1st bowl of a new blend Estervals Nr.1 blended by MacBaren recieved as a Christmas gift from Estervals. The pipe a Savinelli Dolimiti 311KS. 
Match Sunrise in my new Brulor Mowbray, with coffee on the side. This little pipe gets pretty hot, maybe it will get better when it has developed a cake.
CRF24 in the Devil Cutty getting me through another day. 
Lunting with a Marxman Jumbo and a bowl full of 88s. The blend is a mild Virginia, burley, Oriental that improves with aging.
Smoking a bowl of mb# Amphora Full, in a MM General, accompanied by a few shots of Knob rye. It's amazing, how the whiskey, makes the cold go to hell, or so I think. My wife went to buy something she forgot at the supermarket. I told her, go ahead, I'll be fine. And she put her hand on my forehead. I wish you a Merry Christmas dinner. May God bless you.

Folklore in the Imp Sitter with morning coffee. Happy Christmas Eve, everyone. May Love and Joy be with you and yours!
Clearing snow with a bowl of Burley Morning Pipe.
And the same to you! Amphora Rich (we get it up here in Canada as Amphora Absolute) is one of my favourite tobaccos. Ya got good taste! Neat cob, too!
A very good idea with any pipe, once in a while! Even a dedicated one!
I am very happy for you my friend. Great tobacco.

I've finished my home-rolled little cigars project. Didn't spend much more time on it, because a trend had established itself. KEEP IT SIMPLE. Complex tobaccos and Latakia just don't make it as do plain codjers and mono flavoured aromatics. The five best tasting home-rolls, confirmed by several of my smoking buddies, are, in order of my preference but this varied with my friends, are:
1. Sir Walter Raleigh pipe tobacco
2. Captain Black Cherry tobacco
3. Borkum Riff Dark
4. Backwoods Buttered Rum
5. Smoker's Pride Classic Blend
A few others were okay, but once in a while as the spirit leads. Plain and simple works best, just as in regular cigars. As a final comment, my Skragg tailings worked out surprisingly well, so if you decided to invest 50 bucks in one of these machines, load up your tailings! and smoke them. You might be surprised. Me and my buddies were! And as a bonus, you'll get a collection of tailings from the cigar making process as a by-product of the manufacture. Just collect them and use them. They'll be fine! No need for me to try more, as the predictable trend of simplicity in tobacco had established itself.
I had a bit of fun with the last tobacco I tried, Backwoods Buttered Rum. Took the photo and did up a graphic to end the project and the forum members' misery at my posting them.
Have a most Blessed Christmas, one and all. Disappearing for a couple of days, eh?

Just cracked a tin of Scottish Cake to add to the holiday spirit around here. Going to fire up the Pete bulldog and grab a beer. Merry Christmas everyone
This pipe has a character that I'm appreciating more and more in the pipe world . . . . simple elegance.
Man, are the members putting on a display today! Absolutely beautiful pair of pipes!

Getting a brief moment of peace walking Welly before, Ding Dong, and everyone descends on my place for Christmas Eve. Pulled out some rarely smoke Hearth and Home Anniversary blend.
A third of a bowl left of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. Daisy the Feral Princess, too. I'll check on the other ferals soon. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
