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

[JimInks]

A third of a bowl left of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed all the cats except for Daisy the Feral Princess who just came inside. I'll give her some wet food after I post this smoke. Tomato the Brave ate plenty and then wanted out. Harry the Hairy is snoozin' in the corner of the den. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Half way through GL Pease JackKnife Plug (2013) sliced thin and rubbed out in a Winslow Crown (“Groot”) Freehand wrapping up a fourth Americano. “I am Groot.” = “Beautiful day!”

Hear, Hear....... Kudos to you, Paul. Lead us into the Fall trends by building the first fire.
I have been "Jonesin'" for a while to get weather cool enough to build one here.

Ehhhh, yeah looking at your forecast it looks like you’ll be good for 3-8:00am though
Tonight is good up here then the next chance is Thursday.
Typical Virginia where if you don’t like the weather wait 15 mins
Or 3 of 4 Seasons in a day expected!

Excellent blend and pipe

Going to burn a pipe a little later on, right now I’m lighting up a Montecristo White Series Robusto

Did a set of walking reps on this beautiful day, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem.

All of you are familiar with today's first smoke. Maybe you have a childhood memory of a grandfather or father smoking it.
Today I am firing up some Prince Albert in my Stanwells billiard.

For me, living in Sweden, this blend is almost impossible to get. I saw a lot about this blend on YouTube, messageboards and well all social media pipe smoking.

So what do I think about it?

I really like it, it's mild, soft, and burns excellently, and has a nice nutty, earthy, and chocolate taste.
If this were available in my country, for the same price as in the USA, it would be my daily smoke.

Yeah, we should count our blessings here in the US. We like to complain about the tobacco situation but we can still get a few reasonable priced codger blends. I over looked Prince Albert and the like for decades but now I'm a daily smoker of them and really enjoying PA. I'd say your taste description is spot on,IMO. Smoking Carter Hall+P right now.

I am grateful for a GREAT morning on the bicycle! 30 miles of smiles! Typically a two hour ride. Today it took me about two and a half. I’ll take it! I will do same tomorrow morning. Monday or Tuesday, I will ride my age, 67 miles. Oh yeah. Pee Dee in this Pre-Republic Shamrock. Diet Dr. Pepper. From Rock & Roll to a rocking chair in my little yard. Then watering and weeding. Later, friends place over in Sweet Bay for a concert on the green. My life is amazing! Thank you Lord!

In Florida, it’s anything below 70!

 

[spearheadbill]

Giving this Danish concoction a go and it’s delicious. I seem to always like things that say Danish on the tin. But calling this a flake is quite a stretch. Everyone knows C&D doesn’t make real flakes. Peterson XL339

 

[HeavyLeadBelly]

Having Sun Bear Tupelo Honey in a cob with water. Quitting time cant get here fast enough.

 

[Benedict Munsinger]

The tobacco was ordered in August of this year,so not aged at all.

The tins currently on sale have a new design. I used to smoke the old Redwood — it was an excellent tobacco. Just wondering, has the fresh one changed in taste?

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, am close to finishing this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star 50th, neat, is my drink. As soon as I finished lunch, Harry the Hairy jumped on my lap for a snooze and did the most purring that I ever heard from him. I hated to move him, but I needed more coffee.
