Great choice, it's definitely my favorite from Oliva's lineup.

'21 Windjammer in a Kai Danish Dublin
Enjoyed a light snack, and have about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2021 KBV Your Welcome in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) Canadian Club 230 eight paneled billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Meers and glass in the hot tub, you live dangerously but carefully I’m sure.
23 Folklore in my Chinese Canadian and some red wine. Just watched Red One and OMG! New xmas classic, and gddamn tear jerker at the end. 5/5!
Wilke Crystal Palace in a Northern Briars Premier Rox Cut Lovat.
Enjoyed a little play time with Molly Danger, and am now smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69. 
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. All the ferals wanted back inside because of the rain, and are eating except for Harry the Hairy, who didn't show when I went outside.
Seconds after I posted this, I heard Harry the Hairy outside, so he's in now, too.

Happy Birthday.The Brisket is done and resting. Having a grand get together this evening for a joint Hanukkah dinner and to commemorate completing another trip around the sun today.
Just finishing up the last of this bowl of November 2020, MB London blend in a Bertram 30, pot. Love this pipe.

Since SP had 15% of pipes today, I decided I would buy myself a birthday pipe!
A new Peterson, Newgrange 406. Been wanting one of these for awhile. And it came with free tin of baccy.

Smoking a bowl of Amaretto infused Makhuwa in a kai Brandy.
I’m going to try the second of the four pipes I got from China a little while back. The four of them cost a total of $10.78, including shipping—that’s just $2.695 per pipe. I bought them for the brand name alone, which I still find very amusing.
Going to have Sutliff Blenders Collection Per G. Jensen Aromatic #4 in a Pedestrian Corn Cob with bent, pebble finish, filtered, plastic amber stem (I opted not to use the paper filter, and instead inserted a Savinelli 6mm adapter) while I watch more of the 2024/2025 Paddy Power World Darts Championship.
Gotta love the fancy packaging!

I enjoyed another great Saturday afternoon ZOOM get-together with my pipe buddies, as I smoked my late 70s-early 80s Castello Sea Rock KKKK 49 (Carlo Scotti) filled with 1980 Drucquer Royal Ransom (Oh, my, what a terrific tobacco).
A mug of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey Coffee was my beverage.

Close to finishing this bowl of Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a year 2021 straight black sandblasted Peterson Ragaire 150 bulldog with an unmounted army mount tapered acrylic cumberland fish tail stem. That'll do it for me today.
Happy birthday, @Fralphog !

Happy birthday, friend.
Smoking mb# scottish blend. In a MM General. With a (carajillo), in Spain it means black coffee with brandy. You can add whiskey, rum, there are people who put whiskey cream. But really the original, it is with brandy, and if you have cognac, then great. I wish you a happy Sunday. May God bless you.
Starting the day with EMP in the Cobbit again
It's been a real night of discovery for me tonight! To wind down the evening before bed I'm trying rope tobacco for the first time, with Gawith Hoggarth Happy Brown Bogie in a Rattray's Blower's Daughter.
It was surprisingly easy to cut off thin little coins with a pair of very sharp sewing scissors, and the coins rubbed out to a fine ribbon cut with little effort. Based on the appearance and the smell of the ropes I was expecting a harsh and abrasive smoking experience, but after giving it a little dry time it was actually perfectly smooth like pure Virgina stoved to the point that all the acidity just disappears; but with the rich full fireplace smokiness of a dark fired Virginia mixed in. It's a really pleasant assortment of all the darkest and eartheist Virginia flavors, with a powerful extra strong nicotine kick that definitely puts a smile on my face. This most certainly is a happy blend indeed!
