Glad you like it; I think it should smoke well in a clay pipe - and you say it has the earthiness that suits a clay???
It lacks that VA sweetness and I can't make out any citrus flavors but yes, it indeed has a certain earthy taste.
Like I said I'll have to smoke some more but I can tell you right now that it'll go really well with a light mead and honey saucing. So:

For one wicked blend! 😁

OT:
What to smoke, what to smoke? 50/50 Perique/Danish style Black Cavendish it is.

Enjoyed in you know what, under a full moon with a star above it. Only fitting because this is quite a heavenly aligned smoke.

Half way through this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. Just posted my KBV Mr. Christian's Butterscotch Toddy review at TR. Rays and Guardians are still scoreless in the 13th.

@Chaukisch You know how much I love that pipe:)
So the recipe for "Clay King" is half & half Sweet Golden Lemon Virginia & Sweet Black Cavendish with a light honey / mead flavouring???
I think SG Black Forest is my real life "Clay King":
This blend has the Virginia / Cavendish combination, the Clay King's golden shine and the honey flavouring - and it smokes very well in a clay pipe as all Gawith tobac does:)
Samuel Gawith smoked one himself!
I can't believe I found a real pipe baccy that matches my fabled "Clay King":)

Just finished smoking year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in an undated straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Mariners-Jays game, which I recorded since the last game ran so long.
