I’m a huge fan of Peaky Blinders. I started to unbox my limited edition 1/6 scale action figures to take some pics to share, but abandoned that as it was a little too much trouble with all the protective plastic wrap, etc., in the packages, so I’m just sharing existing product shots by the sadly, now-defunct UK toy manufacturer, Big Chief Studios instead. But, I did snap some shots of the signed plates (by both actors, Cillian Murphy and Paul Anderson) from my numbered pair of Signature Editions before putting everything back.

Still smoking the same pipe as earlier—I had a couple of extra bowls of Penzance while Susan and I watched a couple of documentaries on Netflix.

It was a brilliant show, I’m surprised it took me so long to watch it actually. Fortunately my ADD means I can watch it again pretty soon and it’ll be almost like the first time.
I love the autographed plates

@Tate Good to see you enjoying your new clay. Be careful not to break it
The Gawith Kendal Mix soon burns down to ash

That Kendal Mix was pretty old Dan you might want to rehydrate it a bit

Davidoff Flake Medallion at the Owl Shop in New Haven. Didn't much like it at first but a few months in the jar mellowed it nicely

I was inspired by @FoggyMorning post earlier.

Smoking some Koiki in my Kiseru pipe. It is a slightly sweet Virginia with a simple and rich grassy/haylike taste. The tobacco cut is as fine as a piece of hair. It took about 4 puffs to finish the small bowl, and was delicious. View attachment 279744View attachment 279745View attachment 279746View attachment 279747

Is that available in the US? I’ve never seen it for sale in the UK or Europe.

Finishing off some GH Dark Shag in a Astley’s and preparing some Krampus (part 23 Cringle and part C&D’s The Beast) to smoke in a Kaywoodie Centennial.

As far as I know, kizami tobacco is only available for sale in Japan.

Escudo in a Peterson Deluxe Classic PSB (107).

Great looking Pete- love the blasted grain and finish.

Just got home from the in-laws where I cooked 4 racks of ribs and steaks. I’m now sitting down with a much deserved pipe of Sun Bear in my tulip with glass of bourbon. View attachment 279683

Were I to dedicate a pipe to Sun Bear, it would be that one.

Thank you

2015 Salty Dogs in a blasted Bruce Weaver dublin with a cumberland stem and hippopotamus tooth shank accent. One of a few pipes that Bruce gifted me when he retired, I really miss him.

 

[HeavyLeadBelly]

Having Bayou Morning in a Rattrays Good Deal Dublin this morning. Glad I don’t have to shovel today.

 

[Ben.R.C]

Exclusive in a big fat long shanked Eltang Dublin snail a couple of days early.

@Birddog66 Many thanks! The Sealed Knot say I don't want a baccy that burns like gunpowder!

 

[Cloozoe]

Bit brisk here in the smoking room, but enjoying more Anthology nonetheless

Kendal Dark plug in the tiny Kaywoodie Drinkless. It’s just below freezing outside and not much better indoors to be honest, my old appartment seems to absorb the cold and dish it out like those blue things you put in your cooler.
