Enjoying this first bowl of WCC Bi-polar in an altinok bulldog and maybe it’s the nicotine talking but does anyone else see the subliminal message in the bears nose on the left? The depression bear? Turn it upside down for clarity. Anyway, hi there

You have so many PSB’s that are just spectacular. I love the X105’s and I have one but I swear I haven't found one as nice as this. That blast and shaping is just rocking.WC Strange Magic in a Pete PSB X105
More Gawith and Hogarth Dark Bird's Eye shag in the Northern Briars stepped Dublin. 
Match Victorian in the Color Duke.
Sun’s setting further south, it may cool down a bit finally (mid-seventies today).

Steamworks in a Wiley with some Stranahan's Blue Peak Single Malt on the side.
Kicking off the evening, after dinner and a handful of other little chores, with a bowl of Aus Dem Krater plug in an Ahmet Govem commission piece and a dram of 18 yr malt whisky.
La Brumeuse in a Falcon
It really burns quickly: the bowl lasted about 15 minutes, so I clearly need to pack it tighter. It doesn't seem to have the complexity of Reserve du Patron, but is still very flavorful.

Another bowl of C&D CRF w/ Perique 2023 in a Peterson Christmas 2023.
Thanks, being picky and patient paid off.
This afternoon, Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in an Altinay.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, orange roughy and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a slight bend 1968 group 4S Dunhill Shell 475 cherrywood with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Merry Christmas Eve Eve! 2005 Christmas Cheer in a Golden Square Meerchaum lined billiard. Battling some serious wind! 
'Twas the night before Christmas (Eve), right now.
Just loaded a Canadian with a (new) Parfait:
Bottom half = Mac Baren Club Blend
Top half = McClelland Royal Cajun Special
Sort of a mild Wintery (for MN) evening, snow cover all around, temp just under freezing.
Got a pan filled with Pea Soup w/Smoked Pork Hocks & root veggies warming on the stove.
Deciding on which "Adult Beverage" to add alongside.
Made a run to the Post Office this afternoon.
Listened, earlier, to couple versions of What Child Is This (a sentimental favorite, usually bringing a tear to my eye), aka Greensleeves.
Had figured a Beef Rib Roast on Christmas Day, but new plans will be Boneless Leg of Lamb with Greek Lemon Potatoes. Beef or a Pork Roast will be "on deck" next week. Pecan Pie (oh yeah) will finish up. Keeping old family traditions alive, there'll be Oyster Stew tomorrow night. Mashed Rutabagas will accompany the Christmas afternoon meal.

Second bowl of this year's Cringle Flake in my Santa Claus meer. I know I'm late to this party (thanks USPS), but this release is fantastic. If it truly is the end, it's an excellent finale.
2018 Cabbie’s in my Cavicchi oval shank saddle billiard.
