What are you smoking?

Sutliff maple street in a freehand meer.

Sutliff PS Breckinridge in my old reliable 1986 smooth Peterson Kildare 999 Rhodesian.

Found a half-dry bit of C&D Pirate Kake. Why the eff not?

Amphora Red Match in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.95) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega.

Bakerstreet in a Jobey ivory prince

First try on some lane rlp-6 in a fresh MM legend. It started as a compromise for Xmas, not too shabby though.

...up next...McC Christmas Cheer 1998...

Rum Flake in a Gouda clay, a very 'Christmasy' combo

Just finished smoking Brunello Flake in a much cherished smooth straight grain three quarter bend 1979 Becker M 4 heart banker. Next is 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.

Moments away from smoking Capstan Blue in a straight sandblasted black billiard 2013 PSF POY Kaywoodie with an amber colored lucite stem.

Rum Flake in a falcon (billiard)

Having some afternoon ketchup/sweet, McC's 5100 RC in my new Savinelli Silver 115 KS Pot.

Christmas Day. Went for a little stroll around the Welsh hills in Snowdonia accompanied by a bowl of an aro cased in red wine and a bowl of MacB's Vanilla Crème Flake. Eventually caught up with my children who were busy climbing a tree and scrambling up the nearest slab of rock. Only one thing to do at a moment like that... kick back, sup a little more and watch them enjoy the great outdoors. Splendid.

Sounds a jolly nice time David. Did you take any pics you can share? I love that area and recall some good times walking there with a couple mates.

Had some '10 McC Xmas Cheer this afternoon in my Ser Jacopo Per Aspera Poker. What a nice way to spend an hr or so.

Got some of my favourite VaPer prepped for after supper - aged 2015 w/15% added Perique which will burn in my Sav Punto Oro 320 Author.

Good pipe day!




Cheers,
