First smoke of the week, Amphora Virginia in the 2023 annual pipe made for the Greek Pipe Club by carver Tolis Vasiliou. Got 2 pipes yesterday, second hand from a pipe friend, a Falcon and a Canasta (lower cost series of Ardor). My friend is moving more to cigars and wants to reduce the number of his collection. I just increased mine...
A nice last week before Christmas to all of you good people!

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy medium bend 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Smokes as well as a first and worth the $19.95 I paid for it all those years ago. I may end the day with this smoke. Been busy this morning: emptied the dishwasher and put some dirty dishes in, mylared some tobacco, found a bunch of pencil xeroxes from The Golden Pelican series I did years ago, and stuffed them in a recycle bag along with some old Archie scripts. The "penciler" did a weak job, and I had a lot of extra work to do as a result. Have a bunch of paper in the studio to go through, but that'll wait.

Got up to get a drink of water, and saw that the outside motion light was on. I looked out the backdoor window, and saw Abner the Eager on the doormat. I let him in to eat, but had to stay with him to make sure Harry the Hairy didn't bug him. By that time, I was wide awake, so I'm smoking Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in the third pipe I bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight dark brown French briar Hadley NEBPC apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a while. I had to move Harry off my chair to the couch so I could sit down, he didn't like that, and wanted to go outside. Big goofball!
