First Smoke Of The New Year

[uberam3rica]

Being that I am not 21, and that my family does not drink, I decided to have a nice smoke for New Years. I decided to ring in the new year with some Penzance, which I smoked out of my Falcon. I have to say that I'm hooked. I love it, and cant wait to get more of it. So I just wondering, did anyone else Have a bowl to celebrate the new year?
Heres a picture of my Falcon

Being a new year I tried something from the cellar. McClleand British Woods Reserve. It was a good smoke although I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't pounding brews with family and friends. Ill smoke it again tomorrow for sure.

Hey there uber, I'm bringing in the new year with Penzance also..

I've had a tin sitting back for a few months. Opened it about 9PM 12/31/11, crumbled up a flake and lit a bowl at 12:05AM 1/1/12.

Tasty start to the year

I've been working on a HUGE project for the Keepers of the Flame Blog, but I did take the time to have a New Year smoke, but alas, it was not a pipe. Instead, I had a very nice Gispert Toro cigar, which was medium in flavor and a nice smoke. For some reason, it's a little easier to smoke a cigar while being up and doing things and moving around, but I prefer a pipe for sitting at the computer doing writing projects.

Penzance until the wee hours of the morning and now before breakfast (almost noon) a bowl of Sterling's American Patriot. No mention was made of the last smoke of 2011. Mine was kick ass Billy Bud. Good smokes for all good folks. Puff happy in 2012!

My first smoke of the year was my least favorite blend in my first pipe: Cherry Cav. It is actually growing on me. Think I'll enjoy it more if I keep it dedicated to one pipe. Later had some Savenelli 1876 English mix in my Peterson tapered dublin. Lovin' it!

Last smoke of 2011 was Middleton's Apple in my John Aylesbury briar. First smoke of 2012 was Carter Hall in a bent MM General cob.

 

[profpar]

Sutliff Private Stock - Golden Age. With a Kaywoodie bent egg

 

[rhogg]

I smoked 1Q out of a cob. I was reminded that I should smoke all aros our of cobs. IMO the flavor comes through more so when smoked from cobs.

McClelland's Oriental - can't remember what it was out of though, I was teaching 6 x friends how to pack & smoke a pipe at the time and half a lge bottle of Baileys may have something to do with my memory lapse as well
