Smoking some MB Burley Flake in a Castello as I wait for the next cold front to roll through, should get an inch of rain today.

Smoking some Peretti’s Thanksgiving Day from 2023 in a Kaywoodie. Haven’t had this in long while and I’m liking it a lot but then again I like pretty much all tobacco.
Savinelli Tortuga 106 packed with Haunted Bookshop. Drinking sweet tea. Got my kids settled down watching a movie, I slipped outside for a smoke. Hitting the spot pretty good too after a good dinner.
OJKB in the Briarlee for the drive home.
Lane 1Q in a Falcon for Meerschaum Monday.
Meerschaum Monday has come again, and my MiniMeer has been joyfully put to use burning up some current production nightcap 
OJK in an MLC meerschaum pillow top bulldog with a modern Bakelite stem.
Smoked a bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
While in a grocery store parking lot, m’lady saw a small and skinny black cat crying from a storm drain. She rescued the li’l fella, and brought him home. Luckily for m’lady, she had cat food in the car to feed him because he got nervously wild in the car until he saw the food. She called me and told me to meet her at the car with cat food. I didn’t know what had happened, but I had the hope that maybe she had found Abner the Eager. It wasn’t him, of course. I brought him to the outside food dish, and he couldn’t decide whether to eat the dry food on the plate or out of cup I had it in. He also couldn’t decide whether to eat or love on me.
Tomato the Brave saw all of this, and the two touched noses. The black cat shrunk back, and hissed Tomato, who backed off and walked away. I brought the stray in to eat, and he went back and forth from one bowl to another to a third bowl constantly. I rubbed his underside and he was so thin that I felt his ribs. He ate, and ate, and ate. Sleepy Suzy came in, saw the intruder, and hissed and swiped him when it tried to touch noses. I moved Suzy to the den, so the li’l fella could finish eating. When he did, he laid by my side, and licked and marked me several times.
After that, he came to the den and jumped on my lap. I took a bunch of photos of that. He purrs very loudly. When Daisy the Feral Princess came in, she was extremely unhappy to see him. I had to traffic cop that business because the li’l tyke was afraid of our Feral Princess who hissed and swiped at him. M’lady fed Tomato and Daisy their wet food outside. It’s going to take some time for things to settle down especially considering that Molly Danger hates other cats. I don’t know what we’re going to do about this at the moment. He’s so friendly and loving that we believe somebody owned him, and dumped him in that parking lot. We just can’t let him go out right now. He’s stretched out on m’lady’s lap as I type this.

GH Bob’s Chocolate Flake again in an IMP again and Peppermint Tea on the side. Kinda have an Andes Mint thing going on.
I think you just gained another Buddy with that fella !
Got in a bowl of Scottish Cake in the Pascucci before the rain hit at lunch time. Some Pu'er tea to go with it.
Odds and Ends in the Fly Spray Special, my Grabow Color Duke-a most thoughtful gift, and one of my most often smoked pipes. It’s the right tool for the job
Grateful every day.
Grateful every day.
My entire experience with Pesse Canoe ended with the Pesse Canoe – Vanilla, which actually came as a gift with one of my orders. The blend itself sounds promising — Virginia, Burley (Adiyaman), and Oriental (Yayladag, Bitlis, Izmir). But, good Lord, why over-aromatize it like that?Guess I'll meander into Meerschaum Monday if "meer"-ely for the motive of meshing with other members.
My unmarked Meer with Pesse Canoe Purple Pearl.
Cold brew coffee over ice --Gold Star Papua New Guinea.
Meer-ry Monday to all!

The heavy dessert flavor completely overwhelms the natural qualities of the tobaccos.
Two words for ya, “Frosty Mint”
Haven't had it but it does sound good based on @telescopes recipe.Two words for ya, “Frosty Mint”
If I ever come across the ingredients I’d make a batch
I think I'm gonna do the same. OJKB in a Briarlee. Then I'm gonna call it a night.

@JimInks, I keep hoping to read of Abner’s reappearance, (sigh).
C&D Rajah’s Court in a cob that loves Latakia. Instead of looking at a chewed up cob please consider looking at this Ardor instead.
