Now smoking the last of my open stash of Ken Byron Ventures Bas Matica in a 1979 smooth brown large calabash briar 221-B Baker Street made in Israel with a black vulcanite stem and ferrule in the military mount style. Have a little bit in a small jelly jar which I will get to at a later date.
HU English Breakfast in a birth year GBD City deLuxe gold star bent Rhodesian pipe with a saddleback stem.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and my last smoke of the day is P&W Nut Brown Burley in a 2016 PSF POY quarter bend black sandblasted Vermont Freehand egg with an aluminum band and a tortoise shell colored acrylic saddle stem.
Some local "My Own Blend" Christmas tobacco (Julefred) in a bones. Hanging out in my favourite birdwatching tower.
D&R Ramback Gold tweaked with Perique & DFK, in a no-name Santa Claus figural meer, with coffee and the morning paper.
An unlabeled plug (not sure if it is Revor or Warrior plug) in a Falcon Shillelagh pipe with a Leopard Meer bowl. Bright & sunny but with a chilly breeze.
Davidoff Flake Medallion in a 60’s era, Savinelli Punto Oro 4015 Dublin with a pencil shank and brass stem location appliqué (brass dot).
Dunhill Shell - Canadian & HH Vintage Syrian.
Starting off my morning with a little Sunset Breeze in a small Austrian Meer while I finish up a few projects.
I have to say, I was quite wrong. This morning I gave the #20 another try. It made for a great morning smoke, and it pairs extremely well with coffee. I mixed a small pinch of of my virginia in with it. I can tell it is an acquired taste, but I see myself growing to enjoy it quite a bit. Ut doesnt burn nearly as hit as what I'm used to, which is quite nice. It makes for a very smooth smoke with a bold flavor. I may just be falling in love!
Heading to brunch this morning. Smoking Mac Baren 7 Seas Black in a well worn drugstore mm cob so everyone can tell me how great I smell. 
War Horse Green in a MM Outlaw corncob pipe.
Went on a short lunt this morning .. short because it was only about 20 degrees but beautiful outside! Smoked MacBaren Vanilla Cream out of my Peterson Limerick 01.
Chatham Manor in a Country Gentleman. Black Coffee.
Capstan Blue in a BBB Own Make 694 square-shanked billiard with saddle stem. It's my son's 7th birthday, and I've been reading him LOTR, so this seemed a fitting choice. Frodo's just been captured by the barrow-wight. My son's reaction: "Tom Bombadil is very merry even in great danger."
