1/2 a pub pipe of Lane 1-Q to end the year on a sweet note while dinner was baking: Baked seasoned breaded Salmon with Roma tomatoes and sweet onion strips, on the side: asian stir fry vegetables and small golden potatoes with butter and rosemary. A favorite dinner (to make and eat) and favorite tobacco. A Happy, Blessed and Healthy New Year to all members and moderators and their families and friends !

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner strawberries for dessert. I've a third of a bowl left of year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching The Thin Man.

My last smoke of the year is a San Cristobal Revelation.



It was going to be my New Year's Eve cigar last year, but I got the flu instead. The San Cristobal is much more pleasant. May you all have a happy, healthy, prosperous, and blessed year in 2025!

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a smooth straight brown 1950 Dunhill 48 bulldog group 4 root briar with a black vulcanite fish tail saddle stem. A big storm hit, and three ferals were at the door wanting in. I let them in and dried them off, so everybody's inside now.

[dottlejockey]

Not sure if it's the last smoke of the year, but it's close. Might have one or two more in me, depending on how late i stay up. But making it back to the smoke lounge i was hankering for some Louisiana Broken in my big ole Radice Rind.

 

[rsshreck32]

Burley Flake #2 in a Rossi. Out here in the garage smoke shack, smoking a pork butt along with some sauerkraut and hot dogs for the midnight celebration. Gonna open up my most recent TAD acquisition in a few minutes.

Happy New Years and may the Lord bless 2025 for all you Brothers of the Briar, wherever you may be.
