A couple of firsts today. My Fires on the Levee arrived yesterday, but I didn't have time for a pipe. I'm having my first bowl of that in a new sandblasted Pete B42 System Standard. This is the pipe I ordered a little more than a month ago with the Wintertime Reserve Watson. It seemed like too big a bowl for the Watson, so I've waited for something calling for this pipe. Its smoking FOTL perfectly. This is a really tasty blend!

Just finished smoking year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Sleepy Suzy has been very demanding our attention today. She's gone back and forth between my chair and m'lady's chair, and has finally settled on being with me. She bathing my left arm now.

Can't believe it's 73 degrees on Christmas Eve. Hard to get very "festive" when you're sweating outside....

Had some Elizabethan Mixture in a Bones Bing.....

 

[JazzInAZ]

Still T-shirt weather here (upper 70s) even after sunset.

Feels like a Peterson day: We Three Kings in a Pete 2011 SPD (221).

Harney & Sons Milky Oolong

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2014 Astley’s No. 44 in a straight smooth dark brown year 1926 Parker Super Bruyere patent 3 63/F lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

A Very Merry Christmas to everyone

Christmas messages sent, presents unwrapped (sadly no pipe related ones, but lots of others).
Time to enjoy the rare morning bowl today

Sam Gawith’s Cabbie’s Mixture in a half-bent sandblasted Dunhill Bulldog with a tapered stem

Now on to some Pelican in my own make.

 

[MontyTX]

Trying C&D Haunted bookshop for the 1st time in my Randy Wiley Galleon, with Russell’s Reserve 10 year bourbon, neat.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This should get me to dinner time. The ferals came in, ate and left. We're watching Christmas in Connecticut.

 

[Scottmi]

McClelland No.27 in Dad's Favorite Pipe #2: a no-name bent meer billiard. First time trying any McClelland and on cracking the tin, that famous vinegar ketchup smell was strong. In the pipe, this is oh so easy and nice! Well, now I have just the merest taste of what I have missed out on. Bravo, Mike and Mary. Bravo!

 

[Fralphog]

Just got the sheep feed. Relaxing before dinner with Low Country, Carolina Christmas in the Ali.
And some Pu’erh tea.

May you find comfort in your memories of your father, as you honor him in this way today.

@RavenBlack Thank you Raven. Merry Christmas!

 

[Scottmi]

Scott, that is tough to deal with, I am sure. I'm sure he would be pleased to know that you are thinking of him on this anniversary of his passing.

Thank you, @Choatecav . He lived a great life and we *know* he's been keeping an eye over us all still. Merry Christmas!

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

10/20 MB Virginia Flake in an Altinok.

 

[Scottmi]

Quite a fitting tribute to your father.
Keep the legacy alive.

Thank you, @tartanphantom . I remember when he would come home from work, open the paper and smoke his pipes. Quit probably in the mid-70s when I was still a kid. Remember it fondly. Merry Christmas!

 

[Deano]

Merry Christmas everyone.
