Prince Albert in a Peterson Dracula 80s. I'm warming up to the DR version but don't like it as well as the previous manufacture.

Woke up to a real blizzard this morning. First of the year. Late posting my morning smoke. Nobody's going anywhere today. Could hardly see out the window, and got about a foot of snow, not quite cold enough to drift though. Still going at it this early afternoon. My dog wouldn't go down the steps . . . . peed on the first one. 
Waiting for an Amazon delivery that probably won't come. If it does, driver won't be impressed at the yellow snow. Some needed pipe cleaners in the order, too.
So I drowned my sorrows in style - my little dedicated Ropp J05 loaded with Black Frigate. A half hour of solace before taking this snap with my crippled truck in the background. (Can't be fixed. Theft and malicious damage, too expensive and extensive for me to repair. Leaving it thre with the fantasy of baiting the a..hole who stole it last winter by borrowing a leghold trap from a trapping friend of mine to get revenge. Childish but other who've been his victims are rooting me on - like most smaller places we have a good idea of who he is but can't prove it.
All this aside, had a great smoke. Also included a "first buck" trophy shot sent to me by a friend for all you nimrods who've been posting deer photos. Sometimes we need a laugh, eh?

Just finished smoking year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
The last of a tin of 2024 CRF in a Pete PSB X105
Didn't think this deserved it's own thread so posting here.
I've been a huge fan of Stokkebye's bulk flakes; primarily LNF and Evening Flake. Oddly enough, I'm not the biggest fan of the LBF which seems to be their most desired blend. I did enjoy the LTF, but found myself not needing to order more when it was time to replenish my LNF and Evening Flake.
I never assumed it wasn't true. But, the people that said if you don't like a blend let it sit for a while and come back to it were right! I ignored my LTF long enough that one jar ended up with a year of age on it. It is the first "aged" tobacco I've ever tried. Had that satisfying "sssskktt" when I popped the lid.
Boy is it delicious! Farrr better than I remember. Has me wanting to get more of it to cellar!

Now smoking GLP Westminster in a 2014 straight MM Missouri Pride Legend with a black plastic stem. The friend who gave me this sample is doing the same as we phone chat.
GLP Gaslight in a 1920ish F&T all briar devil anse on a beautiful fall evening. 
I have one room that looks a bit like the bottom shot . . . . used to have much more until I gave away books that I'd had for years and never read!
Don't know if you have this problem, but I know a lot of people that do!
Burley Flake #1
I worked hard in the yard today. Susan made chili with roasted corn that was delightful. Think I'll go smoke a Padron at the lounge later

Autumn Evening in Savinelli 310KS. It’s been a very restful Saturday.
Enjoyed a couple of small chocolate eclairs, and have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2008 Astley’s No. 109 Medium Flake in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LBS Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Bayou Morning in a Former small rusticated apple and Deluxe Navy Rolls in a Castello occhio di pernice. 
Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed in a Dunhill 4109 and Ginger Tea on the side.
First, and might be only smoke today….
