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

[JimInks]

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.

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2014 Orlik Golden Sliced in an early 20th century Gordon Special Bruyere 49 apple with a triangular shank and tapered black vulcanite stem.

Yup, but that's the beauty of an Odds & Ends jar ... or Leftovers or Junk or whatever of many names.

I have borrowed from another member the term "Mystery Jar".
The blend, I call it "Frankenstein Mixture", from the works of another Brittish author...

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. 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...

Just finished smoking year 2021 first production Watch City Simply Orange Virginia in a black sandblast medium bend Peterson POTY 4AB No. 182/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. That'll do it for me today.

Exclusive in a Briarlee, lots of black coffee to start the day, in other words, “same old, same old”.
Grateful every day.

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.

I don't know in my Butz-Choquin Regate (it's VA and Burley, I know that)

@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).

I don’t usually remember to pick something for Meerschaum Monday, but, today, I did. Going to have Cornell & Diehl Star of the East Flake in a Pipes Depot Squat Rhodesian Meerschaum.
