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

    My New Toy: A few months ago, @PaulRVA suggested I get myself a Savinelli Bing. I do have the Avorio, and finally bit the bullet about a month ago and bought the Bing. Rather than whine about the break in process, I kept it under wraps, (well, I guess I did whine a bit a few days ago), and have...

    G'morning - well, afternoon now in PG. Shown is my morning smoke, and my upcoming afternoon smoke. MM Minicob and Mr. Brog #94 Nosewarmer, all loaded and ready to go. Smoked cob first, of course. Tobacco: Sutliff Pure Latakia. Reason: tongue bite from breaking in another new toy. Future...

    Spent the early part of my career in public education, the rest and vast majority in the symphonic world. Yup. Same thing. Seems the idiots are promoted and run things . . . . got lots of stories to tell about conductors, but will just leave the subject by letting you know that in the band, (our...

    Doesn't look like a craggy mess from here - more like a great smoker. My sympathies for having to go back to work, though . . . . .

    Excellent review - I'm kinda entering the level where all of this makes sense. I've a long ways to go yet, but thanks for this! :) I especially appreciated the comment that the Virginia nicotine content was around 2/5. Useful for those of us who track Vitamin N.

    Just Arrived Back after a pretty fantastic week. Rather than posting about it, i'll leave it for tomorrow and catch y'all up to date. In the mean time, I'll simply wish Jimi a belated HBD, finish my cleanup, and see ya'll when I wake up. Which is gonna be late! :ROFLMAO:

    Today's Appearance and Morning Smoke: Cold Instant Coffee, and had my cheap Kwiki Grape first to avoid AAD syndrome paranoia, and now chomping on the stem of my my Burley Heavy Gord's Cherry English, in my MM mini Cob. Okay changeup for variety. No picture this morning. Full day already...

    Catch Up Smoking Post - In the midst of a massive cleanup for next Friday's Film Festival with the guys, and for today I returned to my usual MM Minicob with Capt. Black Cherry, and am just lighting up a Kwiki Chocolate Cigar as I type, for my typing/posting ritual. Several smokes of note in...

    Stunning little pipe! In my limited time today in post reviewing, I'd say that of the last 4 pages of posts, this is the pipe I'd most like to own! Classic, smaller bowl, and very elegant design. Bravo!

    Late Night Catchup Post. Skippable Drivel after smoke posts. A couple of interesting puffs this afternoon and evening. First one, one of those bellringers that we get once in a while that has the pipe talking to us. Sir Walter Raleigh in my Brog #25 Kaiser. I have two of these pipes. Both...

    Never really looked closely at the blasting job on this pipe. Was too caught up o n the shape and general aesthetic. But that's an amazing surface! 😃
