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

[Lux]

Just finished a walk with my wife. Enjoyed local B&M aromatic blend in this Rattray's Ahoy which showed up in the evening's post.

Not a quiet little pipe, but discovered a 9mm filter in it when cleaning. Looking forward to revisiting this one without the filter.

Smoking some Sutliff Cringle Flake '23 in an Altinok poker. The beer on the side is a departure for me. Imperial stout with added peppermint and milk. Its actually tastier than I anticipated, but think it would pair better with an aro.

I’ve said many times that I’m not an aromatic fan, but some of the aromatics I’ve smoked recently are making me question that: Maple Shadows II, Cordial Friends, Figgy Pudding, and now Sillem’s Black have been very pleasant on cold winter evenings.

Wife took the kids to the pool, running a little experiment to see if she can tell what I’ve been up to inside… if I don’t report back, it was nice knowing y’all!

Capstan blue in a Pete, and some Christmas blend I forgot the name of in a clay

I probably would have waited until she was out running errands or something. She might be able to smell it from the bathroom.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and an not far from finishing this bowl of year 2014 Strang in a 2003 smooth light brown medium bend straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin with a black acrylic saddle stem. The in-and-out merry go round antics of Daisy the Feral Princess continues.

Bob, is it possible for a burley to be "too burley" for your morning constitutional???

Maybe. But I have found it yet!

 

[bobpnm]

333 is the Burley to rule all Burleys.

It is great stuff!

Good day, all! L.J. Peretti Tashkent this morning. In homage to Steddy's splendid gnarly Castello poker from Tuesday, I am smoking my much lesser version Castello Old Antiquari poker, which I also think of as gnarly! A pot of Lampsang Souchong on the side. Pretty miserable rainy, windy weather here in Ohio.

Gnarly and elegant, what a combo!

Now smoking 2023 KBV River of Deceit in a 1985 three quarter bend medium brown Ascorti KS Business dublin with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[Scottmi]

Back home and settling down with 2021 Haddo's Delight in a pre-Cadogan Comoy's Sandblast medium billiard. Must be that Christmas magic...I go away for a couple days and 'presto!' tree is decorated!

 

[Sobrbiker]

Devil’s Holiday in my aro cob.
I need to designate an aro briar…

 

[mmmpeace]

Cowboy Flapjacks in my short stop. 50/50 blend of Cowboy Coffee and Picayune Pancake.

 

[rsshreck32]

Now on to Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Peterson Emerald 05.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking 2023 KBV Roman Legion in a 1935 small, straight smooth dark brown Irish Free State K&P (Peterson) billiard with a silverish cap military mount and tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to check on the ferals soon.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

Final bowl of the night was Sun Bear in an M Cinar and a walk in the cool downtown Seattle mist.
