Spent all day traveling for Christmas and after eating I am now enjoying some Lane Limited BCA. It’s great to relax now. 
Thanks! Awesome smoker.
Just you wait, young whippersnapper.
As I stated before, we've got an epic storm system coming in on Tuesday, so today was spent prepping the ranch (as best as possible). My reward for a job well done (or, in the immortal words of J. Peterman, a job...done) was a bowl of Presbyterian in my non-aromatic lat pipe, a Savinelli Bacco 321 rusticated bent author. Amusing from an ecclesiastical standpoint to be smoking this blend on the final night of Chanukah, but I don't plan these things out. 9.5/10
Bird report: Dark-eyed junco, California towhee, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, California quail, White-crowned sparrow, Oak titmouse, Chipping sparrow, House finch, American crow, Hairy woodpecker, American robin, White-breasted nuthatch, Spotted towhee, and Mourning dove.
Looks like I'll be living in a mud pit for the remainder of what was a mostly lousy year. Go figure!

I really like the way this pipe smokes so I am smoking it again with probably my favorite blend if not the one I’m most familiar with. This tobacco is a good barometer for me as I know its character well and have smoked it in many different pipes.
It looks like it would be a good smoker

And the Presbyterian on Hanukkah is a nice touch by the way.

Currently smoking a Latitude Zero Gordo with some Woodinville Whiskey while watching Sunday Night Football.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, haddock and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a sandblasted medium bend 1950s Reuben era Charatan Deluxe 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
2003 McC #24 in my MarTelo billiard.
Ravenwood Moose Marmalade in a Dr Grabow Grand Duke. 
Now smoking year 2013 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a straight smooth brown 1960s-70s BBB Own Make 506 Canadian with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Cleaned a few pipes, gave Harry the Hairy some attention, and we are going to watch the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol.
Billy Budd in a Crown Billiard. Just a half pack but it's doing the trick. Made some molasses for for Christmas and they turned out great.
Enjoying Low Country Carolina Christmas 2024 in a Savinelli Roma 616KS.
Rivertown tobacco works Hazelnut Hollow in a Baraccini Canadian.

At the risk of blaspheming, this blend seems to aim in a similar direction as EGR, but it’s actually more to my taste, perhaps because it has more Virginia.

Haha this is great, I might use poke-roll and grit for some fussy in-laws. Sounds like your Grandpa was a real one.This reminded me of my Grandpa Mac. He was a cook in the civilian conservation corps CCC and raised to appreciate what he had. He didn’t suffer food complaints.
He would say, if you don’t want “this”, you can have some “Poke-roll and grit”. Poke your feet under the table , roll your eyes and grit your teeth, and you might get something to eat now”
I sure miss that man.
You don’t strike me as the trendy type….trying to imagine you dressed like this isn’t working.
