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

    Nothing new on the rotation — still working my way through a tin of RMC Heritage Black Flake, and I’m not opening anything else until this one is done. First time ever with this blend, and honestly, it keeps surprising me. Different pipes bring out different nuances every time — dark fruit here...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    (description taken from another forum thread) RMC Black Flake is often mentioned as a respectful nod to the old Dunhill Dark Flake, first released back in 1970. Like its prototype, this is a dark Virginia flake with a touch of Perique, designed for slow, cool smoking and a steady, unhurried...

    Haha, Jazz, you’re definitely pushing it 😄 James Bond? Not a chance — I’m just a biologist, far from MI6. But I’ll take it as a compliment anyway. Cheers! 🥂

    Merry Christmas, my dear pipe-smoking colleagues and fellow pipemen. First of all, I wish you good health and family well-being — with health and a strong family, everything else will follow sooner or later. I’m truly glad that over the past year I’ve gained new friends and kindred spirits...

    Mario Pascucci -P Rust-2127 (silver ring). Since it’s Sunday, I decided to smoke some C&D Sunday Picnic. A friend treated me to this little delicacy. On the crab’s claws you can see attached barnacles (family Balanidae) — these are not polyps and not parasites, but typical epibionts. In the...

    Luciano Virgin Sandblast Chubby Dublin (GL Pease/Di Piazza Design 2014). Opened a tin of my favorite RMC Heritage Oxford Street — if you close your eyes and take a sniff, it genuinely feels like a basket full of prunes. December outside the window — quiet, cold, and unhurried. The kind of...

    RMC Barking Road + Mario Pascucci -P Rust-2127 (silver ring) Watching an interview with Mario Pascucci (with English subtitles). He's a master of his craft, quite modest and not vain. It's clear he loves his work. And I simply enjoy his creation.

    Владимир Гречухин - Russia's premier pipe maker (an unofficial title, but long undisputed and uncontested). Vladimir Grechukhin has been heard of more often recently in connection with the St. Petersburg Pipe Club, of which he is an honorary member. Whenever the conversation turned to his pipes...
