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

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking a bowl from a freshly opened eight ounce tin of year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy medium bend 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Smokes as well as a first and worth the $19.95 I paid for it all those years ago. Watching an episode of The Adventures of Superman on Me-TV.

Sun Bear in a Cinar this afternoon while walking the warmer, dryer Seattle streets. Must be a storm coming in the next day or two.

Had a few smokes (C&D Derringer) today in the resurrected Ropp J07 working around the property.

This evening was spent feasting and doing a white elephant with 60 or so ex-drunks, some that I’ve known for 30yrs, some that I just met.
A few had cigars, and I had a couple smokes of GH&Co Brown/Black Twist in my Roush XXX pot as it was a fitting occasion.
Grateful every day!

Now smoking Watch City Jim’s Golden Ticket in a straight smooth brown mid-late 60s Corporate Era Barling 5579 London England (made by Charatan) lumberman with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. I may end the day with this smoke.

I had a fun meeting with my Saturday afternoon Zoom pipe buddies. As we gabbed about pipes, tobacco and the crazy weather, I smoked some 2017 McClelland Christmas Cheer in my GBD Prehistoric 508 with a Perspex stem. My warming beverage was a steaming mug of Columbian Select coffee with a splash of Old No. 7. Truly a well spent afternoon.

Did a little low calorie snacking, and have a quarter of a bowl left of Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Special Reserve in a black pebble finish straight 2003 Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano lovat with a black acrylic saddle stem. Been feeding the ferals.

Near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2020 H&H Chatham Manor in a straight smooth 2023 Peterson Red Killarney 53 lovat with metal accents around the shank and a black acrylic p-lip saddle stem. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is on m'lady's chair. Daisy the Feral Princess is lying by my feet.

Near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2016 Hearth & Home AJ’s Vaper in a pre-1952 Sutliff Falcon 372 (made by Comoy’s) smooth light brown straight bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This'll do it for me today. Sleepy Suzy wanted to eat and when she went to the kitchen, Molly Danger decided that was a good idea so I gave them some wet food. Tomato the Brave wanted back in, ate, and is bunny kicking a sock right now. Daisy the Feral Princess is still lying by my feet. Dunno where Harry the Hairy is.

I cannot now imagine a world in which I will ever catch up on all of the pages and pages of WAYS, however I will do my best, and I have sorely missed this fine thread during the traveling and the overtime that have kept me away. We’re almost over the finish line, folks. Lately I have been stuffing nubs into this cob, and I have also been enjoying some 2012 McCranie’s red flakeView attachment 437885

That's an interesting mix of beeves you have there, @Goblin_Walrus - do I see a Belgian Blue, a couple of Redpolls, two Holsteins and some Dexters?

SB, the support y'all give one another is just phenomenal. Really something to behold.
