LJ Peretti Thanksgiving Mixture from 2017 in this Ropp Etudiant. 
Loaded up some of @Ben.R.C favorite, Chenet’s Cake in a Savinelli Dolomiti 311KS. This is definitely a blend worth trying if you're a VaPer fan. This stuff is outstanding!
Now smoking year 2021 Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Having Peterson Early Morning Pipe in a Peterson Silver Cap Natural 01 Bent Pot (1991) with a P-Lip stem.

Cigar time: Aladino Queens Perfecto. Hmm.. jury is out. Expectations can be tricky, eh? 
Yep, i certainly wouldn't buy one now either. I got this one maybe 14 or 15 years ago. It was somewhere around 15% of those prices. For that kind of money, i'm all in. :PNoooooo don’t say the B Word! 🫨
It brings tears to my eyes... LOL
Ever since many of us, for what seemed like years yaking about his pipes on his Ali Express store, I think most of us were very skeptical to buy from there, me included.
Now I beat myself daily over the head, ever since he retired, and I didn’t take a chance before on Ali Express.
And to make matters worse, ahhhh pipes for sale, but holy crap, you see them prices.
Ohhhh how I’d love that straight Apple for sale…. So sad they get jacked up like four times over cost.

Luckily, for those in the market for a meer, there are still some good quality pipes out there for decent prices if one looks in the right places.
I'm currently working on a bowl of Reserve du Patron in a Hoskinson Handmade XL egg. I've got maybe 1 or 2 more in me tonight and then i'm gonna call it...
Richmond Medium Navy Cut in an Altinay.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69. 
Passing the half way mark of this bowl of Wilke Little Round Top in an undated straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Sterling bulldog 150 with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Abner the Eager was hiding behind the couch for the entire evening. He came out to eat, but Tomato the Brave chirped at him, and Abner ran back to where he was. I managed to get him out, and took him to the kitchen to eat. He's on the sofa now. I fed all the other cats after that.
Breaking in my favorite pipe with my favorite tobacco. Castello 55 KK collection Occhio di Pernice.
Smoking Nightcap with an IPA before bed. God forbid STG ever discontinue the Dunhill classics.
OJK in a Georg Jensen Orange 92 and a second cup of coffee. 
About a quarter of a bowl left of year 2020 D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black p-lip stem. Finished this Archie story I've been working on, except for touching up the last three pages. I'll do that tomorrow.
Last one for me tonight. Late night bowl of Penny Farthing in a Moretti morta nosewarmer.
Seeing in the dawn with a random mix of Old Dark Fired and Irish Cask, in the M Elliott rusticated bent billiard. And coffee. Black as the retreating night. The pig is a Gloucester Old Spot.
G&H Coniston Cut Plug in a little Meer I got at McCranie’s in Charlotte, NC. 
White Horses plus a pinch of extra perique in a Ser jacopo
