GLP Horizons in an Ashton XXX billiard.
Another bowl of Cringle Flake before I have to start getting ready for work tonight. Pipe is a Lord Clive.
HU Director’s Cut from February 2020 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Today was a quick smoke of Lane 1-Q in a Peterson 150 while running my GSP on a damp cold afternoon. I did not include a picture of the pipe as there are so many of then on this site, don't have a cat so none of them, don't have a horse but I do like horses, so here's one of "mans best friend" and mine also. 
Just finished smoking year 2019 HU Directors Cut in a 2003 smooth reddish brown medium bend, gold banded 3 Star Ferndown Tudor Root with a tapered black acrylic stem. Great smoke, great pipe, and great conversation with a great friend.
Rambling what is arguably my greatest creation, Blend 73’s - or Dan’s Blend in a second generation three star Lee Bull Moose. 73’s is a smooth English Blend with a hint of cherry but in the tradition of SPC Plum Pudding.
Bi-Polar Express in my Castello paneled rhodesian.

Finished a bowl earlier this evening, gonna try it in a different pipe, how did it work out for you?
Wilke’s Rum & Maple in Chacom’s Reverse Calabash.

It’s fantastic stuff. It is billed as a semi-aro but I don’t think of it that way. I think the casings here are beautifully done, integrated and complimentary to the tobaccos. The DFK is not at all overwhelming but there in the background. The Rustica strength comes through nicely. The VA’s lean hard towards empire vs domestic. Deep, rich, filling. I already bought more.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, two and a half pounds of pot roast dinner with freshly made oatmeal raisin and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I'm almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching part two of Holmes vs. Doyle on PBS.
Peretti Yuletide in the SMS Big Bent Lattice Meer and nogged decaf.
First smoke of WCC Bi-Polar Express in a 2014 Savinelli Collection. Mug of warm glühwein on the side.
Smoking Davidoff Red Mixture with some higher nicotine scraps added in yet another self made free hand.
For anyone looking for a healthy dose of vitamin N in their Christmas blend, or any other blend for that matter, this is it! Topping is barely detectable, just tobacco goodness!
🫠I just checked, and this one is still in stock.
Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2010 Amphora Original (Brown) in a full bend barley sandblast Peterson 125th Anniversary 1898-2023 No. 172/330 302 brandy military mount with a silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip saddle stem. I'm in the middle of cleaning pipes. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
