Pegasus in this little Kai Nielsen got me 30 minutes to family's house and 30 minutes home and then some.

Then EP Carrillo Encore "majestic" in the garage with my buddy.
Now 2013 Stonehaven in the Castello Billiard

Hope you all had a nice holiday.

I was merely the postie. The thought did cross my mind to swipe the pipe and go off the grid…but then I’d miss out on the next box pass.

ps luxury navy flake - tekin bowl 49

This pipe is really just tasting like burley after almost 50 bowls of it and subtle va flavors aren't singing as much. Still a decent enough bowl though.

Did some low calorie snacking, and passing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2021 unreleased Sutliff Black Virginia Flake in a late 80's, early 90s James Upshall P DS Tilshead England Made By Hand L185 Canadian with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

D&S Merry Monk in the pressed/composite meer my wife got me for Christmas from Royal Meerschaum. Pipe seems to smoke as well as any of my others, well constructed and drilled.

The Christmas tree is made from clay pipe stems found in the River Thames; the top one looks like a Civil War 17th century pipe.

When did you switch to your rightful title?!

Nearing the half way mark of this bowl of Watch City Original Crumb Cut in a 1950s-60s straight smooth brown Bertram 07 octagonal paneled billiard with a square shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave were the only ferals out there as of a few minutes ago. We've seen a lot less of Abner the Eager at night because Tomato bullied him a couple of times when Abner was snoozin' in one of the houses we had made for them. I hate that this has happened, and hope it'll change, but if not, we'll do the best we can.

@AroEnglish Just this week I think "Clay King" sounds like a pipe baccy

Last smoke of the day is Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a slight bend smooth brown post WWII 1940s Sasieni Ivory 101 Westminster diplomat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Still have a few things to do.

Happy Monday/Tuesday for those still at it.

I think everybody should have smoke after fifteen minutes of sleep. The one good thing about being up is seeing Abner the Eager show up. I gave him much more than the usual, and he ate most of it. I'm smoking year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy medium bend 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Smokes as well as a first and worth the $19.95 I paid for it all those years ago. Going to see if some reading might make me sleepy.

Some Moroccan Bazaar in an old Chacom I brought back from the grave. Not a lot of spice taste because of covid but its still a pleasant smoke if I dont tell my brain it tastes wrong.

Its 65 and sunny today

Good Boxing Day, y'all. The Clay King and his opponents in the first English Civil War have declared a holiday truce, so he's happy, I'm done with my sister inlaw's dumb as a post (apologies to posts) boyfriend for another year, so I'm happy, and you guys are probably having a peaceful smoke, so you're happy. Everyone's happy!

Happily enjoying some Exclusive in a Bogelund.
