C'mon brother, show a little love to that Holmes and Watson set. I love the adventures of the Altinay, but I feel for that lonely pair of pipes.

Jeff,
So pleased you got that Jorn Micke Royal Copenhagen porcelain Dublin.
Nice that yours comes with a marching pipe rest.
He won the design competition against notable pipe makers such as Anne Julie and IB Loran.
Enjoy
I ended yesterday with Yorktown in a Linkman’s Dr. Grabow from the 1930’s.
And I’m starting the morning with Yorktown in a Linkman’s Dr. Grabow from the 1930’s.

@Jwebb90 I was smoking Yorktown at the Redcoats and Revolutionaries event when the blacksmith lit my clay pipe with an ember from his forge
I think Yorktown is well suited to Redcoat events.
Saving my War Horse Green Bar for re-enactment smoking next year.
I'm only buying pipe baccy for re-enactments next year; if I've got any left I'll smoke it when I go for a country walk or a pint at the pub.
Got some serious clay pipe smoking to do over the next 2 weeks before my abstinence starts in October!
Not smoking anything next month as I'm taking part in Stoptober.
Not buying any more pipeweed until re-enactments next year.
Need to stay out of shops that sell pipe baccy
This is less of a problem now I'm doing my shopping online; it also cuts down on the stress levels making me want to smoke a clay pipe less in the first place

Settling down to my 2nd bowl
Sillem's Black
In a Tsuge Asami Kikuchi sandblasted egg with a Box shank extension, army mount. Pipe 27 of 50 limited edition for Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation.
An initial smoke in this NOS.

A third of the way through this bowl of D&R Penhooker in a 1990 straight dark brown Commemorative reproduction of the 1890 Peterson Patent System 12393 stack billiard with a silver band and a bowed black acrylic 32 AB long stem p-lip. The burning chamber is smaller than it looks, but this pipe is a very good looker and smoker. Just fed Daisy the Feral Princess, and am going back to work as I listen to Fibber McGee and Molly. W named one of our cats after Molly McGee.
@OzPiper I like the tobacco tin; if it was mine I'd re-use it for my loose Gawith Hoggarth!
About a third of a bowl left of C&D Derringer in a straight smooth brown 1920s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 399 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
The Sillems tins look better than they are practical
They don't have a good seal unfortunately.
I jar my Sillems and keep the tin for photos only
@OzPiper @Chaukisch @Birddog66 @simong I'll have to get a tin of Sillems Musketeer to smoke in my clay pipes; I love the tin art with the English Civil War era Redcoat smoking a clay pipeThe Sillems tins look better than they are practical

I'd re-use the tin for loose Gawith Hoggarth or as an ashtray.
A perfect tobacco for the Clay King

I've only tried the "Black" and "Green". I like both very much
Just finished smoking 2022 Dominican produced Carter Hall in a 1929-1931 KBB Kaywoodie Drinkless 7782 straight smooth walnut bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Now smoking Prince Albert in a straight smooth walnut 1927 KBB Kaywoodie Drinkless 86 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This model was only made in 1927. I'll likely end the day with this smoke if I get everything done that needs doing.
Will do!
I'll probably keep every tin I buy in the future, decent way to carry the tobac around. I even keep all my cigar and cigarillo boxes, they're great for keeping lighters, tamperers, pipes or whatever. And you can peel off the "smoking is bad, m'kay" stickers. I hate how half the tin surface is covered with them.I love the tin art with the English Civil War era Redcoat smoking a clay pipe

On topic:
The first bowl of today and the second one for this new pipe. It's shabbily fabricated and hard on the draw but it smokes. It was an amusing offer, for 30€ they randomly send you one out of 12 pipes. Of course I didn't get what I wanted.
The first and probably last time I buy cheap bruyere pipes from online shops. It's also my first experience with a yucky coating in the chamber. But here she is, the new donkey in the collection:
Going to wear the Redcoat and smoke a clay again today. This time last week the Clay King was riding the Stagecoach to Nottingham pipe show
The Clay King proved a big hit in Nottingham!

re-use of empty tobacco tins!I'm interested in reusing and recycling everything I can
Not much single use plastic with me; I get my toiletries and cleaning bottles refilled, I use the Ocean
Saver cleaning refills and when I go to Buxton I fill my water 
bottle at the drinking fountain.Got 2 jackets I found while litter picking - in my size
Going to wear my Redcoat and smoke a clay again today; I've got some serious clay pipe smoking to do before the end of the month when I take part in Stoptober!
