He needs a dab of lip moisturizer before his kisser falls off!

Good Saturday morning all. Up way too early considering the Premier League is on international hiatus. Still, enjoying some Hal o' The Wynd in a Rossi 114.

@Backwoods Briar @Dave760 @Tate Five Brothers seems to be a popular baccy choice for clay pipes...

Some type of nasty twist from G&H circa 2012 in a small 'Devils Arse' meerschaum pipe from circa 1900!

@condorlover1 I don't know how old my oldest clay is; I think twist is very well suited to clay pipes - especially at re-enactments when the blacksmith lights the clay from his forge

Another of of todays fiddle around projects. A spanish pipe I think. Its called Piloto. A small bowl. It hold about 2/3 of an HH Flake. Im running some Latakia flake through it right now.
Before and after photos:







I Just looked it up. Its made by a company in Barcelona...which is not far. Its still considered regional.

Granger in a Graco, drinking hot coffee with a itty-bitty drop of Wild Turkey (it is gameday), changing the oil in the wife's Yota. Bear season started this morning, but I haven't heard a single shot, yet. They've had a windy start to it.

@redglow The Clay King enjoyed his clay pipe of Elizabethan Mixture at last year's Nottingham Pipe Show; smoked a clay bowl in memory of the departed Queen Elizabeth II.

Very appropriate! Sweet, yet sturdy. Like the Queen Mother.

Elizabethan Mixture for a nice Saturday morning pipe with coffee. ️

The Charatan was a very quick smoke - tiny bowl
So I’m having a 3rd bowl of Peterson’s Founder’s Choice

In an Austrian gourd calabash. No name, but I’m pretty sure it is an Andreas Bauer from the distinctive briar ferrule

I know Dan. You have told me many times about firing up your pipe with a flaming sheep turd from the blacksmith forge. Have you tried any other historical ways of lighting pipe. Sticking your head in a blast furnace for example to capture that early 19th century Industrial Revolution feel? How about using a flint and steel and the lint from your pockets instead of matches? I am sure if you applied yourself to this task diligently you could come up with an unlimited number of repeatable scenarios!

Peterson EMP in a Peterson 2023 Christmas 69. Nice combination. Just got the pipe yesterday, second bowl.
