Almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2017 Esoterica Dorchester in a straight smooth brown 1920s KBB Rocky Briar 1582 patent no.298978 with a B in a circle bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This will get me to a very late dinner. Braves-Mariners game starts after the top of the hour.

I assume that hat has a great feather to go with it? A kings hat deserves a proud feather.
I'm curious, how exactly do you clean your clay pipes, especially the long ones?

On topic:
I got no proper pipe cleaners at the moment so it's the same old German clay, puffed on calmly while slowly strolling through the streets under a Northern German full moon with a glass that's just a splash short of a pint of good ol' Northern German brew.
Just now coming home and enjoying the last few puffs of a very good friend, an all American::
40% equally dark and bright Kentucky, 40% Virginia and 20% Burley.

@Chaukisch Sounds good to me; is this a different clay pipe from the one with the weaving on it???
I thought of putting a feather in my Cavalier hat but thought it might drop out...
I use Wilson's of Sharrow pipe cleaners made in Sheffield (just up the road from me).
A shame they stopped making clay pipes or I'd probably be their biggest customer:)
Going to have a few beers and bowls at the UK pipe show in Nottingham; I'm sure the Redcoat will make a grand entrance:)
For England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and King 👑 Charles!
Last time there was a King 👑 Charles, people wore wide brimmed hats and smoked clay pipes; a bit like me 💂!
All hail the clay king 👑!

I enjoyed a fun and entertaining Saturday ZOOM meeting with my buddies, at which I smoked some 10-year-old Full Virginia Flake in my only Dunhill, a 1964 Tanshell Zulu 83.
@dino I enjoyed the Full Virginia Flake in my clay pipes. I think Gawith tobacco is well suited to clay pipes and would suit re-enactment smoking.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught catfish and mashed potatoes dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend burgundy sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Mariners game and getting ready to clean some pipes.
