***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***
Well ... (now Sun, Dec 14) ... maybe you'd be happier & enjoy Dec a bit more if you visited MN. Woke this morning with phone showing current temp of -17F (!!!) ... and I didn't stutter. That was "minus 17 degrees" with Wind Chill around "minus 25". Earlier this afternoon, I finally cut up a...- Sandblast

UPDATE: So, last night I never returned to those 2 pipes. Second mug of port wine with that hot meal in my belly & I headed for bed. Now, a return to those pipes & I've discovered something excellent. DGT with Yorktown is fantastic! I'd pulled out enough from the jar for those pipes, but I'm...- Sandblast

Winter evening in MN (technically still Fall). Winter storm alert, widespread slick roads, rapidly reduced visibility, intense snowfall predicting 4 - 6 inches in the metro area with some freezing drizzle also expected. 27 degrees. Hazardous travel (!!!). Last night, loaded 2 pipes, a...- Sandblast

Somebody mentioned Bluegrass ... a VaPer with DFK. Not ready for a TAD at the moment, so thought maybe I could make something (half a$$) similar. Mac Baren Club Blend with a splash of some Blending Perique. In a Sav Capri 611 (military stem) - a valued "old friend" pipe!- Sandblast

***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***
Now, Sun afternoon, smoking a pipeful from my "Odds & Ends" jar, which I've been adding to for about 20 years or so. Not many folks here ever comment on having "Odds & Ends" or "Bits & Pieces" or "Junk Jar" or "Scraps", etc. It's nice. Smoking in a Rossi 8804 Canadian rusticated. Made me...- Sandblast

Great 303. I love my little System Standard 303. But I think to fully appreciate it, you now have to get a System Standard 302. They'll keep each other company! ;)- Sandblast

Jim ... a while back, you showed & commented on a pipe that you said was your favorite. Not to diminish your collection of 4AB's, but I would have guessed this Lorenzo level top billiard to be your favorite, based upon how often you show it. I always love seeing it because my first quality...- Sandblast

Woke early this morning = Sat, Nov 1st. Went to McDonald's for their Big Breakfast w/Hotcakes plus a large black coffee. Drove to the viewing area at MSP Airport to eat & watch planes take off. Haven't had that breakfast for couple years so savored every bite! Beautiful out. The Autumn...- Sandblast
