@Kobold Great minds think alike! Christmas Cheer 2016 in a Larry Roush
Nutty Irishman in a Karl Erik Handmade.
Quite a warm afternoon here, around 65. I've got We Three Kings 
simmering in the unmarked Meer. A little drying time helps, for me. And I think this tastes better in the Meer. I'm getting a different note of something, what I don't know. Pleasant. 
Iced coffee, cream/no sugar.

Just finished smoking year 2014 Uhle’s 00 in a 2015 straight smooth dark brown Peterson Irish Harp 150 bulldog with a silver band and a tapered acrylic cumberland fish tail stem.
Now smoking year 2015 Mac Baren Modern Virginia in a medium bend, smooth dark brown 1950s Peterson 999 Shamrock chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Tilbury in this nice little Blakemar I just got back from George Dibos.
G&H Dark Plug again, this time in a Chris Askwith blasted morta Liverpool with a tapered briar stem. Thanks to the increased airflow of the morta the Dark Plug tasted milder and was easier to sip but the bowl size I found a bit excessive for this strength of tobacco. Next time, a small Meer, I think. This afternoon I missed both the hedgehogs and Miss Doreen Gray, a disappointment for all four of us, I reckon. Still left some more cat food out on the off-chance.
H&H BlackHouse in a Stanwell 83 bent billiard. Not sure what I think of the tobacco. Doesn’t fit with the SL/PS52 flavor I like.
I really enjoy the Russian Caravan Tea. Goes great with most blends.
I’m drinking some now while I smoke some We Three Kings in the Ropp, J04-10B
HU Dark Moor in a Tekin Lattice Meer and Diet Coke on the side
Wow excellent looking sandblast! Rings galore.
333 is the Burley to rule all Burleys.
@Deano - Russian Caravan Tea has been described as 'the coffee-drinker's tea'. I agree.
Now smoking the last of this mylar of year 2024 KBV Mr. Christian's Haunted Virginia in a straight, black sandblasted 1980s Comoy’s Mark-2 G * 6 (4) bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Sleepy Suzy has been by my side for hours. Harry the Hairy has been snoozin' in front of the entertainment center for hours.
Tim, I gotta say that the extra bend in the stem really sets the unmarked Meer off in a fine way. Looks great.Quite a warm afternoon here, around 65. I've got We Three Kings

Solstice Tea Traders has a fantastic Russian Caravan. I've had several others, but theirs is a current favorite. Pairs so well with a pipe.
Finally got my motion detector set up so now the Boogie man won't be able to sneak up on us. He may still come, but we'll know it.
Moved the final batch of leaves. Had a stiff wind with gusts up to 32 mph and it was running the right way. All I had to do is hit the leaves with the blower, get 'em in the air and the wind sent them to the next county.....
To close things out I had some HU Janneman Flake in my 1953 Dunhill bent.
I'm not sure what I was most excited about.... getting to smoke a delicious blend in a 72 year old Dunny.... or trying a new flavor of Waterloo sparkling water - Guava Berry!
Both were tasty.

I just today recieved some Kensington Breakfast from Upton. I like it pretty well. I used to get Harney's English Breakfast by the pound but it changed and not for the better. I will check Solstice Tea Traders.
Bob, is it possible for a burley to be "too burley" for your morning constitutional???
