Just finished this bowl of year 2010 Mac Baren Burley London Blend in a smooth medium bend 2011 Rinaldo Collection Fiammata Silver Line 7 Odea 04 flame grain bulldog with a silver band and a tortoise shell acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Had a great chat with a good friend.

Esoterica Penzance in a Celebi Meer. Getting a short smoke in before my house fills up with family. We’re going to see the gingerbread house competition at Grove Park Inn, something of a tradition. Everyone knows I’m kind of cheap about food so if you’re over 12 years old I’m not paying $15 for your hot chocolate. You want a real drink? Bring a flask or your own money haha.

Nice looking meer, Steddy.

Raining like nobody's business and we're all tucked in for the evening.
Was just able to get in a nice Saseini Balkan in my 1953 Dunhill bent.

Now smoking year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Going to clean a few pipes.

[MontyTX]

Equal parts FVF and Solani ABF (each 13 years old) in a Stanwell 2025 POY. Next time I won’t age the ABF at all, and FVF caps at 5 years. Gets too mellow with extra age.

Too late to edit. Rossi, not Savinelli.

Greetings, all! C&D Exclusive in a Cavicchi bent billiard with Italian Roast on the side.

I doubted that I would like 50% perique and was I ever wrong. I bought a tin due to the frequency it appeared on this thread--I can thank the Forum for leading me to this new favorite. Time to reorder. I wish C&D put it out in 8 ounce tins!

Going to be in the low 50s F today in Ohio then drop close to 30° overnight.

But you can buy it by the oz or a 5 Lbs bag.

That “guillotin” looks to be quite the apparatus!

Yep. Wife got it a couple years ago in a cheese basket. I think it cut cheese exactly one time , then a took it over for tobacco duties.

Now smoking year 2022 unreleased Sutliff Brown Virginia Flake in a 1920s medium bend smooth dark brown BBB Umbra bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem with an orific bit. Harry the Hairy is snoozin' near my feet. Both Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave are sleeping on their favorite blankets on the couch. It's still cold and raining outside.
