A wise guy once said, the last will be first and the first will be last...
Last bowl of the month was a first-time try of Sutliff Maple Shadows (many thanks to @Questionable Source for the sample!) in my aromatic pipe, a Savinelli Miele 641 KS smooth bent apple. All I can say is...hot damn! Eager to revisit this one already. 9.5/10
Bird report: Dark-eyed junco, White-crowned sparrow, California scrub-jay, Oak titmouse, House finch, Chipping sparrow, American robin, Steller's jay, American crow, Mountain chickadee, Northern flicker, and Western bluebird.
Hoping for a December that's better than November was...

Smyrna in a Stanwell. Old Fezziwig ale for a chaser
Cornell & Diehl From Beyond from 2021 in a Savinelli Silver 606 EX
Escudo Navy De Luxe in a Nuttens Bing and Ginger Tea on the side
That's a tough one.It's not a true Canadian, or a true Lovat,or a true Lumber Man,or a true Liverpool. It can be whatever you want it to be.Me,I'll just call it a hybrid.“Dubpool”, “Liverlin”?
Yorktown in the clay - a winning combination 
I call a hybrid because it's a combination of all the members of the Canadian pipe family. I don’t know what the double logo is for.It could be for the briar grade,which is pretty darn good.I could ask Peretti's......
Thank you, don't go to any trouble with the logo, I just thought it was neat but there must be a reason. Nice piece of wood!
Must have missed the party it smells crazy in here. Happy birthday @JimInks !
My final smoke of November is a revisiting of Sun Bear Navy Cask in my new Rossi Rhodesian. I jarred up my tin over the summer cause I sort of burnt out on it but now it's much more enjoyable and I'm finding more nuance than I missed over the summer. Sometimes that's just how it goes. Bummed the long weekend is over but the holiday season is just beginning! Cheers to a good weekend everyone.

A quarter of a bowl left of Wilke Wall Street w/o perique in a year 1987 ebony full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Since it's Mark Twain birthday, I'll smoke my other two Twain pipes tonight as well.
Thank you.
Thank you. It's been a great day! Got a biography of my favorite baseball announcer, Bob Prince. I grew up listening to the Gunner broadcast the Pirates games. And lots of food!
9 year old Hearth and Home Virginia Memory in a Nuttens Bing.
I've always had a high energy level and burn off calories as a result. On my diet days, you'd been shocked to see how little I eat so when I go off my diet, there are no rules, no calorie counting... just eating.Jim, I am continuously amazed at how your diet works for you. I looked at this post and it began with:
"Lunch: an entire chicken stuffed with toasted pine nuts and Mediterranean spices with two slices of pecan pie and a small bowl of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert." In college, I played basketball with a fella out of Birmingham, Alabama who, at a banquet ate a whole chicken plus the trimmings. Of course, he was 6'7" and weighed 250 lbs. and ran it all off in practice..... But, somehow it works for you and I am thrilled.
I have already wished you a happy Birthday but I am so glad that you had a good one. Chicken and all!!
Thank you. M'lady said that dinner will be special, too, which is why I'm having it late tonight.
Thanks a bunch, man!
It's an honor to be mentioned with Babe Ruth. He'd out eat me in a contest, though.
