I am enjoying how this thread took off during the course of my workday. While she is what she is in her own right, she doesn't **** with me about spending money on things. She loves to spend it more than I do. While on a trip to San Diego, recently, we were visiting Racine and Laramie when she asked if I intended on having a cigar that night. I replied with a no and that I didn't have a cutter or lighter. She bought me my v-cutter right then and there. Winning.
It's in great shape for a '26, probably better shape than you're in Steve.
As I posted yesterday I got myself a circa 1923 Jadeite glass ashtray to match my Jadeite coffee cups. It's a darker shade of green in real life, it has some sharp edges, and doesn't fit the larger pipes I own but so far I like it.

From Just For Him. One tin of Sam's Flake had lost it's vacuum and dry, all tins needed a wipe down due to staining from smoke. Shipping was fast and most of the tins have a couple years already. All in all I'm quite satisfied with the purchase. 👍
I have been waiting to get a chance to get to this place and after talking with @jsnake, I needed a quick fix. Thank you @Brokegunner for pointing it out and thank you to Phil at Cigar Monkey for the treasures. Today's score:
Nothing newer than 2022.
By the way Brian, the burger was Pretty Good, too.
Found a B&M near the train station in Sacramento while waiting to pick up family. Picked up a 2023 Jekyll and Hyde and 2023 Christmas. Some stuffers to go with them, also. Still remembered to pick up the family, win!
Completely flabbergasted by @jsnake. This is awesome, thank you! My wife says to thank you for the Sleepy Hollow sampler, I thank you for all. I am spoiled for choice, but really looking forward to a taste of that Mardi Gras plug. This is great! 🍻
I've been wanting another system pipe, also a larger pipe, this came up on SP with a free tobacco I'd never heard of from C&D, all at a good price. At least, that's how I'm rationalizing it. I was a little afraid that the tobacco would taste like Skoal, but fortunately not.

Thanks. I considered the P-lip stem, but the descriptions talk about "resting on the tongue" being the right way to use it, that just doesn't sound right to me. I've learned to really love my other System pipe, I think this one will be a welcome addition.

Figured I should put this here, too. Atalaya smells good, I'll try some in the morning.

Rites of Passage today for all of our new Chiefs. Long day and came home to a nice surprise! Thank you very much, Steve! @Stubble This really puts a welcome shine on today. Some blends in here I have read about but never tried, such as Dark Flake Aro (I've read it is better than the non-aro DF), Coniston Cut Plug, and just about everything KBV. Also, TY for sharing the 09 Rum Flake, Edward. @silvermouse Rum Flake was one of my first real pipe tobaccos in 2007. Hindsight being 20/20, highly likely the responsible blend for my affinity toward Lakeland tobacco blends. I am looking forward to shutting down my brain and enjoying a bowl this evening, but which one?

Picked up a birth year Dunhill.
The holy Grail! Congratulations, doesn't hurt that it is a beauty.
That's a real beauty, Steve.
Thanks fellas!
A ‘26…damn I bet that was tough to track down. Congratulations!

Found an advertisement for the ashtray

Wow, impressive @jsnake.
After some research, I found that this is King Cake from C&D. Delicious.
