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

    Half way in to my first cocktail (one of my own creation I call “Nuts Deluxe”), I’m doing some 5100 in the Radice Clear E pencil shank Canadian with SS tenon and red brindle ebonite. This pipe always makes me feel cheerful. Hope the day is going smooth and enjoyable for everyone!

I’ve had a Vero mini-pry bar/Torx wrench keychain for a while and it’s very useful. I know the Vero knives have been quite popular and lauded for at least...

    ‘16 Gawith Sams Flake in the Kyriazanos prince w/ Argentium silver. Sams flake, I think, is one of my favorite accompaniments with coffee. The light application of tonquin pairs well with the acidity and bitterness of the coffee.

    While not my personal flavor, two of my pipe club friends had a Cooper S. Fun little cars for sure! Local service/maintenance became an issue for them both, so they were traded in eventually. I know they both miss their old Minis.

    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    I had a Medford Vyper about 11 years ago. Cool design, and was closer to my likes back then than now.. but even still, I only carried it for a few weeks. Eventually I got tired of it weighing me down!
