Marlin Flake in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Deerstalker 
Mortar: I am a big fan of the Vintage line. Love the Elegante in Vintage. Enjoy!
On the menu for my commute to work this morning was a delightful bowl of 5 Bros loaded in my Georg Jensen extra oil and paired with a black coffee.
I hope your Monday goes by as quickly and painlessly as possibly.

I’m a huge fan of the white stem castellos
Good day, all! I am on a C&D Exclusive kick lately. This time in another Chheda, a...what? Sort of a stack poker/billiard? Italian Roast on the side.
Ampersand Flake in this cob. Finishing up the morning coffee on ice. 9 pound pork shoulder on the 14” Weber Smokey Mountain. Apple wood smoke today.
Back home from Mom's last night, but I have to turn around and go back down to her house on Christmas day.
Enjoying a brief respite from road travel with a generous helping of Hearth & Home Fusilier's Ration in my favorite vintage un-marked meerschaum.
Wish I knew more about the pipe itself, but It was an Ebay estate purchase 20 years ago. No markings on it whatsoever. It's a great smoker though, and what's cooler than an Oom Paul-ish castle turret carved in solid-block meerschaum with a faux tortoise lucite stem?

Second Cigar on the day, another Aladino Vintage Rothschild. Had an espresso before the cigar, but I'm currently drinking a cherry Pepsi. Boys playing in the back yard. Easy day.
CS Cowboy Coffee in the IMP bent egg, black french roast coffee on the side.
GH & Co Bes Brown Flake #2 in an MM Pony 
Meerschaum Monday, therefore Peterson's Irish Flake in the Barling Meer. With black coffee. Mrs. Badger's birthday today so, I having brought the tree indoors, she gets to decorate it while I put the rest of the decorations up: a family tradition going back to when she was little and - to compensate for all those "this is for Christmas AND your birthday" presents year on year - the Christmas tree was always her prerogative.
Jazz: I have not tried it but I am interested. I was always fascinated with Tibetan Yak Butter Tea and tried, idiotically, to order it once in a Tibetan restaurant in Toronto. The server looked at me like I was nuts.An absolutely beautiful, calm, mid-50s night -- hoping we get some more of this. I haveWe Three Kings
I guess I've got a similar "mash-up" going as @Servant King , with WTK after lighting the Chanukah candles earlier this evening. Not to mention, my menorah sits right next to my Christmas poinsettia ... we're multi-celebratory over here.
Drinking something new: Harney & Sons Dark Tibet Tea.Really nice black tea. (@CPT Have you tried it? It doesn't have the smokiness of Caravan, but it does have a pleasant deepness to the flavor.)
I also noted your earlier post about adding Lampsang Souchong to Russian Country. I have a tin of Harney and Sons Lampsang and will experiment with adding some to Russian Country. When I hit the right ratio, I will call it JazzinAZ Blend!
Cigar Time: My Father Le Bijou 1922
Awesome pipe ! And the tobacco is not to shabby either.

Every time I see a Deerstalker, I think it has such elegant lines. Great pic.
