Managed to sneak in a quick puff of Mark Twain in a rusticated estate pipe, right before the rain started.
Some G-Pymp in a Lane era Charatan Dublin.
That looks like it might be a Wellington. Check if it has this little triangle anywhere:
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Starting work on a Fox story for Archie. We're dong some super hero stories for the digests.
Do you still smoke with your kitty? Hope he's ok!
It's forth and newest in a set of annual Santa pipes made by J. Everett.
The shank accent is made of black ebonite, white juma, and deer antler.
The stems are multi piece and are made of black ebonite, white juma, and cumberland. A tamper was made for the set with the first pipe back in 2019.

Currently 37 degrees. Forecast to start snowing predawn and be around 0 by midmorning. Going to get in one last bowl before the weather gets bad. Opened up a jar of 2010 Skiff Mixture for the occasion.
Mind the Gap must be a most London of English blends. Is this new?
that flake looks SOOOO GOOOOD!
just ordered some old stock pipes and one of them is going to be a dedicated semois..!
Smoking some Walnut match in my Petersen Dracula.
I have a full cardboard box of tins made between 1960–1963, complete with the original rolling papers, with the "PUSH UP" instructions on the front of the tins, 1 5/8 oz. weight, before the ZIP code was added (the 1963–1964 packaging)—they're all intact except one tin; I suspect you're better off smoking a new batch or something else. Empty vintage tins are easy to come by—ones with tobacco still intact are not—you have a rarity in your possession; if you crack it open, all you will have is a nice condition tin and disappointing smoke.I have a sealed tin, late 60s early 70s I believe. I wanted to open, rehydrate and smoke it, but I was told it would be like smoking paper. LOL
So I’ve never opened it...

Just finished smoking D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Semois is one of the most unique blends. Love this stuff.
It'll be like the earlier version with a few differences.
Sitting on the couch watching Christmas Vacation, drinking whatever whiskey I grabbed. It is -11 here in CO. Enjoying Peretti 150th flake in a Peterson. Great tobacco. Great movie. 
Now smoking D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black p-lip stem. Listening to The Jack Benny Program while I work.
Reading Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land again. While having some Macbaren Plumcake in a Ben Wade Golden Walnut.
