1/2 of a Flake Estervals Nr.1 that I rubbed out on Tuesday and forgot about in a Santambrogio. 
Sutliff Balkan Supreme in a Tao Handmade bent pot.
Altinay Rusticated Dubmeer with some ‘21 Sutliff 507c. A mug a strong Kenya Tea.
Boxing Day early afternoon smoke. No morning smoke. Slept in 'till 11 am 
Just finished the BEST smoke I've ever had in a Falcon.
Bantam bowl finally completely broken in. Tobacco perfectly suited pipe - taste, burning rate and length (35 minutes) were all grand! So was the music I was listening to: Tchaikovsy's "Cappricio Italian" and Mussorkski''s "Night on a Bald Moutnain" in an absolutely dynamite recording by Mata and the Dallas Symphony, a truly great orchestra. Tobacco was "Traditional English" by TobaccoBarn.
So the bowl and tobacco will stay together, but I'll also smoke other Englishes in the bowl as well. As I have about 12 ounces of Traditional English, though, and only a few ounces of other mild Englishes, there won't be any crossover to worry about! Looking forward to what the PM will bring. Undecided yet.

One more pipa before lunch. Had a couple cigarillos while running errands in town.
In a VA kinda mood. Filling an HS Studio slim bamboo shanked billiard for this one.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Dunhill Royal Yacht in a 1970s smooth brown slight bend GBD International 9665 dublin rough top sitter with a flat bottom and a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Festivities are finished, guests have left for home. I am now relaxing with a bowl of Troutstream in my smooth rhodesian Brigham, and

C&D Cavendish Cut Burley in a Moonshine Leather Sandblasted Devil Anse with a cup of black Chai.
Great pipe and tamper combination . . . I have the entry level Brigham Rhodesian and love it!
Delightful little pipe! I want one!
Now THAT'S a unique cob, from end to end! Never seen anything like it. Suits the outer space fantasy background!!
A couple of minutes away from smoking year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.
GH Brown Flake Unscented in a Pete 2023 POY X160
5 Bros/ half & half in a Pete Cara, took some time off but I am back. 
Wifey smartly decided to take advantage of the wet conditions over Xmas to trim mustang's slightly-more-pliable-than-normal hooves. I of course was the farrier's assistant, for which I chose pre-dried Drew Estate 7th Ave. Blonde in a MM Dagner Poker. 9/10
