Great looking goose.

Looks like an antler accent?

Enjoyed a tasty orange, and am smoking Wilke Little Round Top in a 1987 smooth medium brown full bend Peterson first series Sherlock Holmes with a silver band and a black vulcanite tapered p-lip stem. It's been a while since I smoked this once heavily smoked pipe. My girl friend at the time bought it for me as a birthday present from the local Tinderbox. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching a Gene Autry movie with Tomato the Brave by my side.

Something new?
So ... "VaPer" ... "VaBur" ... "VaOr" ... "VaKy" ... "VaBurOrKyPer" (???)
How about = "AroPer"?
Having read numerous times that Perique seems to make everything better; I have a half tin left of Ashton's Smooth Sailing & it's been an (aged) enjoyable Aro, for those times when a Sweet Tooth just demands something.
Dried, it burns well, not goopy. So, I took a large pinch (maybe 3-4 pipes), added about 30% C&D Granulated Perique ... (Thank You, Craig, a Pipe Club brother) ... and now have a Home Blend Mixture that just seems to fit with the "aura" of Christmas - New Year's Week, a Holiday time ... Holiday food, Holiday beverages & now a Holiday smoking pleasure. But not trying to usurp any credit here 'cuz I've also read about other folks who've mixed some Perique into BCA, IQ, etc.
When @Sandblast reaches 1000 posts his forum title will change to "inveterate tinkerer." If it is at all possible to do this before then (@didimauw?) that would be good too. Trust me, he's earned it :)

In honor of his tinkerin' and parfait makin' ways I have layered Winchester, then a Winchester X Exclusive mix, then topped it off with some Kajun Kake. Here's to you @Sandblast

Enjoyed a little low calorie snacking, and am half way through this bowl of D&R Penhooker Silver in a 1988 smooth brown three quarter bend Peterson System Standard XL 315 military mount with a nickel cap and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Haven't smoked this once heavily smoked pipe in a while. All the ferals are outside.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a late '80s, early 90s small bend medium brown smooth, unbranded Nording pot with a couple of small rusticated spots, an amber colored acrylic ferrule and tapered stem in the military mount style. Watching an MLB special about the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates.

I dipped into my home infusion experiment. Smoking some HU Makhuwa infused with Amaretto. Its pretty nice. Im not sure if its a repeat on this blend since I like it already the way its made but it is good. It spent about 5 days in a tupperware container with a half shot of booze in a cup in the middle. No direct contact.
