Love the dog! "Come on mister. Draw!"

Well, instead of Maple Shadows, I decided to fire up some Ennerdale.
Proper English in my Stanwell 
Happy Halloween to you! I'm in the Midwest in the US. Northern Illinois near Wisconsin. Just a dusting today nothing crazy.@Tate Happy Halloween!
Whereabouts are you?
Here in England it rarely snows in October / November although we can get a bit occasionally.
I've put my "No Trick or Treat" sign on the door; didn't get bothered last year!
Smoking Clan in the vintage clays; it burns hot & my most smoked clay has a small bowl so it only lasts about 5min; one of my other clays has a larger bowl so I can get a longer smoking time from it.
I'm thinking of going to Buxton (highest town in England) next month (before winter sets in up there) so I'll be taking my empty bottles, tubs, used pipe baccy pouches etc for refilling and re-using my water bottles for refilling at the Pump Room drinking fountains. Not much single use with me!
Disassembled 2 disposable vapes to recycle the casing & batteries; I hate them & think they should be banned!
I can imagine litter picking a place where people still smoke clay pipes
Heck yeah man! We try to reuse stuff. My house came with a bunch of scrap wood and it's come in handy! Right now, I'm just smoking Five Brothers in a Marxman.
Savinelli Essenza Cipriota from June 2014 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard. When I first opened this tin, I thought it had lost the topping. However with a little air exposure it is coming back.
Blessed Eve of All Saints to all! Ending the month with KBV blends, starting with Spacial Cuts #2 in a Tilshead smooth Billiard with long sleight-bent saddle stem. Anne Cap in an Upshall P Bulldog with quarter-bent hex shank and matching saddle stem is up next awaiting the arrival of our trick-or-treaters.
@Tate I know that the Wisconsin Central Railroad purchased British Rail's freight business when it was privatised in the 1990s. I love re-using & recycling; I've got some plastic bottles for refilling this week and when I go to Buxton again I'm taking my used pipe baccy packets for my loose Gawith Hoggarth & refilling my water bottles at the Pump Room drinking fountains. Not much single use with me!
My support worker Jane says she hasn't had to buy any firewood for ages as I keep getting her some; Dad and I cut up my old model railway and gave it her as firewood; waste not, want not!
Please let me know when you receive your clay pipe & post some photos!
Where did you order your clay from and what make & style is it?
Be careful not to break it; I've lost count of how many clays I've broken; I suppose when you're the Clay King you get through more clays than anyone else
When I went to the Battle of Nantwich last January (not long until the next one) I broke one of my clays tapping the ash out in a pub ashtray. One of the Sealed Knot re-enactors showed me how to empty the ash out of a clay pipe without breaking it, by GENTLY tapping it against the back of your hand!

Curious how your stem is working out.
A third of a bowl left of 2017 Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard with a tapered black acrylic stem. Just finished cleaning a few pipes, and am waiting for the World Series and dinner... not necessarily in that order.
