Good Sunday morning all. Watching World Cup football and gingerly puffing on some Savinelli Juno in my Rossi Bulldog.
Just finished Advent readings with the family and now I’m heading out to smoke Oriental Square in a Linkman’s Dr. Grabow.
“But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.”
Micah 5:2

Part way through this bowl of year 2014 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.
HCA Churchwarden with a 20 minute load of Lazy Bones. Waiting to go to the Tamale Festival in Indio.
One of the flakes recommended recently by @hoosierpipeguy was F&T CVP - have some current samples of a few the recommendations on the way but couldn’t find this one and apparently because it is the season, a few flakes of some very well aged CVP showed up along with this virtually new Peterson Sherlock Holmes Strand from “Santa”. Doing more Santa research and part way through the bowl this is a really good tobacco! 
My favorite and best smoking Dr Grabow, and Boswell’s Best
All the best to you reader on a peaceful and happy December Sunday!

Some CH in my freshly re-stemmed blasted Canubblin Medico.
I’m having some more of that c&d 2020 wintertime reserve dancer in my little ropp j22. This stuff is just fantastic.
Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Wilke's Rum Cake in a Molina billiard with a cup of oat milk latte.
2019 Carolina Red Flake in a Ken Dederichs egg
Finishing off a bowl of Winchester in a Morgan Bones Oom Paul. Cool day in the Southwest, but no wind, so its great smoking weather.
Cigar Time - La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor
I had to cook something for lunch today, and suddenly decided to cook chicken biriyani. Not the type which you typically get in restaurants which are spicy and from Southern parts of India (Or from Pakistan). My recipe was from eastern parts of India which is very aromatic and flavorful due to generous amounts of saffron. floral essences and aromatic spices.
Even though quick and dirty it still took about 3 hours to cook. I was surprised at how flavorful it was, given that I cooked it without a lot of care.
It did not look very presentable but I think it’s OK.
I also did some mental math. Forget labor - just the materials cost more than the average price of a similar quantity of biriyani from a typical Indian restaurant.

Football. Fixing Xmas lights. Planning on hanging said fixed lights. Finishing a jar of Wilke 515 in a Ryan Alden. In some sort of that order.
Peterson Hyde Park in a Castello epoca.
Sun Bear Mountain Flower in a Castello great line.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am almost finished smoking year 2018 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a straight smooth brown 1960s-70s BBB Own Make 506 Canadian with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
