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

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty Snap Dragon apple, and am smoking the last of this tin of year 2013 Capstan Gold Flake in a straight black 1932 Dunhill R double patent shell pot with a vernon tenon and a tapered black vulcanite stem. I hope to end the day with this smoke. Going to enjoy quiet reading time as much as the cats let me.

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. Fed everybody without incident. I'll end the day with this smoke.

@newbroom , I was curious about the blend, but only found HU Dark Moor, and McClelland Dark Star. Is it one of those, or is it HU Dark Star?
Thx!

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.

My astonishment emoji was for that confection you've been drinking. I was introduced, many years ago, to the notion of adding half a pint of milk to a half pint of Mackeson's stout. The idea struck me as revolting at first, but I found it quite a pleasant sort of mildly alcoholic, malty cafe-au-lait-looking breakfast beverage. But the addition of peppermint seems to me a step too far: doesn't it fight against the malt flavour? I'd want to add a little dried peppermint to a mild Viginia/Burley for a paired smoke, I think. Interesting...

Picked up my first Meer as a Birthday gift to myself. Smoking some Plum Pudding. Not sure if I’m lacking it well, or it’s the Meer, but it’s tasting better than my briars

Easing into Thursday with a bowl of Rattrays Brown Clunee in a Rob Roy cob and a cup of hot, black, coffee. Im feeling the effects of shoveling today. What a young mans game…
