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

[Eireprof]

Nightcap in a Peterson SH Professor.

Atlas Balkan in a Savinelli Pot. Nice bold smoke for a night with north winds right off the lake. It'd be bracing but I'm nice and warm in my garage so take that nature.

..... I'm obviously challenged verbosely ....

I don't know, @gord , I would venture to say, that your verbosity cannot be challenged!! LOL

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm near the first third of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match In a black sandblasted full bend 2025 Rinaldo YY Lithos dublin with a tapered amber tortoise shell acrylic stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Daisy the Feral Princess is improving. She's only been in and out twice while I was eating dinner. She's in right now lying by my feet. Harry spent much of the day sleeping under the kitchen table, and he went out about twenty minutes ago. Tomato the Brave has been in to eat and run today.

Everything else notwithstanding, you are drinking the coffee I grew up on, and still drink to this day. When I was a kid (started drinking coffee at 7), Community was only available in Louisiana, Mississippi, and coastal Texas. Both of my parents hailed from Mississippi, and I was born in Louisiana. When we later moved to Alabama, it wasn't available there at the time. I clearly remember my father bringing home a 12-bag case of Community 1-lb. bags any time we visited MS or LA relatives, or later, when I was in college in MS, he would have me bring a case home a couple of times during the school year. I did the same thing well into my 30's, as it wasn't made nationally available until the early '90s.

Excellent, flavorful choice of beverage, sir.
I always take mine "neat" as well.

Would love to find some of this blend.
Be sure to smoke it again on the actual 11th day of Christmas (January 4th).

4/20 Special Brown Flake in an Altinay.

 

[Lux]

Yeah . . . . have trouble with that, too. Should really leave the filter in because I seem to be very susceptible to tongue bite, but . . . .

Nice pipe btw!!

I’d read some reviews of it saying it was a wet pipe, but I’m not having that trouble.

Maybe starting to get through my thick head to slow down and enjoy the flavors.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and just finished smoking year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Been reading.

Weather is too good to pass up. Enjoying a Días de Gloria - Brazil.

Indian Cardamom Chai with milk.

Two friends on another forum, both unfortunately deceased, turned me on to Community Coffee. Both of them wrote their drink as I do because they drank it neat as well. Every time you see that phrase, you can bet that I am remembering two very wonderful people who were dedicated to being special human beings who enjoyed pipe smoking and good coffee.

......
The horrible thought (and I wonder how many others here would admit the same thing) - I think I'd be perfectly happy for the remainder of my pipe smoking life, to have only Cobs and Falcons.
......

I admit.

Amphora Full in the annual pipe of year 2018, made by George Leoussis for the members of the Greek pipe club.
Weekend is not far good people...

Cabbie's in an IMP while driving down to Whole Foods to grab a few essentials.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a little low calorie snacking, and am half way through this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of KBV Prince of Wales 2023 in a straight smooth terracotta 2014 Sherlock Holmes Baker Street bulldog with sterling silver band and a tapered black p-lip stem. Watching a documentary about Alfred Hitchcock.

 

[Roach1]

Briar Fox in a Pete SPD 2011 69 with coffee.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2024) in a black straight, grain etched family era post WW2 Four Dot Sasieni “Appleby” apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Sleepy Suzy decided that food was more important than sleep, so off I go to the kitchen.

Haunted Bookshop in a Jirsa 210.

 

[Puff nstuff]

Just had a bowl of Coniston in the Washington cob. First pipe in many days and it really hit the spot.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of a bowl left of year 2020 H&H Chatham Manor in a straight smooth 2023 Peterson Red Killarney 53 lovat with metal accents around the shank and a black acrylic p-lip saddle stem. Tomato the Brave and Harry the Hairy came in to eat, but neither ate much, and went back out. Daisy the Feral Princess is lying on a catnip sock.
