Just Completed the Cannonball Run from Gatlinburg to Richmond and finally back on my Patio with some Exclusive in a Castello 55 and a Mug of Diet Coke on the side.

Quick pause in the Christmas Chaos to enjoy some C&D Founding Fathers. It’s been a long time since I’ve had FF and I’m enjoying it a bit more than I remembered. 
A little Troutstream in the Brigham. Praying everyone here has a safe and joyful Christmas season. 
Brebbia Ninja Noce 1001 with Haunted Bookshop, and drinking Green Mountain breakfast blend coffee. Playing with my boys out back.
A small bowl of MF on a chilly afternoon.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed all the cats. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
A pre lunch smoke.
A cool, dank morning.
Enjoying some Dunhill Aperitif '03, a sample from @PrivatePiping , in the Ropp J04-B10. A mug of 2003 Puerh tea with honey.
Man, this baccy is delicious.

I'm an Appaloosa man myself. Had a leopard Appaloosa mare that was my boon companion when I was in middle school. A great, even-tempered loyal breed.

Sitting here contemplating what Father Christmas will bring this year.
My guess is that it will most likely be a lump of coal, which is what this '80s Nording Danish Plateaux freehand reminds me of. I currently have it filled with Two Friends Deacon's Downfall from 2010.

Paul, was it mild weather during the C ball run?
I have a friend in Clarksville whose family has made sausage for 130 years on their farm. I always get several sticks for Christmas gifts. Drove up this morning for a few.
Trying some G L Pease Barbary Coast in a Bones bent. It sounded pretty good so I ordered a tin. It's a BurVaPer with a slight Brandy topping. Quite nice for a change of pace. The Brandy is present but not strong. Burley is in forefront and a nic hit will slip up on you if you pound it hard.

I like that blend. Have some stashed somewhere.

Did a set of walking reps, and have a quarter of a bowl left of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem.
I love that castle Meer. Although I'll admit, upon first glance, the images in my head were of Eskimos and Igloos. But now I see that "castle turret" is clearly apropos.
Peterson 160th Anniversary No. 221 and C&D Wintertime Reserve Professor. Merry Christmas and continuing Happy Holidays to all! A little Vince Guaraldi Trio in the garage - Linus and Lucy waiting for Santa!

I would’ve been willing to meet you between Knoxville and Murfreesboro to take that 55 off your hands
Gatlinburg was mild and in 30’s to 60’s the last few days. This morning the closer you got to the Virginia line the temps started dropping hard and raining but now the same temp system here in Richmond through Thursday that East Tennessee had. I’ll take it though over the last couple of weeks of snow and temps in the teens
