Grousemoor in a clay. Good stuff.
@Carol Sounds good! I've not tried the Grousemoor but it sounds like a good tobacco choice for a clay. I'd like to try the Mahogany as a local tobacconist has it and I think it would smoke well in a clay. Need to get some fresh pipe baccy for when I go to Derbyshire Woodland Festival next weekend so the Vikings' blacksmith can light my clay with an ember from his forge!

Ordered a pair of Viking / Medieval cooking tongs from Daegrad Tools in Sheffield:
Hand forged, based on actual finds and Sheffield is just up the road from me!

So, our friend John’s birthday was last week on September 2nd. We weren’t able to get together until today, which worked out for the best—today is UFC 293 PPV and John is visiting us to watch it; John and I have been watching UFC together for over ten years. The UFC mixed martial arts matches take place in an octagon shaped ring. When I saw that Savinelli was releasing their Ottagono Due (Octagon II) limited edition, numbered pipe, I knew it would be the perfect gift. John was born in 1976 and I was born in 1963. As luck would have it, Smoking Pipes had numbers 76/600 and 63/600 available for sale and I was able to snag both when the pipes dropped.

I’m having Savinelli Brunello Flake in a Savinelli Ottagono Due Sandblasted, Eight-sided, Paneled Dublin (number 63/600). John is having Savinelli 140th Anniversary (2022 release) in his Ottagono Due (number 76/600) while we watch UFC.

Beautiful pipes, great tobacco and the company of friends and family. Can't ask for much more. That's living the good life.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught cat fish and green beans dinner with a small bowl of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
