***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***
Puffing on some From Beyond in a Nording partially rusticated Billiard. Good band practice and this might just be my winter blend. Each smoke reveals something different, and I like it. This pinch seems full of that aged Latakia and it's heavenly tasting.- abecox

What Were Your Go-To Tobacco’s in 2025?
My usual mainstays were C&D Pegasus Bayou Morning Haunted Bookshop Big N Burley GLP Cumberland But the stuff that was new and liked was Carolina Red Flake with Perique, Billy Budd, From Beyond, and Bayou Night. Plenty of other stuff but these were the most memorable.- abecox

Chronic wet smoker
I feel your pain I too have similar issues. I'd say balsa filters are a good step but also try packing a bit tighter as someone above said and slow down on the puffing cadence. Then when you think you've slowed down enough slow down some more. You might relight more but once you get the idea...- abecox

***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***
Must have missed the party it smells crazy in here. Happy birthday @JimInks ! My final smoke of November is a revisiting of Sun Bear Navy Cask in my new Rossi Rhodesian. I jarred up my tin over the summer cause I sort of burnt out on it but now it's much more enjoyable and I'm finding more...- abecox

***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***
I had a real cliche of a morning, Early Morning Pipe in a Marksman Billiard with a pot of piping hot coffee. Moving a little slow this morning, might've been the scotch or mightve been how late I stayed up. Whatever, on to the blustery day. Gonna do a little Christmas Shopping in a bit, thank...- abecox

***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***
If you go make sure to bring the entire family and then park your cart halfway across an aisle while ya'll stare up at the cloud formations. I dunno why but theres something about costco that makes me wonder if people just forget how to exist in public. Or maybe its just the one near me. Or...- abecox

Pigged out on some smoked turkey with all the classic sides with the family and then drove home through some pretty but treacherous lake effect snow. Thankful for a lot this year, especially this pipe full of From Beyond in a Savinelli Siena Author. Cheers and stay warm y'all.- abecox

Pipe Night in Akron 11/25
Yeah it was a rousing success I'd say! I also didn't realize it at the time but I was also sitting and chatting with Mike and Tim while enjoying my new tins. It's a shame they only do this once a year.- abecox

***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***
Went to Pipe Night in Akron, it was a lot of fun hanging out with likeminded folks. While there I enjoyed a bowl of C&D Borboun Bleu in a brand new (I can't help it) Rossi Antico Rhodesian, and then a pipe of Warped Until The End in a Savinelli Rusticated Pot. Good smokes and good times all...- abecox

Inveterate pipe smoker, new to this peanut gallery…
I play the upright bass so anytime I wanna even look at a new one I'm seeing a price with a comma in it. Welcome to the forum!- abecox
