Now smoking a friend’s home blend, Dix VaBur in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Back to work as I listen to The Beatles Channel.

Got quite a lot of twist to smoke through; I think it tastes good but it takes some lighting to get my fire ? going!
Plus it keeps going out and needs relighting!
Unless I get another packet of St. Bruno or Condor when I go to the Co-op to post my parcels, I feel I should give the clay pipe a rest until I go to see Lace Wars and the Sealed Knot when the pandemic has passed.
This is why I originally bought my clay pipes; I'll be taking a couple with me on my weekends with the Sealed Knot.
I'll most likely buy a packet of Gawith Hoggarth Cherry Vanilla for my re-enactment weekends, as I enjoyed it in my clay when I went to see Lace Wars at Cromford Mill last year.
I've saved a couple of empty pipe tobacco packets for storing my 'smoked' clay pipes and for loose Gawith Hoggarth pipe tobacco; this has helped the environment and offset the CO2 emissions from smoking a clay pipe!
Need to work on improving my fitness - I've started swimming again now that the leisure centre has reopened and would like to go to the gym again.
When I've smoked all my twist (and any Condor / St. Bruno) I'm planning to take the unsmoked clay pipes to Mum & Dad's for safekeeping and to avoid temptation to smoke them.
I need to beat my clay pipe addiction if I'm going to improve my fitness, so I'd prefer to just smoke them at re-enactment and when I take part in clay pipe smoking competitions.
I'll never have to buy any more clays!

A couple minutes away from smoking D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Canadian Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 with a black vulcanite tapered stem.
Billy Budd in a basket briar bulldog to round out the evening. Have a good one fellas.
In my experience those twists need a lot of drying time. Experiment with different drying times to see what works best for you. Personally I like mine pretty damn dry, that’s when I get the most flavor out of em.

Close to finishing this bowl of C&D Burley Ribbon Cut in a 1970s slight bend black sandblasted Comoy's Silver Cloud 624 sitter with a silver pearl gray acrylic saddle stem. I did finish work, though. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
SG Lakeland Dark Flake in a Viking Classic Brandy.
Enjoyed a tasty peach, and am now smoking 1970s Dobie’s Four Square Original Mixture in a 1982 black sandblasted medium bend W.O. Larsen freehand with a tapered black vulcanite stem. I may end the day with this smoke.

Thanks - I'm new to twist myself and would never have considered it if @condorlover1 hadn't recommended it and sent me some to try in my clay pipes!
Royal Yacht in my trusty Peterson 107 Aran,coffee and the papers.
Absolutely. I think you’ll be happy he recommended them. They are quite delicious! My personal favorite being the Happy (Brown) Bogie.
