Ending the year with H C Anderson pipe with its churchwarden stem and C&D We Three Kings. In the garage with my heater going and some rich dark coffee.

I had to look up Creppypasta. I guess I am too old.
Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Mr. Christian’s Brown Flek 2021 in a straight smooth brown 1950s Comoy’s Selected Straight Grain Extraordinaire bulldog 5 with a diamond shape shank and black vulcanite saddle stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
OJK is a Ser Jacopo. Happy New Year to all. Remember tonight is rookie night so be careful out there.
End of the year treat:
I should never have said it last week:
I'd envisioned some quality time with some quality tobacco, reading some quality books. Ha ha. Sunday night we had a blizzard. At 3:38 AM Monday, the power went out: a 2' diameter tree was uprooted and fell across the road onto a power pole, taking down the lines and shattering 2 poles by my neighbor's house. Long story short, I spent the last 2 days managing the generator and space heaters to keep the house at 50 degrees. The electric company couldn't even get equipment down our road until Tuesday morning, and we finally got power back at 10PM. It wasn't how I'd planned to spend my week off. Today we're thankful to be warm and have power again, and 2026 will bring that whole-house generator my wife has always wanted.
I wish you all a happy, healthy New Year!

Ok with only one hour left of this year, there is time for only one more bowl and I wanted that to be a very special pipe..
This gorgeous Parker Freeform so damaged that it was 100% destined for the bin… thankfully throwing away a pipe is extremely hard for me… after multiple frustrating hours she is all good and cherished as one of my “orphan pipes” and gets to share a special moment… you gotta love a happy ending

Just an hour and a half to go before Mrs. Badger ushers me out of the house to be the first across the threshold in 2026, carrying a parcel containing the Year's Luck. Coffee and Kraken rum, and a clayful of G&H's Dark Plug. I swear that nicotine messes with taste receptors in the brain: for the first time I copped a mouthful of roast beef and English mustard... anyhoo, Happy New Year and Blwyddyn Newydd Dda to you all 
Now smoking year 2016 Wessex Gold Brick 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. Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger are eating. The others went out a few minutes ago.
Derringer in the Briarlee, headed home.
2013 Luxury Bullseye Flake in this Savinelli Logo 606KS. Iced tea. Getting the Weber Kettle ready to cook wings for tonight.
Samuel Gawith Saint James Flake in a Jess Chonowitsch Brandy
Wintertime Reserve Watson / no name Denmark. Happy New Year everyone.
Smoking cube cut St James plug in a Castello. 
2021 GLP Stratford in a cob. It’s still obnoxiously windy in my area, but I managed to find a spot where I could manage it. Getting hints of the citrus and sugar that I know are in there.
HU Director’s Cut in a Castello Aristocratica Pot and an Americano

Ending 2025 with some HU Edward G in my Charatan Executive Lumberman apple while sipping some sparkling water and contemplating the passing year.
Happy New Year to you all and if you get out amongst the masses, be careful, please.
