At least it didn’t start with cr, naughty naughty.

@Tate Downed my clay pipe of Kendal Gold in 36 seconds - a new record for the Clay King!
The longest I've ever managed is 54 minutes with a clay pipe of St Bruno Ready Rubbed.
@The Amish Tyrant says it's interesting the Clay King is going for the quickest and longest smokes
About to hit the sack but I’m being kept awake by storm Ciaran (dumbass name for a storm with 80+mph winds) blowing bins and other crap down the street. Anyway I’m smoking some Palmetto Balkan in the swan neck CPF with a little Japanese whiskey.
It seems the French Clap pipe de luxe I got today is more precious than I originally thought, a friend that knows more about these things than I do recons it’s very early 20thC and the bone tenon leads me to agree, unfortunately the hallmark on the band is too faded for me to make out exactly when it was made and French hallmarks are a bugger at the best of times.

That's awesome, man!! I'll have to try to time when the Clay comes in. Maybe I can shoot for Duke@Tate Downed my clay pipe of Kendal Gold in 36 seconds - a new record for the Clay King!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, snapper and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. Smoked a bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Give Me Liberty in a straight smooth medium brown pre-1920 straight Marechal Ruchon & Cie. Royale apple with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Deciding on my next smoke as I watch The World Series.

Training my new Lorenzetti Avitus bent pot nose-warmer. Gave it some Mark-Park (Mark Twain/Hyde Park). Too tight and too hot, this little pipe has very thin upper bowl, I wore out my first one this way. Adapt or die!
Photo is meant to give the pipe scale, a pint of Witbier in the background.

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Esoterica Tilbury in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Quick bowl of Exclusive. When it is cold out is it normal to have more moisture? My pace was normal.

Cooler temperatures lead to more condensation, especially in longer stems. A slow smoke outside below freezing can create a lot of gurgling. You adapt with experience.

Kind of a sporty-looking pipe, it has a forward "momentum" that I like..
