@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!
That's why I asked you! You are the Clay King! I ordered one from Smoking Pipes. It's an Old German Clay brand.

I'll definitely let you know when it arrives! I've read they are fragile so I know its days are numbered lol
