Haunted bookshop in my Stanwell tonight with a Shorts IPA. 
Half way through this bowl of first release Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
My first smoke in the Alden bulldog was wonderful! My birthday was at the end of November.I started out last night with 2021 Brighton in my Dr. Grabow: Commodore 65 Zulu, dated from 1967-1969, vulcanite stem, metal screw-in tenon, no stinger, but only got 1/4 of the way through, then I let it sit overnight.
So, finishing it up today, it’s really nice, having sat over night, became lighter and sweeter.

@JimInks I’m not sure I remember when was your birthday? I really love John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia, hope you enjoy it too, especially in that nice pipe!
@BlueRidge I enjoyed the Old Dark Fired in my clay pipes.
Currently smoking Cornell & Diehl Bright Virginia in a clay pipe.
Saving the Yorktown & Bradyville for re-enactment smoking.
Don't want to smoke all my baccy and have none left for the Sealed Knot & Lace Wars / Redcoats & Revolutionaries events; it wouldn't do to run out of supplies
@sablebrush52 would know. Ask him.
Some 6 year old G&H Sweet Coconut Twist with about 20% Cringle Flake mixed in for fun. Pipe is an unfinished Sav 320.
Dipping into a home blend that I haven't tried in quite some time. And wow! Truly a fantastic smoke. Glad I made half a pound, and hopefully I can replicate another couple pounds. Smoking from a no name dublin. 
This tin of Seattle Pipe Club's Potlatch just arrived today, tried it out in a Mastro de Paja E23, not too bad straight out of the tin, looking forward to trying it again in a few weeks.
Went over to the barn this afternoon to check on the horse, and do a little work on his pen in preparation for the big storm (yes, another one). Peterson Sherlock Holmes in my MM Country Gentleman. This was the first non-aromatic I ever tried and, unsurprisingly for a VA, has aged very nicely over the past 2+ years. I would imagine all my VAs will only get tastier as the age accrues.
Bird report: Brewer's blackbird, California quail, Pinyon jay, Common raven, and various sparrows. Much different birds just a few miles away from my house.
Getting ready to prepare a batch of minestrone soup (recipe here), a perfect meal for a rainy night in the mountains. Stay warm and dry everyone!

Tonight I’m smoking Nightcap in an exquisite late ‘20s Kaywoodie. 
Post work pre-dinner bowl of KBV Butterfluff in a Bullfrog Gumnut. 
Continuing my bulk explorations with Stokkebye nougat no. 24 in the little clay.
It is raining here in LA County. So that is like if it was hailing, flooding, and burning, all during a hurricane on the Thanksgiving travel weekend anywhere else...
Wessex Brigade Series Classic Virginia Natural Flake in a Castello “Castello” 55.
Billy Budd Blonde in a Peterson system spigpt 302. Gentleman Jack as the drink once again.
Peretti St. James Mixture in an Orlik Perfect billiard.
