and re-stained the wood to my liking.

Popped a tin of RO GP-11, and counting stars…

Smoking some BCA from 4noggins in a Blatter & Blatter one red dot. Nice nice smoke. I packed this one perfectly!

Did a second set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

And now the time has come. May the first version of the Clay King blend please stand up so we can all bask in it's gentle but royal deliciousness. Spotlight, drum roll and applause with three heavy cheers:
The Clay King's clay pipe blend has left the jar!
Its formula may be young but it will grow up to be a very royal and mellow fellow. I'm sure!

From left to right:
Virginia Gold Lemon, Virginia Gold Lemon sprayed with lemon peel infused mead, pressed, cut into flakes and rubbed up, English style (unflavored) Black Cavendish and also the Danish style (vanilla/Canadian maple syrup) Black Cavendish.



Mixed up and, of course, sampled in a clay pipe.



The mead soaked part needs much more flavor or this current blend needs much less Black Cavendish.
But still... The smoke is oh so sweet, the coolest cat you ever wanna meet! But there's no honey or lemon to it.

I have the comparison between my first aromatic and this one. I found out that you want to go all out with the sauce but distribute it sparingly. Not the other way around. I'll take some more of the mead soaked flakes to try them on their own and mix them into this Mk. I version of the blend.

I wish they taught us this in school, this is one leafy bunch of real fun!

@Chaukisch My mum and dad always make extra food when I go there for dinner so I've got some to take home. My support worker's bringing me a piece of salmon tomorrow; appropriate for me as the return of the salmon to the Don is a major conservation success for the Don Catchment Rivers Trust following the building of fish passes on the weirs so they can navigate all the way up through Sheffield and Rotherham now. Going for my Christmas dinner with the Don Catchment Rivers Trust at Renishaw Hall next month.
Making a loaf of bread this evening, going to put it in the oven after dinner.
Still looking up mead recipes; it should go well in the Great Hall!

Great effort! If everyone took care of his immediate environment like you do than this planet would be in much better shape. I got leftovers from yesterdays kale dish, it filled me for the whole day and it's so delicious and rich that I could eat it for a whole week without getting sick of it.

For me Mayonnaise is the one to go for with a rich amount of pickled cucumbers and cubes of Fleischwurst.

Damn right! That's my favorite too, just the way I had it since childhood. There also are slices of hard boiled eggs in it. Mh, mh, mh! Molto delizioso!

Smoking a new (another) bent apple tonight, a Jim DeSchaine sandblast. Breaking it in with some stoved Luxury Navy Flake.

Airing out some straight Louisiana Perique, it's about ready to be smoked. I really held myself back to not smoke so much of it but the jar is almost empty anyway. Oh well, that's what they make it for and I love that stuff!
My donkey pipe will have the honor.

Just hacked up some Virginia Gold Lemon for the Clay King blend samples, also airing out a little.
Gonna mess around with this and try different mixes to see what works best.
Just look at that fluffy little mound. When you let it fall down it's like a thick whipped cream, settling slowly, almost lethargic. It's hypnotic, I can't stop playing with it.

I just had a look at their clay pipes, nice selection! I recently developed a yearning for that slick feel that my clay gave me before the binding. Gotta get a new regular one.


It's great stuff, huh? The meat and potatoes of general cuisine as I like to call it. Potato salad is served by my grandmother every Christmas, no matter how much she makes there's never any left to take home. There's probably a different kind of potato salad for every county in Germany. Do you prefer it with oil or mayonnaise?

I’ve eaten both and like each one, probably the mayo the best, but I never turn any down. Sometimes he will get a chunk of pork and score it and stick chunks of potatoes and veggies in it and roast it in a Dutch oven. Always sausages and beer on the side.
