Did a bit of snacking, and am smoking year 2018 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Chatting with the fella who gave me the pipe.

Need a little more perique before bed time, so I'm smoking Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight black with burgundy undertone sandblasted early 1960s Lane era Charatan 420 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This will end my smoking day. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Is that the Virginia for the "Clay King???"
That's my favourite pipe on the whole forum:)
Yep, the very same. I recently had an idea that will bring out the best of the leaves. ;)

OT:
I'm revisiting my first selfmade light aromatic with my clay pipe. This will be my second taste of it.
It still smells like a jar of nutella, you can mostly taste roasted nuts with a whiff of caramel and a sliiight hint of chocolate. Every few puffs I'm strongly reminded of a sunflower seed halva.
I think this very broad and loose "cut" isn't too good, it smokes up too fast and doesn't stay lit all too well.

Hi UB……………cricket is definitely a love/hate thing and yes the rules can be quite difficult. Hope your day is good my friend, pouring rain here still, flooding really starting to become an issue.
Smoking some MB Latakia flake in a little Eltang basic as I pen this.

Where are you living over there? I’ve been to Australia in the 1980s hitchhiking with my former girlfriend along the coast from Sydney, Brisbane up to Perth in seven weeks. Met a lot of friendly people there. Most invited us to stay a few days at their homes. She left Germany, and is living in NSW for more than 20 years now, her mother comes from Sydney.

I hope the rain will not turn out to a flood.

Just smoking some Black and Beauty from Kiel. Perique/ Cavendish/ Virginias in one of my homemades with Cumberland mouthpiece, stained in South African Pinotage.

Have a nice day.
