Close to finishing this bowl of D&R Penhooker in a straight smooth light brown circa post-1932-40s Linkman’s Dr. Grabow billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Working and listening to Gangbusters on the XM.

Half way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Warped Scarecrow in a 1931-1967 BBB Wyteway Billiard with a vulcanite stem.
A thought being the 1st weekend of the new year, time for something a little festive to smoke.
Be well everyone!

Going to have Cornell & Diehl/Warped: Saint Espresso (0462/3000) in a Brebbia 6015J Bent Dublin (now known as the Jumbo Ambra 2715).
Work's done for the day, and I'm smoking year 2012 Carter Hall in a 1929-1931 KBB Kaywoodie Drinkless 7782 straight smooth walnut bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to work on cleaning the three estate pipes.
Good morning all. Now all the chores are done time to sit down and relax with a bowl of Germains Brown Flake. Huge-mongous mug of coffee to pair. I'm not getting up for anyone. Happy smokes folks. 
Going to have Cornell & Diehl Palmetto Balkan Small Batch (1879/3000) in a Neerup Structure Smooth Pot.
Now I’ve been to - what I thought- the place to go for tobacco in Cape Town. Cock ‘n Bulls at the Waterfront.
At least they sell a whole range of pipes. Found a lot of vaping things over there, cigarettes, cigars, a few pipe tobaccos.
They sell the Wesley Housebrands, that looked all the same in those transparent pouches. Shag-like tobaccos in medium to dark reddish brown hues. They look a lot like any of the tasteless Fox, Jock and BBs, I tried. Maybe if someone is out there with alternating views might correct me.
And the whole range of Borkum Riff was there. Anyone out there who likes Borkum Riff?
I asked for different stuff, and the tobacconist showed me the small range of quite expensive Davidoff tins.
I bought one: Scottish Mixture. And although there is splash of whiskey to it, I enjoy smoking it. Just mild enough for a morning or every day smoke.
No tongue bite either although smoked like a puff train, yesterday evening, in between two live sets of the Kesivan Naidoo Quartett in the Blue Room.
Kesivan is an awesome capetonian drummer in contemporary-jazz. He is living in Switzerland nowadays. He is just visiting his family for Christmas with his wife Julia and is doing a lot of gigs with old friends. Check him out.
Now having a morning smoke with Scottish Mixture in a cob.

Rattray's - Old Gowrie in a HCA Stanwell and a Cup of Lapsang Souchong Tea.
I have a davidoff Scottish tin waiting for me.
Its really good. We originally developed the recipe to use leftover turkey after the holidays. Uses a white sauce and lots of green chile!
It’s a touch too cold for nice briars and meers, so I went with this Dagnar Missouri Meerschaum filled with WCC “None of your business”
