Merry Christmas to you and yours! A wonderful day here. The wife got me ( with a little coaching from yours truly) an unsmoked Peterson Sherlock Holmes sandblasted Squire 2021 Christmas pipe. GLP Westminster will be the maiden voyage. A glass of Chardonnay is at my side. Cheers!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, haddock, snow peas, pot roast dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the first third of this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a sandblasted medium bend 1950s Reuben era Charatan Deluxe 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2010 Amphora Original (Brown) in a full bend barley sandblast Peterson 125th Anniversary 1898-2023 No. 172/330 302 brandy military mount with a silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip saddle stem. Fed all the ferals although Tomato the Brave only ate dry food. He usually gets wet food around this time, but he's gotten very finicky lately, and mostly turns down wet food, including the kind he was always happy to eat. Oh well...

Listing this a few minutes early: several years old Dunhill Elizabethan in a straight smooth, dark brown patent era 1952 Dunhill Bruyere ODA apple 806 B124 with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Getting ready to watch the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Tomato the Brave is snoozin' at my feet. Sleepy Suzy is by my side.

Did a little snacking, and am near the last quarter of this bowl of 1990s Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a medium bend dark brown 2017 Don Warren 17 smooth straight grain rough top Dublin with a multi-brown cumberland stem and ferrule in the military mount style.

A quarter of the way through 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. Fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. Fed all the ferals except for the fashionably tardy Abner the Eager. I know I'll see him soon, though.

The missus gave me a pipe for Christmas: a post-transition Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root Dark 6 Diplomat with acrylic saddle stem. I had picked it out at Blue Room Briars. I'm smoking CS Choctaw and drinking a cappuccino.

Wonderful pipe, E.
 
Wonderful pipe, E.
Thanks! It's lovely to look at, and this first smoke is great. It seems that the post-transition Sasieni's are not rated as highly as the pre-transition pipes. I have no basis for comparing, but I think this is a fine pipe. I don't see new Sasienis for sale, so I suppose they didn't survive the transition.
 
Never did have that pipe yesterday that I spoke of in my last post. But it was cold and rainy all day yesterday and it was and it was a perfect day to sit inside, eat, and drink.

I'm sitting outside having some Plum Pudding in a Peterson 303 Sandblast. About near to perfection, even after stopping for a while to chat with a friend and having to relight.

Right now it's about 50°, no wind. Wonderful weather to contemplate God's rich blessings and watch the dogs murder each other for fun.
