Earlier, I smoked a bowl 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.

Then, I smoked a bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.

Currently, I've passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy medium bend 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Smokes as well as a first and worth the $19.95 I paid for it all those years ago. Been busy talking to David Cuneo's (Dmcmtk) sister about his passing among other things related to David.

Got down to 15 last night, so my morning chores were done bundled up like an Eskimo. I chose this moment to try Ashton Artisan's Blend for the first time, in a Savinelli Bacco 321 rusticated author. Astounding blend, a positively capital smoke. I see this entering the regular rotation, joining about 75 other blends. 9.5/10

Bird report: White-crowned sparrow, California towhee, Dark-eyed junco, Band-tailed pigeon, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, Northern flicker, American crow, Spotted towhee, Hairy woodpecker, Western bluebird, Mountain chickadee, White-breasted nuthatch, American robin, and Oak titmouse.
