Had some CS Cowboy Coffee in a Grabow with actual coffee, believe it or not.

Buoy Gold in a rare totally smooth Marxman Big Boy:
Cracked a tin of Treasures of Ireland Limerick to christen a new Vauen Kira pipe.
Sillem's Mayor 1814 Flake in a Gefapip 2500 canadian with morning coffee. This is really a nice flake, imho! Big thank you to @Hillcrest for finding the Sillem's history page that answered my question to the name of the blend. If I read it right, Mayor 1814 refers to Martin Garlieb Sillem who became Mayor following the city's liberation from Napoleon in 1814...
Sure John’s Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink. The snow has stopped, and the streets aren't bad at all. I'll go outside to see if Tomato the Brave and/or Abner the Eager are around, and decide whether or not to do a set of walking reps.
Nice. This gives me hope that I can find something like it from the current production.
Looks like Christmas time out here, so it's Low Country Carolina Christmas in a Savinelli St. Nicholas 2024 billiard. Absolutely delicious. Happy IPSD all!
HU Louisiana Broken in a Santambrogio Bent Pot. 
Me three! Did the same with my Ropp 350, an estate pipe. Did a "gord style" ersatz repair. Works but not permanent Pipe smokes too well to give up on it, so I'll be looking into options. These kind of things cheer me up.
Ah...Limerick.
Here's my favorite, as a half-Irishman:
The limerick is furtive and mean,
You must keep her in close quarantine.
'Ere she sneaks to the slums,
And quickly becomes
Drunken, debauched and obscene.
Edward G. Robinson in a Peterson rusticated system standard 302. Like many of you, I’ll miss this blend.
Erinmore Flake in a cob. I bought this tin and another at a B&M in 2012 or 2013. The tins were “Made In Belfast” Murray’s tins, but with STG stickers. My guess is that this was some of the first Danish production when STG was still using up the leftover Murray’s tins. So maybe 2006 or 2007? This tin has been in a jar since 2013, with very occasional openings since then. The topping still pops (thus the cob so I don’t ghost anything), but it is soft as silk. I wonder what the second tin will be like when I get to it.
EDIT: in the second half of the bowl there is a deep buttery/brown sugar flavor coming on. Think oatmeal pie without the oatmeal.

Five Brothers in the Devil Cutty. 
Question on this, or for anyone who knows - a friend of mine has a 3D printer, and has printed me a few "gizmos" that I put on the end of my longstems after installing a plastic nylon tip from a cigarillo, but he is reluctant to duplicate the stem on my Ropp 350 because he maintains that the composite used on 3D printers is not food grade.
Can anyone enlighten me on this? Apparently nylon is food grade inert, but is not made in 3D fodder. He's a tekkie, and an expert - runs the computer systems for BC Northern Health. His printing is stunning, to say the least.
Heads up, brother! Black House is in stock at Pipes And Cigars!
Enjoying a bowl of LJ Peretti smiths own on this icy day in a Peterson 309 rusticated standard system with Plip
Man, I grabbed one of the last Rusticated 309s when they dropped them during the sale to $90! I'm sure they'll run these again, but 90. bucks ...!!!
Robert Mc Connel Scottish Cake in the Falcon, working week close to end (if you work Mo-Fr that is...), keep calm good people!
