Good Morning One and All. Definitely an in-day - bit of a blizzard out there. Getting back in the groove after recent festivities and contrainments, and will be posting normally from now on, unless the Pilsbury Doughboy crosses over the hill and delivers another surprise. 
Hope not. Had enough of them lately. In any case, going to do this morning post then spend a pleasant hour or two reviewing ten pages or so of posts I missed while in recovery. Here's the morning agenda, which I'm working on now. Currently clamping on the long MM Miniature, stuffed with my own "Gord's Grape," a rather tasty blend I concocted last year. Then I'll go to the MM Mini and smoke Captain Black's Cherry Cavendish, get to the Kwiki Chocolate cheap cigar, and chomp on it while reviewing posts.
Skippable Drivel will explain the upcoming day's agenda, which I find interesting but you may not. That's why it's Skippable Drivel lol.
Skippable Drivel: I have a rather neat collection of pipsqueaks, eight or nine, and am going to smoke them all today. They're all genre or specific tobacco dedicated, and I'm gonna stuff 'em loose and have eight or nine little smokes throughout the day, each with a different tobacco. I'll post a conglomerate shot at days end of the whole shebang. My tastebuds are pretty decent right now, and I might even try "Mad Fiddler." Opened up one of my two remaining tins the other day after about a six month hiatus, and put a jar of it on the rack. Lookin' Forward. And looking forward to commenting on some of the magnificent pipes I've spotted in my pre-post scan.

Smoked a bunch of Sutliff match RR in pipes and shot a bunch fake birds. Had a blast with the fellas.
2013 PS English Oriental Supreme in this Savinelli Logo 606KS. Diet Dr. Pepper.
BBF in an Altinay on way to harvest some groceries.
Enjoyed an awesome lunch: four thick pastrami pita bread sandwiches, unsalted peanuts, pistachios, a big golden delicious apple, a big slice of pecan pie, and a small bowl of rocky road ice cream. I just finished smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Nightwish, neat, is my drink. All the ferals are in and snoozin'. Daisy the Feral Princess is sleeping with her belly in the air and her paws stuck up.
Sutliff Field and Stream Match in a Savinelli La Corta bulldog, enjoying the balmier weather and taking a break from splitting wood.

Now smoking and reviewing GLP Silver Jubilee 25th Anniversary in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem. This goes on sale Dec. 10. at 6 p.m. EST. I got Watch City Kringle's Koncoction today, too.
HU Dark Moor in a Castello KK10 Bent Sea Rock and Diet Coke on the side
2020 Cringle Flake in a meer brandy shape.
7/23 Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in an Altinay.
If she's gonna be stuck up, better it's her paws, than her attitude!
@gord I love how your Skippable Drivel section gets a formal introduction!
As for me:
Trying something new today, for the holidays! Cracked my tin of We Three Kings, packed into a Neerup Classic 4 Bent Dublin Sitter.
I really like this. No drying time, burning cool. Very smooth. I'm finding it quite mild in flavor - was expecting more pop. It reminds me of a mild, pleasant aromatic like Macanudo America Blend, but with a little addition, I'm assuming it's the Turkish. My buds also feel a little de-sensitized today, so that could be part of it.Beautiful 50 degree afternoon. H-E-B Taste of Austin (pecan/cinnamon) coffee

Sheltering from the cold in the local lounge, working on finishing a tin of War Horse.
Picking up my Umineko reread after months - book 4 truly is the weakest of the first four, because it spends so much time in 1998 away from the murders and the main cast.

Cornell and diehl Mississippi Mud in a Peterson Dracula
Just finished putting up the outside Christmas lights. Rewarding myself with a bowl of Virginia Slices in an old Knute. Ho Ho Ho.
Very nice pipe, and better yet, it suits you. Been my observation that, much as we all like long bent pipes, they don't suit many of our face shapes. Of course, it is all a part of the panoramic views that these cellphones make, with skewered perspective, as well. Nicely done.
Been pounding Uhle Old Shoe in the recent added to rotation cob as of late. Plenty of looks from other cars as I drive around town shopping and puffing.
Man, for a guy we (or at least me) associate with cigars and golf courses, you sure have some magnificent pipes. This one is just, to my eyes, absolutely marvellous! Taking some nice color, too. I should live that long for my poor trio of meers!
