Finished all leaf raking operations for the year!
I’m relaxing in the greenhouse (57 degrees
) with Russian Caravan tea and some C&D We Three Kings in the Altinay Rusticated Dublin Meer.

Sir Walter Raleigh (2023) in a Bones billiard.
Smoking 2019 Irish Whiskey in my new pete 309
On the menu for my first smoke of the day was a bowl of C&D Golden Days of Yore loaded in my Chacom Prestige Billiard with a saddle stem and paired with a black coffee.
Hope you all have a great day!

Then had a demo/form job go to hell quick, was gonna let my crew take the lead (two guys that are still a in the consciously incompetent phase), but I had to jump in early and show ‘em how it’s done (all of it).
Bounced back and forth between the Kaywoodie push stem 8751 and a Ropp J11P with GLP Fillmore, OJKB, and my Dark Sails mix as work allowed, glad I packed two good clenchers today!

OJK in a WDC Milano Hesson Guard pot from around 1940. The chamber is 1” wide.
Sadly an old name. Ryan Quaglata made pipes for a few years and stopped. He did some wonderful work.
Casey Jones Beyond Brave in a Peterson 87 Short Army.
Just wrapping up service work down here in Charleston.
Even though it feels like the back of my throat is mincemeat, I've loaded Sweet Velvet in this monstrous Savinelli Hercules to begin the drive home.

Just finished smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match In a black sandblasted full bend 2025 Rinaldo YY Lithos dublin with a tapered amber tortoise shell acrylic stem. Had a great chat with a great friend. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
It was pretty good, still feeling out how much I like that blend. I got that tin, Hal o' The Wind, and Bagpiper's Dream. I had a bowl of Bagpiper's last night and loved it immediately, and I had Hal o' The Wind today and enjoyed it. Normally I wouldn't buy so much at once, but there was a great sale on so I paid less than I would've for my usual order.
I think my problem with that particular blend was that the pipe I tried it in was having draw issues for some reason (even though I had just cleaned it) so I wasn't able to enjoy it as much as I probably could've. I think it was probably just user error (bad packing or something) but I'll probably try it again tomorrow in a different pipe.
Part way through this bowl of year 2015 Mac Baren Virginia #1 in a straight black 1925 Dunhill patent shell Canadian 33 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Chatting with my sister.

Cold and cloudy all day. The high around 30 with freezing rain last night. Still cold but should be dry for a day or so.
Had some HU English Breakfast in a Peterson Galway #417. Our Husky, Jade, wanted to get in on the action.

Well, I screwed up that bowl. Rather than fight it, I just knocked it out and decided to start over.
Stop for refreshment on the way out of Charleston and loaded up more Sweet Velvet in this Rossi Dublin.
Been off the forum for a few days getting caught up, lit up a bowl of ravenwood 11th day of Christmas in a Gifted to me Peterson 2025 Terracotta POTY dang good blend, wish I could have grabbed some Country Squires Figgy Pudding
