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

    Beautiful summer’s evening on the deck smoking 2018 MacBaren Old Dark Fired in a Castello Old Antiquari shape 55.

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

    Enjoying some summer like weather on the deck smoking some C&D Sanselpolcro with some Maestro Pucinni mixed in out of my Savinelli Estella 115EX. The addition of the Pucinni elevates this blend for me. I was disappointed with how the double fermented Italian Kentucky was more of a background...

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

    Rainy and unseasonably cool this evening, but I’m on the screened in deck smoking well aged GH Dark Flake scented in a Briar Works prince. Decaf coffee on the side and good music on the Bluetooth speaker. Life is good!

    Jim's C&D Sansepolcro 2025 (Small Batch) Review.

    I’ve never smoked Sanselpolcro before, but I’m a dark fired Kentucky aficionado, and especially the Italian kind, so I ordered 3 tins. What’s interesting is how different Jim’s impressions are from Jeremy Reeves! Jim noted that the Italian dark fired in more present in this year’s version...

    Enjoying a nice 75 degree evening on the deck smoking C&D Maestro Pucinni in a Savinelli Estella 315 EX. Jamming to some Jerry Garcia Band and Tom Petty and Archie and Wolfe are enjoying some deck time on the lounge!

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

    After the rain, the sun is out and I am on the deck smoking C&D Maestro Pucinni in a Savinelli Estella 315 EX. Decaf coffee to pair and a Led Zeppelin show on the Bluetooth speaker from March 24, 1975 for its 50th anniversary!

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

    This morning it’s Rattray Stirling Flake in a Savinelli New Art. The pipe was given to me by a good friend who resides in South Korea. He purchased this pipe at a shop in Seoul and then gifted it to me while visiting the States a few years back. Comsa coffee fresh from the French press and...

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

    Enjoying some 2015 GL Pease Union Square in a Savinelli Estella 316. As with all GLP blends, this has aged wonderfully. Decaf coffee on the side and some good tunes on the Bluetooth speaker. -Scott

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

    Enjoying some great company at Boswell Hooligan meetup! On the ride up it was GH Dark Flake unscented in a Savinelli Estella 115 EX, followed by C&D Maestro Puccini in a GBD Conquest pedigree. Can’t stress how good it is for the soul to get out and hang with the pipe community!
