Half way through this bowl 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 ate, we played together a little, and then he did some hard core bunny kicking and biting on a catnip sock before he went out. Harry the Hairy ate and went back out after getting some of my attention. Daisy the Feral Princess snoozed through all of that.

As @MontyTX said, it got quite cold in Texas. Not as cold as for some of you I'm sure, I mean we're still in the 30s, but cold enough! I'm sitting outside anyhow, but going for something quick. Also wanted to test out my 2nd homemade "easygar." (@infectedpsyche I'm still experimenting with DIYs. BTW, this time I'm really getting that peppery bite on the retro. I like it!) 😻

1/2 of a Toscano Antico in a modified, old, and otherwise unused, meer stem. 🇮🇹🍂

Harney & Sons Dark Tibet black tea. :coffee: The deep flavor complements the Toscano nicely.
(@CPT I'm really enjoying this Dark Tibet!)

Nice "hack" with that stem... Do you think about heating it an make it straight?
Yours and @infectedpsyche 's posts made me think that I must have a Tosacanello pipe...

You know, when I first envisioned using this stem, I thought I might end up straightening it. However, after testing it "as is" I kind of liked the angle. You can see from the photo that the Toscano is aimed quite nicely, and it felt natural in that position. So for now, I will try it again as is. Of course, straight would work fine as well. And yes, while I don't typically feel the need for a "holder" for a normal cigar, these small ones really are easier to smoke in a holder. I can get the most out of the small cigar this way. Let us know if you end up trying it out. 😻

JaZZ, I see you've really taken a liking to Italian Kentucky.😂 Toscano cigarillos are truly excellent. 👍🏻 I smoke them from time to time, too.

@Benedict Munsinger Absolutely, I'm really liking these a lot. They truly are a tantalizing combination of flavor and convenience - I've been cutting them in half according to @infectedpsyche 's preferred protocol. So far I've only tried this Antico, but I also have the flavored Hazelnut Toscanello, which I will try soon (when it's not 27 F outside). 😻
