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

[HeavyLeadBelly]

Trying Boswells Northwoods for the first time in a Lo Rocca churchwarden. Both were gifts I received in the PMSS and so far so good!

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2001 Murray’s Dunhill Navy Rolls in a 1984 black sandblasted straight Dunhill Shell 4103 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. My first Dunhill. Wish I could tell the story about how I got it. My old college roommate is coming over for a visit. Haven't seen him in a couple of years.

I've only been smoking pipes for about 2-3 months. I've been a long time cigar smoker. This is the first time trying any Esoterica. Esoterica Dorchester 2025 in a Missouri Meerschaum Rob Roy Corn pipe

I NEED a stack meer bowl for my Falcon

You actually and honestly do.
This one is huge and it does really well and especially on a bent stem. If you end up trying one treat yourself to a bent stem for it. You’ll be happy you did.

Penultimate bowl of 2020 Mad Fiddler Flake (opened in Feb 2025), in a Gefapip 2500 Canadian and a mango IPA.

C&D, Interlude: Red Virginia 's with a lite, sweet, honey taste in an Eric Nording Freehand. View attachment 441581

Interlude sounds really nice! Could it be the sleeper blend of 2025?

Paul, that stack meer is an eyecatcher for sure. Why do you favor the bent stem for it vs. the straight?

Very windy as the rain and cold temps blow in later tonight.
Having some HU Edward G. in a MM cob with some coconut water on the side.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of Watch City Mistletoe Jam (Christmas 2022) in a 1979 smooth natural signed Rossi 1886 Hungarian 124 with a dark amber colored acrylic saddle stem.

Currently, I just finished smoking Chris Morgan Jackalope in a straight burgundy sandblasted year 2019 straight Ryan Alden J billiard/pot with a tapered cumberland stem. Gold Star Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy, neat, is my drink.

I know you may not have agreed with Ernie naming that but mistletoe jam will always cause me a chuckle!

It balances out a lot better and makes it feel less top heavy. It works either way but with the bent it feels like the right fit.
