Finished my first job. A quick pipe before I head to my second one. Peterson Irish Flake in a Ropp.

love rusticated pokers, what a beauty you have there!
If I made pipe tobacco my first blend would be called "Clay King".
I would imagine it being a mild, light coloured Virginia / Cavendish blend. Does this sound good
???
"Clay King" would NOT contain Latakia...
Do you think "Clay King" would be a flake or ready rubbed tobacco???
I don't imagine "Clay King" being a shag cut.
If I was commissioning "Clay King" it would be made by Gawith Hoggarth or (nearer home) Wilson's of Sharrow.
Do either of these make anything like my hypothetical "Clay King" pipe baccy?
Do any of you know of a real life equivalent to "Clay King"???
When I was at college we grew and sold Nicotiana as a house plant; is this the tobacco plant???

Did a second set of walking rep, 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.
@Chasing Embers I've got a clay that shape...
Here's from an afternoon up camping, just got back. Don't remember what went into what...
A third of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.
Beautiful pipe and picture...
Cobblestone "Hiking" with some dark roast. 
I tried it and liked it right away, didn't even have to think about it.First time smoking Mixture 79 in a MM Apple Diplomat with a Forever Stem.
To be honest, with some of the comments about the blend, I wasn’t to sure what to except, but that it might be really terrible.
This is very Burley forward tasting, with a lot of good Burley notes going on, along with some subtle sweetness.
I’m shocked, this is a really nice all day blend, mine really tastes like good quality tobacco.
I bought it off of Cup O Joes last week, maybe the blend has improved, from the really low reviews from the past.
The tin note might be a bit odd, but not the taste...

A bowl of Newminster 400 Navy Flake, which I dried in my repurposed Romanian crystal cigar ashtray with tobacco leaf inlay, in the Savinelli Erica Fiamma 128 Billiard with a Dr. Perl Junior 6mm filter which is shorter then the Savinelli filters but seems as effective. What a great tobacco ! Wish I had ordered this sooner. Again while smoking a tasted a bit of mint amongst the Tea and honey flavors and it really does have a subtle sweet taste to it. I think this will be a staple tobacco for me. And it seems to satisfy my cigarrette cravnga so I may finally be able to give up those last few that have a hold on me. Looking forward to trying the Lane 1-Q and the Balkan Supreme.
True.
I have a tendency to incorporate plateau on a lot of the pipes I make. I like the looks of it a lot.
Hamborger Veermaster in a GBD Meer that was restored and restemmed by Ryan Alden
2018 C&D Carolina Red Flake, rubbed out, in a sandblasted Tom Eltang Lovat. I hope that everyone had a great weekend.

Distant, yet fond memory of this blend...
I’ve also been on the lookout for a Travis McGee-ish Charatan. This is an “Executive” bell Dublin with some Wilke Rum and Maple and some hot cocoa that is pairing better than I expected outside this evening. 
2018 Elizabethan Match in a Ropp smooth cutty with horn stem, for my set break later.
I’m proud to admit that I have passed a new level in my official codger education. I fell asleep in the rocking chair smoking a bowl of EGR today.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2021 HU Directors Cut in a smooth medium brown slight bend 1950s Comoy’s London Pride 337C prince with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This should get me to dinner time.
