@PA Piper Mike Love the banding on the long clay; taking my churchwarden to Nantwich this month. need to be careful not to break it
Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in an Altinay.
I don't own any really interesting historical pipes outside of that one and a meerschaum 'cutty' given to the winning jockey of the Kentucky Derby way back when. I have the letter from the surviving relative who sold me the pipe for $20. My friend Weezel had a pipe that belonged to Frank Vizetelly the illustrator for the Illustrated London News who covered the South during the civil war. I don't know who has it now since it wasn't among his pipes when I inherited them but it was quite interesting and had a rather fascinating back story.

Arrowhead in a Cayuga. This was my first pipe, purchased in 2016.
@PipeIT I couldn't ask the blacksmith to light my clay every time; he'd think I was a nuisanceSutliff States of Virginia in a Radice Rind Straight.

P.S. This Jamestown show is when the English first settled too in Virginia, notice the English flag in the credits.
Jason the blacksmith thinks I'd smoke the entire tobacco harvest
Sometimes I get a craving for something different, like anything different that I don't have open at the moment.
Yet I hesitate to open new tins when I've got "sufficient" open ones that "should" satisfy.
So the last couple of nights I've done this crazy mix of 2 I don't usually grab much.
I keep a tub of Carter Hall on the shelves and that shit will last for decades I'm sure with just the tight plastic lid on it.
I also have a tin of Ennerdale that doesn't see much activity, and it's getting a little dry.
Well, crumble up some Ennerdale and mix it with about 5 parts CH and I've got a crazy bat-shit mixture that seems to satisfy the "cravings" of late.
Only 2 bowls like that so far, but the pipe may be permanently disfigured and doesn't want to show it's face.........
That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

@PipeIT I'd smoke that clay - how much leaf do you think I'd smoke in my clays if I visited Jamestown?Sutliff States of Virginia in a Radice Rind Straight.

G&H Bosun Cut Plug in a Unfinished Savinelli 673
Good Saturday all! I am smoking a new briar, oval bowl. Opera pipe I believe. I bought this as an unfinished Italian stummel a year ago. As I don't have fine wood working or pipe making skills/knowledge, I just cleaned it and rubbed in carnuba wax. Finally found a stem that fits it. Am breaking it in carefully and slowly with SWR, non aro. It smokes really nicely. Has nice grain for not being high priced pipe. I think I'm going to like this little pipe
It’s a good thing you weren’t living in Jamestown in the 1600s. I’m afraid you’d be a smoking train, daily puffing, also hanging in the tavern daily. LOL
Simpler times like that, do like nice, but also difficult. hmm
Take care of yourself, aloha!
P.S. Oh the Clarin clay pipe Canadian on SPC is back in stock, I plan to get one...
