Two months until the sleigh flies again! 2022 Cringle Flake in my Santa Claus meer.
Are you a shank or butt man? 
LOL either way here's a butt pic of my Nate King bamboozled Bopot - burning a bowl of GH&Co Bob's Chocolate Flake:

Home from work and cheek deep in Ovaltine coffee with a hefty splash of Kraken and my lorenzetti with a mish-mash of Hyde Park and Mark Twain.

Very nice acorn and the grain definition is great!You guys keep mentioning C&D Exclusive this month, so I pulled out my jar. This was a little flat to me the last time I smoked it,but in my Musico acorn, which I use for smoking OJK, Three Friars, and the like, this stuff just sings! Right pipe, right baccy. Bam!

I followed that up with some Autumn Evening in my Piersel Dublin. Man! I haven't smoked any of this in years. I cracked a sealed jar from about 4 or 5 years ago. (Didn't put a date on it unfortunately. Oh well.) I see it disparaged a fair bit, but I've gotta say; this stuff burns with easy, tastes good, and I claim it even contains nicotine. YMMV. I think this stuff is great for breaking in a pipe. The last thing I smoked in the new pipe was Amphora Full and it was a bit like trying to smoke wet newspaper. (Apparently I need to dry out my Amphora! (Duh.)) But the Autumn Evening burned right down to the bottom of the chamber until I tasted the briar. No manipulation required. This pipe's going to be a good smoker I reckon.

This meer is a real beauty, I smile every time I see it.
@Michigan_Bill Sounds great - nice pipe as well and a great tobacco choice. I think it would suit the King's Clay!
PH Dark Strong in a BriarWorks chunky dublin. 
@woodsroad Nice pipe and great tobacco choice; I enjoyed the Full Virginia Flake in my clays. I think Gawith flakes are very well suited to clay pipes; I got some loose FVF when I went to Buxton last month.
Black Frigate in the Cannonball.
Clan in a clay. Litter picked another 2 bags of rubbish yesterday & dropped 4 bags of recycling off with Angela in Newbold. Got bought 2 pints of real ale and redeemed my McDonald's Monopoly ticket for a free McFlurry ice cream. Had the ice cream indoors as not ice cream weather now!
17 bags of rubbish in 3 days; Chatsworth Road / Ravenside area flooded at the weekend; the water has receded now but still smells like a murky river (I'm used to the river smell as I do river clean-up volunteering with Don Catchment Rivers Trust.

War Horse. I've got a tin of War Horse Green waiting to be cracked and compared after I've finished this tin of the standard version.
Bengal Slices White in a Mastro de Paja billiard
6 year old MacBaren Vanilla Flake in a German clay.
Not far from finishing this bowl of Peretti Royal in a black sandblasted medium bend 2013 Mark Tinsky Coral 5 cherrywood with a smooth dark brown shank and bottom with a tapered black briar accented acrylic stem. Dinner follows this smoke. So does the D-Backs-Phillies game.
That’s admirable work @halfdan
I wish more people would be good stewards of our land and
Caretakers of our waterways.
