Newminster No 400 Superior Navy Flake in my Savinelli Saint Nick 2020 that just arrived today. This’ll be my last pipe purchase for a while other than a cob here or there.

I must have a lifetime's supply of clay pipes unless I break them, as I received a box of clays from a forum member and @condorlover1 says he's saving me some Pollock pipes when he returns to the UK.
Keeping my fire ? stoked with some Special Virginia, I think my fire ? needs stoking more now winter is coming!
Made a clay pipe of Special Virginia last 12 minutes in the church porch today before it went out, while I downed a clay pipe of Special Virginia in 52s at the pub this afternoon. Need to work on my slow smoking times; any advice from forum members?

Research the “breathe method.” Our own @chasingembers made a pretty good video that demonstrates it well.

Is that where you breathe in through your nose and blow out through the pipe?
One of the Lace Wars re-enactors taught me to blow through the pipe every few puffs and this has helped but not enough!
Is it correct that when you breathe in through your nose the smoke still enters your mouth?
Also, which would impress a Cavalier or Redcoat more, smoking a clay pipe the quickest or the longest?

Bald Headed Teacher in a WDC Wellington my aunt gave me. I have a rare day of not much to do, so I’m breaking out this pipe and am going to watch a couple of shows to catch up on. This pipe is way outside my size wheelhouse, but it is a great smoker. The small pipe is a Ryan Alden Devil Anse. A preferred size.

We celebrated our 49th. year of "her not killing me" with dinner at Chicago's Italian Village Restaurant, one of our favorites.
Bombay Sapphire Martini, up, for me, and G&T for Linda.
A "Captain's Salad," prepared at the table, was followed by Scaloppini ala Toscanini (beef marinated and cooked in a Barolo wine sauce with mushrooms), and complimented with glasses of a very nice Barbera wine. A cannoli for Linda and tiramisu for me, with an espresso.
When we got home, I enjoyed a Partagas Serie D No. 4, out under the gazebo, as we sipped some port, to keep us warm.

Congrats, Dino. 49 years... that's a beautiful thing.
