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

    It’s been a very busy day visiting with family, so no time for a pic today. But so far my smokes today have been as follows, in sequential order: Half & Half in an MM Country Gent, C&D Star of the East Gold in a ‘60s rusticated “ripple grain” Old-Vic Dublin #192 (a Lorenzo sub-brand, with the...

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

    Last night I dreamed of an old lover dressed in grey, I’ve had this fever now since yesterday. Wake up darlin’, they’re knocking, the colonel’s standing in the sun, with his stupid face, the glasses and the gun. (Yeah, one of my top 5 all-time desert island albums.) One of a handful of albums...

    For self-portraits, burst mode on the camera is your friend. 😉

    Not inquiring for yours specifically, of course. I was simply wondering whether it was an item that was available somewhere, or if it was more of a bespoke item. Obviously the latter. The fact that is is silver is the icing on the cake. Nevertheless, I am quite envious of such a stunning piece...

    Best Tin Art?

    IMHO, one of Butera’s best blends. I have one sealed tin left. Wish they’d resurrect this one.

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

    Late morning, relaxing on the back porch at Mom’s house in rural north central Alabama—about 20 miles west of Talladega. Overcast, but warm enough to be wearing shorts and a T-shirt. Enjoying C&D Engine #382 in an early 1970’s Comoy’s Guildhall shape #607, of which I’ve never seen another...

    And just where, pray tell, did you get that absolutely wicked top-hole tamper? Inquiring minds with a pocketful of bob want to know!

    Lighters vs Matches

    That is the only type of Zippo I use, except for one with a butane torch insert that I keep with my emergency gear.

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

    Sitting here this morning, after I made a breakfast of Belgian waffles with maple syrup, bacon, coffee and juice, counting my blessings and meditating on the significance of the Christmas season. I have to travel this afternoon, and I wish safe travels to any of you who have to do the same. I...

    Minimal Happiness Requirements?

    A simple bale of air-cured Tennessee burley leaf would be more than enough to keep me happy for the rest of my days.

    I am in complete agreement. Apart from her work in clay pipes, the lady is a true artisan in a plethora of creative arts media. 👍

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

    Wow. Not sure what to do.. I've never been finished with Christmas Eve errands and honey-do's this early in the afternoon! Got double-checked clearance from the wife to make sure that she didn't need anything else done, and I'm headed to the front porch for an late afternoon smoke. Just got in...
