Maybe I could get one for the Redcoats & Revolutionaries events & save the old one for smoking a clay...
If I get a new Redcoat I'd have to VERY CAREFUL not to drop clay pipe ash down it...

Had my afternoon coffee w/wifey in the workspace (I find this Cascadia mug quite useful). Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique in a Stefano Rhodesian. Wifey abhorred the room note--they can't all be winners, I guess.

Bird report: California towhee, Dark-eyed junco, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, White-crowned sparrow, Common raven, and Chipping sparrow.

So it’s been a minute. But lots has happened. Adopted a great rescue pup and moved from LA to Sonoma County. (@Servant King ive driven by you a ton in recent months).

Having my first pipe here. This Scott’s with Fr Dempsey.

Will try to post before and after photos.

Hope everyone’s well. I’ve lurked some but not enough.

My condolences. It's a rather boring drive, always has been, save for that brief period in the early 90s when Christo had all those umbrellas dotting the hillsides.

Good on you for getting out of LA! I myself am approaching the eighth anniversary of my own exodus; you should begin to feel a full-body relaxation quite soon. I've got some friends near you in Sebastopol...lovely terrain up there, and a lot of the same birds as well.

Looks like we've both got some heavy rain incoming...stay dry and enjoy your holiday, my friend!

Cornell and Diehl Burley Flake #1 and a pinch of Sutliff Maple Shadows in a Castello Sea Rock Billiard .

Any idea what year Former that is? Cool one! Looks like 80s or 90s?

Not a clue unfortunately. It was an estate pipe given to me by my wife as a gift at least 15 years ago before prices soared.

Mostly through a bowl of Captain Earle's Ten Russians in the turdiest of the turdy. Hands down my favorite English so far! Thanks, @PaulRVA !

I’m in Sebastopol— so if you have any suggestions let me know. (Like is there a B&M here abouts?)

Your part of the 5 is great if only for the opportunity to drive too fast before slamming into the 405.

Happy holidays to you and yours too!

Now on to some Honor Blend in the Super Briar

 

[PipeIT]

For most of today I've been smoking some kind of English aromatic concoction I made 3 years ago and recently discovered a jar of, in a Medico VFQ squat bulldog. Just got everyone to go to sleep, I had to find a pharmacy that was open late to get cold medicines for my kids and chocolates for my wife, they are sick and they were keeping my wife awake and she was getting cranky lol.

Sorry to hear about the little ones.

I hope all is well and good for the Holidays!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
