Getting some reading done on the front porch with a glass of tea and a bowl of C&D Morley's Best in a partially rusticated house pipe made by Corey "Abb" Brown (Abbs Artisan Pipes).

G&H Brown Flake Aromatic in a Savinelli Regimental Smooth Bordeaux 624
Morning all, happy Sunday. Smoking Mac Baren Balkan blend in a Poul Winslow poker with a Yeti full of Russian caravan tea. Both are deep, rich and carry that smoke/campfire flavour.
Did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Now smoking year 2018 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.
That's not going to happen, I'll keep buying clay. I actually would've ordered several clay pipes instead of a new cob and bruyere, but the shop baited me with their pipe cleaner deal so I placed an order there.
1000 Angelo cleaners for 12.40€, They're decent too.
With two new pipes this cost me 52€, no delivery charge. I couldn't resist.
Whatever, I need that raw tobacco leaf and pure clay pipe for the clean tobacco taste that I want and expect.
But I also enjoy the variety and difference of the pipes.
Every single pipe of mine smokes, handles and kinda tastes differently and I enjoy getting acquainted with them, getting to know them and the performance of their material. I like that.
GH Dark Shag in a clay. Smoked some GH Mixed Shag and a bit of Rustica today. Thanks 
@simong. If I haven't smoked all my pipe baccy by the end of the month I'll send Jamie the packet of Captain Black Original I was given at Nottingham pipe show.
Do you think the Clay King
will miss his clays and baccy during Stoptober???

Life is short. I’m cracking my tub of Ed. Loaded up some Alden’s and heading to the garden. @halfdan i smoke EGR in my clays
Dave, you look set for a solid morning's work
It’s probably more sitting on my arse than weeding, but important philosophical work nevertheless
@ashdigger That's a fancy looking pipe; I like the colouring and the silver decoration. I've smoked some Ennerdale Flake in my clay pipes; my local tobacconist in Chesterfield sells it loose.
Not buying any more pipeweed until re-enactments next year.
Do you think the Clay King
will survive his month long abstinence from the clay pipes???
2012 John Aylesbury Luxury Flake in a Jack Howell Apple.
As long as you earn brownie points from the wifeIt’s probably more sitting on my arse than weeding, but important philosophical work nevertheless
Telegraph Hill in a Dunhill Cumberland

Almost half way through this bowl of 2021 Watch City Simply Orange Virginia in a black sandblast medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 182/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Watching the Braves-Phillies game.
Sutliff Balkan Sobranie 759 Match in a Stanwell slightly bent scoop featherweight. Had to jump start my wife's car last Thursday and now have to run it around for about two hundred miles to get it to inspection for a license sticker and to pay property tax on it. The computer needs to reprogram after the battery is out of juice. A little Balkan seemed about right after we ran the car across town for mileage to pick up a pizza and a Coke. We like this little bucket, but it gets shelf-worn sitting under a tree, and now a limb has dented the trunk panel.
