Really love your new Christmas Chacom.
Puffing on some From Beyond in a Nording partially rusticated Billiard. Good band practice and this might just be my winter blend. Each smoke reveals something different, and I like it. This pinch seems full of that aged Latakia and it's heavenly tasting.
The last of my Ye Olde Signe in ye olde birthyear Dunnie. I really enjoyed this blend, haven't found anything quite like it. Will have to try the RMc Shakespeare... Oh, and Lemon Ginger tea on the side.
Hey thanks! I'm really digging it myself. One of my prettier Christmas pipes I think.PP, I feel warmer just from your photo, ha ha!
Really love your new Christmas Chacom.
You can almost feel the warmth coming off my parabolic heat dish, right?
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am near the last third of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Gorgeous blast and stem work right there. Very nice!
An SMS full of the Farthing after dinner this evening pour moi.
Port Guardian in an Altinay. If you like Red virginia, you should try this one.
Slightly off-topic. Peterson is preparing for his anniversary.

Wow, this is a really, really nice cigar. Amazing amount of flavor.
Just finished smoking year 2013 Germain’s Plum Cake in an undated, unbranded straight lattice meerschaum military mount with a silver cap and tapered yellow acrylic stem. The ferals came in, ate and left. Tomato the Brave did play with the catnip sock a little. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Almost a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a straight smooth dark brown 1950s Comoy’s Deluxe apple military mount with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo.
Did some low calorie snacking, and am passing the last third of this bowl of year 2020 H&H Chatham Manor in a straight smooth 2023 Peterson Red Killarney 53 lovat with metal accents around the shank and a black acrylic p-lip saddle stem. Tomato the Brave came in to eat some dry food. After that, he laid down near my feet and stared at me. I spoke very softly to him, and he went to sleep with a big smile on his face. He'd probably still be there if Sleepy Suzy hadn't gotten jealous and jumped off my chair to stare at him. Tomato got up and went out. Suzy looked at me like she'd just chased off a bank robber.
Morning smoke of Ye Olde Signe by Dunhill out of a Savinelli Punto Oro 1003
HU Nashville County instead of the usual C&D Burley blend. The pipe remains the same, a Pete SPD 2011 69. 
Half way through this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Gold Flake in a straight smooth brown Algerian briar post-WW2-mid 50s family era Barling’s Make Ye Olde Wood Special Made in England squat dublin with a tapered black ebonite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Been enjoying quiet reading time.
Enjoyed a tasty Sweet Tango apple, and am not far from finishing 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. I let the ferals in to eat even though Molly Danger was lying on the den floor. I knew that I was taking a chance of trouble, but it was time for the ferals to eat. All ate well almost without trouble. Tomato the Brave has always been nervous about Molly because of all the times she's hissed him. He came from the kitchen to the den and was afraid to go further because Molly gave him a deep stare. She hissed him and Tomato ran to the back door. I rubbed the top of his head in an effort to settle him down. That didn't work, but feeding him Temptation treats did. I picked him up and took him to the couch to lay on his favorite blanket. I sat down next to him. Tomato got a ton of attention and was purring loudly.
As I did that, I saw Harry the Hairy come my way very slowly in order to avoid Molly. I called his name, patted my knee and knowing what that meant, he came to me. I gave him a little of attention, and he surprisingly jumped on the couch on the other side of Tomato. Guess he felt safer with me in between them. I gave both attention at the same time, and got dual motor action for about twenty minutes. After that, Harry jumped down and went to the kitchen to eat, and then wanted out. Tomato got up a few minutes later, and wanted out. My last smoke ended during that time, but this smoke was worth the wait to make sure everybody knows that they are important to us.
Daisy the Feral Princess was a little nervous, too, and when she came in, Molly stared at her from about a foot away. Daisy stared at her, and then I came in with a plate of wet food and fed her a few feet away so she'd feel comfortable while she ate. After that, she laid down near my feet while I was doing double cat rotting duty on Tomato and Harry. She went back to the kitchen to nibble, and then wanted out. One minuted later, Daisy was banging at the door wanting back inside. Molly hissed her, and Daisy came by my feet. I tried to move her to the couch to settle down, but she jumped down right away and is staring at me while Molly is in the kitchen to eat. I know that stare of Daisy's: she wants more wet food. I'll give her more after I post this smoke.
