Just finished...
2015 Mixture "606" in a 1985 Ser Jacopo R1 (rusticated) Maxima canadian with Pub Blend coffee (light) courtesy of @GWBowman on a dreary and cold day.
This mixture continues to evolve but pretty much as anticipated. This pipe was returned (~1986) because the customer felt that it was burning out but the 'hole' was just a chip in the cake. The stem was chunky and not refined and clearly not made by Massimo Palazzi so on a later trip to Italy I had him reduce the bite and it's an elite smoker.
Now smoking:
2015 Mixture "G" in a 1985 Ser Jacopo Renaissance #313 (sandblast) taper apple with white stem.
Both of these pipes are from 1985, first year of the Coral Dot logo, and when Ser Jacopo was at their peak. This Renaissance has quickly established itself as an uber-elite smoker, incredibly accurate and one of my best, but when it arrived, in 1985, it caused friction with Ser Jacopo because of it's white stem (should have been black) that effectively ended the Renaissance line (though they made a couple more in 1986). My bad.
Was smoking Altadis Edgeworth match in a cob out in the garage, trying to continue working on my pipe cabinet, but it's too cold to stay outside.

Enjoyed a bowl of 2014 Holiday Spirit while sipping on some home made Apple Pie spiced apple cider.
Today is my wife's birthday. I spent the weekend clearing out the back yard and building her a fire pit.
She loves it, and we spent most of the evening out there. We'll be out there again tonight, I'm sure!
