Seven-year-old Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture in a new Stanwell H.C. Andersen light brown polished churchwarden, and Cameron's Creme Brulee coffee, while working on band recordings from last night's rehearsal.

Just breaking this pipe in. The stem is more deeply bent than my other model (black sandblast) and it makes for somewhat weird positioning, but I think it's lovely. I do enjoy this tobacco. Unlike yesterday's Borkum Riff, this will remain on the spreadsheet. :) Maybe I'll hunt up a replacement stem for this pipe so that it feels more natural.

Has warmed up a bit here and we're getting rain. Dogs aren't pleased, but at least we got a long walk in yesterday. The rain'll turn to ice later, and we might get snow, so the cover is on the Jeep to prevent ice blocks forming in the windshield well; I've nowhere to be today, for which I'm grateful.
