Feeling religious today with some Presbyterian Mixture in my old Savinelli.

Cowboy Coffee from the Country Squire, in my new Missouri Meerschaum General.

I'm always tempted to change to look of my Cattleman, but like any good relationship, I love it the way it is.

Cornell & Diehl Crooner in my Missouri Meerschaum Bing Pipe for the end of a good day. That deertongue is a very pleasant addition.

Akubra Cattleman keeping the top of my head warm, fishing 20 degrees F in the snow. Bloody cold.
