PS Luxury Navy Flake in a clay. The polar express hasn't come this far yet, so the temp outside is quite pleasant.

MB Navy Flake in my Grabow. So nice to sit on my porch again. Its 38 degrees and feels great. Its the calm before the storm i suppose. Under a blizzard warning starting tonight so that should be a fun drive home frome work.

Smoking some Sun Bear Mountain Flower for the first time in the Peterson Christmas Heritage Copper Spigot XL11.

Got a tin of this from my awesome Secret Santa, loving the blend and will be sure to grab a few tins of next year's offering.

Finishing now (last bowl) of my latest "Frankenstein" mix, made from leftovers and scraps. I like this one especially. I could smoke it as a favourite tobacco. But unfortunately, it is of course not possible to reproduce it. Made from 4 (I think) tobaccos and unspecifed components proportion. Ahh! the charm of random things!
In a MM hardwood.
Drinking a hot, red, spicy drink.
Listening, as every year, to the "Festival of Carols" from the All Classical Portland Oregon web radio.
Last day of work tomorrow, and then 2 weeks off.
Out of focus pipe/focus on Christmas decoration photo follows.
All the best to all of you good people.

Going to have Prince Albert (newer batch from the Dominican Republic) in a Dinant Prince Albert Figurative Clay Commemorative/Souvenir pipe from Belgium with a horn (orific) and cherry(?) stem, circa 1914, depicting the Belgian prince, not Edward VII. This is one of my dedicated Prince Albert pipes, even though it’s not the same prince as depicted on the tin.



The tin in this photo is the second version of the pocket tin from 1913–1938 with a hinged lid (the first version from 1909–1913 said “NOW KING,” and was changed to “CRIMP CUT” from 1910–1913). The notched lid was introduced in 1938.

The end of a tin of Ennerdale topped up with a bit of Bosun Cut Plug. It's very nice!

 

[Architeuthis]

Popped a can of 2010 HOTW a few days ago and have been letting it breathe. First bowl this afternoon. Mmm, Mmm Good.

Ready Rubbed Match in a straight Falcon with meerschaum bowl.

@Carol ,
Thanks! I appreciate it.

Best of the Rest English in a Big Ben Bulldog. Took a chance on a pound of this a couple orders ago, and am glad I did. Wonderful smokyness and a nice slow burn. Incredible for the price. I'll be getting more for the cellar.

The rain finally stopped, so I got in a set of walking reps on the cold, slick ground, and am close to finishing this bowl of unreleased Sutliff VaPer in a 1970's straight rusticated black Savinelli Estella 915 KS dublin with a flared top and pearl brown acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Now smoking KBV Fragrant Matured Virginia beta in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a pearl brown acrylic saddle stem. Writing beta notes on this blend.

Smoking Warped King Stride in a new pipe I got from a very unique Israeli artisan pipe maker, Mooki Liberman. A real beuty wtih a perfect construction. Mooki was also very kind and sent this stem and a shorter one. A special tobacco that grew on me.
