Aromatic morning smoke. Tiny bowl longstem, dedicated to Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish, an aro tobacco with some balls. Enjoy it once a week or so in the AM. This little fella takes a miniscule amount of tobacco, and gives me 15 minutes or so of a good smoke, which sometimes is all I want in the early hours.. Enjoyed it so much I let the pipe cool down and did a repeat. Tobacco is great with cold coffee.

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Smoking Billy Budd for the first time. This is pretty strong!
Skiff, one the greatest Oriental forward blends. This is the bottom of the jar and it is saturated with Latakia pieces.
Billy Budd is a favorite of mine. I’ve really been hitting it hard lately. Smokingpipes has a sale of C&D. Thinking about order 1/2 lb., maybe more before the sale ends.

Watch City's 4-Q in a Missouri Meerschaum Legend cob, and then Captain Black Original in the same cob. A good opportunity to compare the two blends back to back. Similar blends but no clear favorite for me, I enjoyed them both.
The last bowl of this tin of The Haunting Cake in the Swamp Thing. Fortunately, this is not my last tin.
@Carol Here in sunny downtown New Jersey its unseasonably warm at 68* and we are in "extreme drought conditions". Would love some rain or your snow to slowly saturate the ground which I hope we get this winter. Shovel gently and don't injure your back.
Added a bit to yesterday's unfinished bowl and reversed the picture so as not to be boring. 
Yikes, I don't even want to tell you what the weather has been like up here in the Northeast... Only snow anywhere nearby seems to be in the White Mountains. Stay safe, warm, and dry!

Erik Stokkebye Resolution in a Radice rind billiard
First smoke in 48 hours... Welsh lessons 'til lunchtime, Christmas shopping thereafter. Walking home from town, the early dusk gathering in a blue-grey mist with shadows, the gloom of late autumn relieved by the yellows of lamplit windows, firesides and tenacious leaves... and the crunch of their fallen fellows underfoot; the scent of woodsmoke in the crisp air... and it's beginning to feel a lot like Som Besths. Anyway, this evening I have been entertained by my beat-up little Rhodesian Meer I ought to find a name for, with the goddess Peterson's Irish Flake, her kisses deep and golden-warm, lingering long upon the thirsting tongue...don't mind my burblings, I'm probably nicotine-stoned, is all...
