@PaulRVA Sounds like a good tobacco for the Clay King!
Just finished with this bowl and I’m now headed to the airport in Bucharest for a flight to Athens.
Smoking some Presbyterian in a rainy morning. The more I smoke it, the more I like it, it's became my new go to blend.
First smoke in this 1983 estate Dunhill, great smoker and I'm eager for a birthday year Dunnie

Great show at Nottingham yesterday & great to finally meet @simong! Got some good tobacco & smoked some of my clays I hadn't previously smoked. A good time with good company, clays and ale. I was the only one smoking a clay!
Wessex campaign Flake marked 9/14 in a 2023 Peterson Saint Patrick's day sand blasted billiard

See if you can spot me (I speak in it as well)!

Brown Twist in the Quail, with a little pinch of Dark Birds Eye on top to get things going.
Good job!!!
Pipes helped me quit too.
Did a little snacking, and have a third of a bowl left of Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Watching the Adventures of Jane Arden which was based on the newspaper strip.
HH Old Dark Fired in a CAO/Bekler.
A Don Lou briar stuffed with New Minster #403 Superior Rounds.
This is a nice, light pipe and feels good in the hand.
As for the NM #403 it was good but I was a bit surprised at how light tasting it was. It also burned fairly hot no matter what my cadence. Next time I will rub it out a bit more thoroughly and use a deeper, beefier pipe. I may even try adding just the slightest pinch of BCA to bring out the sweetness just a bit more and add some weight and texture to the smoke.
But all in all, quite enjoyable.

Bob's Chocolate Flake in the Li'l Pete 317 and a book.. I'm finding that aro's like this and Sakura are naturals in this delightful little pipe. 
Gawith Skiff Mixture in a Briar Works for the ride home from work. It’s nice knowing you have a packed pipe waiting for you after the shift is done. 
Just under a third of a bowl left of year 2013 Rotary Navy Cut in a post-1938 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 bulldog with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Nigel Bruce smoked this model in two Sherlock Holmes movies. Please consider asking Smoking Pipes to bring back this model. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching an episode of Mike Hammer.
Thanks buddy! Yeah it's been a pretty enjoyable experience!
Wessex gold brick in Castello bulldog
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem.
