Went from in the 20s a few days ago to 75 today. Smoking McClelland fragrant mature cake in my @Corey562 churchwarden. Drinking a glass of Blanton’s Single Barrel 2021.
@PappyJoe; I don't have a pipe club nearby, as far as that goes, I don't know know of any pipe smokers in the area. You are fortunate, it is a burden to carry our hobby banner alone.
Doing some Chacom St. Claude in a restemmed old Knute freehand. This blend gives a very pleasant smoke. Mostly based with red Virginias and a HINT of Cavendish, it has just a slight amount of chocolate and vanilla toppings, with no wetness or goo... 2/3 through the bowl, and I'm beginning to detect the beginning of a nic hit... not overpowering though. To all my TPL friends, have a safe and Happy New Year!
its one of those exceedingly rare quiet moments at the house right now, so I am about to load up a refurbished Chacom Puma with some Figgy Pudding. Happy New Year everyone.
Having a new furnace and A/C installed Thursday and I have to move a lot of storage stuff out of their way. May not be able to light a bowl, although I needs it, just to get over the 10K price tag.
-2° here a week ago Thursday. Today it's 66° and all sun! Took advantage before the rains come in by raking all the leaves. Now enjoying some Lane RLP-6 in a Sultan meer, while enjoying the warm sun. Almost forgot how much I enjoy this blend...
Just watched Taysom Hill defeat the eagles (with an assist from Marcus Lattimore). Now enjoying a bowl Poul Winslow No.1 in one of my Rinaldo’s. Drinking a Yeungling Hershey Porter. And, making some smoke.
@mfresa; This year we will have lived in this house for 50 years. This is the second time we have replaced the furnace. There ain't enough bowls to offset it all.
@Londy3, yes I probably should have warned you, I like pipes that sit in the hand as opposed to hanging from one's jaw. I forget where I saw the idea for the gold, but thought it made the pipe look cool. Hopefully the thick walls won't get too hot while you are smoking.

Christmas Spice in my reworked Paronelli...
At my house, Christmas isn't over until me Bride says so.

Nice grain brother...

Since you added some gold, how about "Nugget"?
Love the grain! It's a big pipe, the biggest I own. Feels good in the palm of my hand though. I do like goldenized cracks too 😁
