I had this great smoke earlier today in my new Giubileo d'Oro. First bowl. NEW pipe. The stem seemed a little squeaky between my teeth. Weird. Like when I clenched it, it would squeak a little. Didn't think too much of it. Turns out the stem has a crack in it on the underside from the bit right through the button, not visible at first. 😭 It's going back.

Had a great day with a Thanksgiving dinner that can't be beat. I did my best to eat plenty of food! Right now, I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2013 Esoterica Tilbury in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Dan Tobacco hamborger Veermaster in a Bay Denmark Apple with cumberland stem.

I never thought I would dedicate a pipe, but I’m finally doing it. This is going to be for VA/VAper blends only.

This is only the second bowl I’ve smoked in it, I can’t believe for such a tiny pipe how cool it smokes. My smallest and lightest pipe too, only 17 grams.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! ❤️

Be well everyone! ❤️

Here’s a pic, to give an idea of how tiny, but don’t let the size fool you, Mike is an amazing talent, the workmanship is flawless.

Last smoke of the day is Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a straight brown sandblasted post-WWII family era Sasieni “Canadian” London Made with a sterling silver band with a tapered black vulcanite twin bore stem. Reading while this bowl lasts.

Just noticed that I didn't post the smoke before the last one: Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked.

I am from India, so my Thanksgiving lunch would look different from others. Also, we don’t cook much at home anymore.

For Thanksgiving lunch I cooked after a long time (And a recipe which would sound simple but very difficult to get right)

It is a Chicken Cutlet … however the recipe from Kolkata India calls for marinating the chicken in Thai Birds Eye Chilli Pepper paste , Fresh Red Onion paste, fresh ginger paste, fresh garlic paste and vinegar before breading and frying. If you get it right, you will get a mild kick from the pepper, and mild nuances from everything else. It’s a very subtle recipe and the chicken comes out very juicy.

I can happily report I got it exactly right, even though I cooked it entirely from memory. My wife commented that it is better than what you get in a restaurant in Kolkata, India and my son was very happy about it well.

Now I am smoking Gawith Hoggarth and Company Dark Flake Aromatic in a Sixten Ivarsson Peewit

I’m going to have to give that recipe a try, it sounds delicious. I eat Indian food more than any other and always cook my own from traditional recipes. I just got some Amchur (sp?) powder for the butternut squash and sweet potato curry I’m making for the weekend, I’ll enjoy that with tandoori chicken thighs and naan which I do get from a restaurant as it’s not the same if you don’t use a tandoor.
