Barely slept, so I'm up and smoking Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Dublin Sterling Canadian 264 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to do some reading.

Prince Albert / Peterson 264 Irish Harp.
The first bowl of the work day is Peterson Flake in my Sav Dolomiti 128 short Billiard. It's light in the clench and has a good draw. Maybe not the shiniest toy in the window, but a good smoker. I have to decide if I should drive up to Tree House for some NEIPAS, or just buy something at the package store before the snow begins to fall later. Any suggestions?

Nothing new on the rotation — still working my way through a tin of RMC Heritage Black Flake, and I’m not opening anything else until this one is done. First time ever with this blend, and honestly, it keeps surprising me. Different pipes bring out different nuances every time — dark fruit here, deeper Virginia sweetness there. That said, it’s very tempo-sensitive. Push it even a little and the flavor falls apart. But once you dial in the right pace, it’s pure enjoyment — cool, rich, and rewarding. This bowl is smoked from a Mario Pascucci P Rust 2127 (silver ring), which pairs beautifully with the blend.
Getting today started with some Sun Bear Navy Cask in an LHS caboose with black coffee. Reading The Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley.
I like this pipe, I think a Pete similar to this, will be my next pipe. Beautiful pipeEarlier, went for a walk with some F&T Vintage in a Pete System 31
Dang you been breaking out some gorgeous pipes man. This one here is stunning
I read that about a year ago and enjoyed it very much. It's interesting to view things from their perspective in 1919.
This Pipe right here! Oh man, that's a beautiful pipe. That thing is straight up beautiful.

Good morning! Dense coastal fog this morning. I ate so much yesterday I am rolling instead of walking! My wife and I stopped buying Christmas presents for each other years ago. Every year we give each other memories. Last year it was a week in Charleston, South Carolina. We had a blast! I am thinking about this year’s memories trip as I enjoy my morning coffee, burley, cob. We’ve been doing it for ten years. Lots of special memories! Where to this year?
Ain't Charleston great? We visit there often. This year we're headed for Folly Beach for a week starting New Year's Eve.
Had some Devil’s Holiday last night in this pipe, so I’m de-ghosting with OJKB this morning.
