Dessert, followed by New Riff Bourbon (100 proof, high rye mashbill), followed by Eastfarthing in a Savinelli Churchwarden, followed by Maltese Falcon in a Neerup Volcano.
Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2012 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. My favorite pipe. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Daisy the Feral Princess came in, ate, and has followed us around when we get up out of our chairs. Guess she needs the exercise.
Now smoking year 2015 John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia in a straight smooth light brown 2020 Ryan Alden Ace of Spades squat bulldog with a spalted pecan top and ferrule that’s attached to the tapered black acrylic stem.
Pegasus in a Savinelli, with some Coffee, Merry Christmas brothers of the Briar!
Just arrived home from a lunch at my brother’s
Time for a 2nd bowl - some hoarded Sutliff Mixture 79
In a Karl Eric saddle-stemmed bent egg nosewarmer

Samuel Gawith Commonwealth in a Savinelli Autograph No. 4 bent Dublin.
Snacked a little, and then smoked a bowl of year 2023 John Aylesbury Scottish Blend in a 2002 black pebble finish straight Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano lovat with a black acrylic saddle stem.
I've passed the half way mark of this bowl of first production Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a year 2021 straight black sandblasted Peterson Ragaire 150 bulldog with an unmounted army mount tapered acrylic cumberland fish tail stem.
Tomato the Brave came in to eat and play in the Puma box. Molly Danger was in one of the card board boxes. When Tomato grabbed the rope with his teeth and started running with it, Molly followed him to the kitchen. Tomato got nervous, and they had a stare down, which I broke up. After I got Molly to go back to the box that she was in, I played rope with Tomato in the kitchen. That lasted about a minute because he was very nervous knowing that Molly was watching him, and he went outside. He knows never to mess with Molly, but he’ll be back before long. if Molly’s still in the den, I’ll take her to the bedroom so Tomato will be at ease.

Sail Yellow in a Sav Roma Lucite 122. This was only my second bowl of this blend. I like it, but I'm still putting it through its paces. I do notice that one must watch their cadence with this stuff, too fast and it bites.
A wonderful rainy Christmas day, bright and clean after a stormy Eve. Preparing a few Davidoff Flake Medallions to enjoy them in the bowl of my Stanwell Brass Band 85 pipe, out in the sun.
Merry Christmas to you All!
Merry Christmas to you All!
Merry Christmas to All.
Starting the day as usual with Briar Fox in a Pete SPD 2011 69.

Happy Yuletide to Y'All, Starting the Day with a bowl full of Amphora Reds Full in an Ashton XX Pebble Grain Long Billiard anno 2025
Thank you, @mmmpeace . Merry Christmas!
On the menu for my last smoke on Christmas eve is a bowl of C&D Kelly's Coin, provided by my PMSS, loaded in my Shillelagh falcon with a meer bowl.
Trying out Peter Stokkebye Peaches & Creme in my old faithful Country Gentleman cob tonight. 
It is absolutely bonkers how peachy this stuff is! There's not many aromatics that just sledgehammer you over the head with whatever the flavor is supposed to be, and make it delicious on top of that, but Peter Stokkebye Peaches & Creme definitely joins my short list of blends that really nail it. Some others that come to mind are Smoker's Pride Cherry Cavendish, Samuel Gawith Fire Dance Flake, and Sutliff Rum & Maple. In any case, Peter Stokkebye Peaches & Creme certainly makes my "Nice!" list this Christmas.

Just finished smoking year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Cleaned a few pipes while I chatted with my sister.
