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

[Hillcrest]

Second bowl of PS LTF n the Sav 2614KS with new 6mm filter. The stuffed peppers came out great ! No one talked through dinner as too busy eating ! (That's always my personal standard when cooking!) I'm very pleased because this is only the second time making them and I cut the prep time by 2/3rds.

Carol, please send us a bucketful if you can spare it..............

Someone may have sent you a tin of Grousemoor, but a bucket full is a bit much to ask

Good looking Bing. I need one. It’s on my short list. A Marxman caught my eye the other day and should be here by Saturday…..next time maybe.

GH Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Peterson Aran 69 more or less dedicated to the blend. Took a few days off smoking due to a respiratory virus, finally feeling better today.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, 1.80 pound porterhouse steak and Mediterranean rice dinner with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. I'm just finishing this bowl of year 2010 Mac Baren Burley London Blend in a 2001 black sandblasted three quarter bend Rinaldo Lithos YY bulldog with a tortoise shell acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. It's too humid for coffee. Watching the Yankees-Astros game. Tomato the Brave was on my lap for a few minutes, and then he jumped down and is laying by my feet. The others are outside since the rain stopped.

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Dublin Sterling Canadian 264 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

Earlier had a cob bowl of that 2016 Triple Play, this time in a cube cut. I may have cut the cubes a bit coarse this time, but after some initial moodiness it got lit and finished very nicely.

Chapman Eclipse Noir Gold
Chapman is a brand owned by Joh. Wilh. von Eicken GmbH, a German company founded back in 1770 in Lübeck. They are well-known for producing high-quality tobacco products, from pipe tobacco to cigars and cigarettes.
The Eclipse Noir Gold line is a premium cigarette blend of carefully selected tobaccos, enriched with rare Caribbean cigar leaf, which gives it a deeper, more refined flavor compared to classic blends. King Size format, smooth strength, no heavy flavorings closer to a cigar-like profile.
Personally, I really enjoy them — balanced, elegant, and different from the mainstream brands.

Thanks for the introduction, I used to love those dark, strong Nat Sherman’s cigarettes. Can’t remember the name of them now, but they were dark, and they smoked somewhat how you are describing this cigarette as smoking. I will have to see about trying one of these Eclipse Noir offerings!

Breaking in my new Peterson Seconds 411 with sterling ferrule. The son of my lifelong best friend who passed away last year was visiting Dublin and sent me this pipe. Filled with Three Friars for the break in.
A lovely gesture from a dear boy!View attachment 415197

Looking good Ross, I hope you’re doing well.
Btw, it took a minute but I think you’ve got me hooked on Derringer (minus the Coniston)

 

[Sobrbiker]

Starting to chase down where the old Kubota is sucking air in the fuel lines (won’t restart if shut down hot) with Peterson 3P’s in the NoName Dane.

And this evening’s sunset, it was just too good not to share.

Passing the half way mark of this bowl of Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

In the garage thinking things over. Keeping me company is a bowl of GH&Co Dark Bird's Eye Vintage Cut loaded in my Savinelli Roma billiard paired with a Guinness.

I hope you all had a great day.
