And iced water to drink

 

[FoggyMorning]

Briar fox in a Peterson. I hardly ever smoke this pipe. Has a tendency to gurgle often no matter the tobacco or packing method. Really like the pot shape and silver band but can't seem to overcome that gurgle.

Hi @attic_piper, it's frustrating that a good-looking pipe just doesn't smoke right
Have you checked the drilling? My only 'real Peterson' also gurgles, no matter what tobacco I put in. I've found that the drilling is approximately 2mm higher from the chamber bottom. On the other hand, I have an Irish Second, and it's a great smoker.

@RobNYC I was smoking C&D Winchester in my clay pipe at the Battle of Nantwich re-enactment last January. I gave one of the Sealed Knot re-enactors who normally smokes roll-ups a smoke of my clay; unfortunately I broke my clay while emptying the ash out in a pub beer garden ashtray:-(
He showed me how to tap the ash out of a clay pipe without breaking it, by gently tapping it against the back of my hand!

I'm sorry to hear that...I hope you had a great time aside from the casualty.

 

[RobNYC]

Big 'N' Burley in a Tekin.

 

[The Clay King]

I'm sorry to hear that...I hope you had a great time aside from the casualty.

@RobNYC Yes thanks; my first visit to the Battle of Nantwich.

Been to see Redcoats & Revolutionaries yesterday; I was wearing my Redcoat uniform & smoking GH Brown Pigtail Twist in a clay pipe lit from the blacksmith's forge. Jason the blacksmith says the twist smelled like 18th century taverns...

 

[AroEnglish]

The WHC is @ 4 1/2 inches
The other two are @ 5 inches

Perfection.

A few sips of ice cold water then onto the 2nd of the trio of Operas - a 1913 Birmingham hallmarked army mount BBB with orific bit

Bowl of Peterson’s Elizabethan Mixture
