***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

[Choatecav]

Well, I always wondered when I’d forget my Bic and leave it on the dash in the truck on a hot day. Kablooey! Bang! Boom! That means it exploded, however there was no damage to speak of.

Really??? I have not heard of a Bic lighter exploding from heat in a vehicle. That is wild............

Beautiful pipe.

Coconut water washes it all down.

Just started up my first encounter with D&R Three Sails. I haven’t had much luck with shag-cut blends in the past but I packed it nice and tight and will see how cool the Vauen Patina can keep it while driving with windows down.

Poor Walt ... thanks to Reggie, not only is his paperwork all over the floor, but so is his pipe. His well-packed tobacco is now scattered also. Hmm ... I can't make out if this is a Savinelli, a Sasieni, an Edwards (???).

Just finished smoking C&D Sun Bear Navy Cask 2025 (Small Batch) in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tapered dark tortoise shell colored acrylic stem. Need to smoke more for the review.

You might want to get a wind cap for that if driving with windows down. Might help not get too hot.

Solani Silver Flake in the Moonshine Long Devil Anse on a very pleasant 79F in-the-shade-with-light-breeze, lethargy-inducing afternoon.

That’s good advice. I always have one when packing a pipe for the car just in case; however, I didn’t end up needing it today. After initially stoking to temperatures comparable to those experienced on spacecraft re-entry, I gave it a brief rest and worked it gently after that to a pretty enjoyable level. Good flavor and well-behaved for the rest of the bowl

Earlier it was some Oriental Silk in a Ropp Squashed Tomato, now I'm smoking some Big N Burley in a Savinelli 102. Steak on the grill and an IPA in a can nearby. Not a bad Wednesday.

It’s been a scorching hot day. 50 miles on the bike this morning. 2 miles with beautiful wife of my life for her after work power walk. Decided to dig deep into the cellar for something different. 2012 (I think) Dunhill EMP in this Northern Briars. Sweet iced tea. Hoping for a whisper of breeze outside tonight.
