About a third of a bowl left of year 2019 C&D Derringer in a late 1890s, early 1900s straight smooth brown unbranded billiard with an A&D silver cap and ferrule with a tapered amber stem and orific bit. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Smoking now some more of Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia plug in a no-name, olivewood, basket pipe, while typing on the PC some handwritten text from the notebook, which I don't know if I should dare to call a "short story", but there... I did it.
Still having the holidays decoration. One more day and then I will put it out wishing to -myself and- all good people out there to place it again, in good health and warm heart, next year!

Totally fumbled my last post… moving onward:
Aberrant in this Nørding.

St. Bruno in an Alden today.
Chacom Grand Cru. I forget the pipe maker. 
Watch City Ernie-ental in a 2017 UPC Pipe.
Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight black with burgundy undertone sandblasted early 1960s Lane era Charatan 420 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Had a fun chat with my friend Pete, who owns over 2,000 pipes.
Mike Bay, sweet pickaxe!
Gonna break in this itty bitty unsmoked Jeantet opera with some Esoterica Peacehaven.
Mid 60s Dobies Four Square Curlies in the Yeti Dublin. Pairing with some Glenfiddich 12.
I didn’t know that had Prelip in it. Guess I’m gonna have to see about ordering me a satchel. WCC blends always are at least very good, more often great in my experience.
Interesting leaf motif on your piece there…
Ye Olde Signe in the '66 Dunhill Shell, and decaf. It's windy and cold out, and forecast to get more so.
Can hardly believe it is Friday again, already!

Now smoking year 2022 unreleased Sutliff Brown Virginia Flake in a 1920s medium bend smooth dark brown BBB Umbra bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem with an orific bit.
Thanks. I think it is sweet too. I can’t say Mike Bay rings any bells; it is probably somebody else. I should look through my email receipts. It is funny, I often forget the maker of my more artisanal pipes. It’s bad really, like not knowing who painted the painting on your living room wall. The Savinelli’s, Nordings and Pete’s and whatnot I always can remember, and then these smaller outfits that could probably benefit more from the recognition don’t get mentioned.
I wish I had a custom resting thing for it so I can set it down yet keep it upright. I should find the maker and commission that…
edit: Outlook Search “pickaxe” = Mike Sebastian Bay. I stand corrected.
