Good morning everyone. Woke up the past couple mornings with a serious frog in the throat, so I'm not real enthused about my morning pipe like normal. I'll be heading out in awhile and I'll have a meer loaded with Old Dominion and I'll sip on it and see how it goes. I may or may not finish it. My order of nasal snuff arrived yesterday from across the pond and that's always nice this time of year, when the cold temps take their toll.
So far so good in ILM, but they are forecasting more ice today than they were last night....
Congratulations buddy! Great accomplishment sir!I managed to pass both tests- walked that cup all the way. Definitely had some nerves, but happy they're done and dusted.
Back home after dinner (fried chicken and a side of egg and cress salad which was a rare treat). Now settling in with a nice brandy to warm me up along with some Semois in a Savinelli Punto Oro Zulu (413KS).

Enjoying a bowl of some homemade VaPer crumble cake a friend made a couple of years ago in a nQa Morta poker by Nathan Davis/ Greywoodie pipes. 17F. Here in the Shenandoah Valley this morning ?
2012 Dunhill Flake in a Jack Howell Dublin.
RB Plug in a Winston.
Not the best of starts to my pipesmoking day, having dropped & broken one of my cherished pipes, a Mountbatten billiard.
Still, a bad start makes for a good finish as they say. With the pipe in bits on the floor, got straight on the blower to my tobacconist & promptly ordered a Peterson de-luxe. Should be here tomorrow (touch wood) & I'll be smoking it after the mornings breakfast of tea & crumpets.

Sorry to hear about the Mountbatten.But, I like that you didn’t miss a beat and ordered yourself a new Pete immediately!

GLP Barbary Coast, a newly opened tin of this cube cut burley based blend with Virginia as a condiment, a dash of perique, and brandy flavoring, thoroughly tobacco forward, first smoke in my brand new Savinelli Pannocchia 606 KS bent billiard. I like the carved rustication of cob-like corn kernels, the thin green band, and the bright yellow (corn theme again) stem. I traded in three pipes I didn't smoke toward store credit with SP for this one. I wanted something lively that was different from most of my pipes. The briar is unfinished so will color with time, a favorite process of mine, and the chamber is uncoated!
Ahh Friday morning, country squire cowboy coffee with coffee, which is the best way to smoke this tobacco, in my Nutten’s pipe. 
An early start this morning. Wessex Burley Slices in a Rossi. Used to like this tobacco but recently it's been quite meh. Will leave it be a while and resume engagement later in the year.
I like Habana Daydream so far. I'm only about 3 bowls in though. I'm a cigar blends newbie having started with Country Lawyer a month or two ago. I liked CL enough to continue the exploration.
I don’t mind wearing winter clothes…. A couple of times a year…. TWICE…. two times… that’s enough.
I snuck my Savinelli out with me also, and didn’t tell you guys. Smoking Germains Uncle Tom.

Currently 19 degrees here in SE PA…stay toasty my friend. ?

Like you I’m pretty new to cigar blends. I first got into them this past summer. I’m looking forward to exploring a new genre.

Good day all! Starting with Savinelli Brunello Flake in a small Savinelli sandblast Autograph Burl Fan while waiting for the rain and cold front to slide into this part of the upper East Florida Coast.
Match Victorian (Elizabethan) in a Savinelli Venere 812.
