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

    I know the November WAYS is up and humming, but as this is my last smoke of October, it's going here ... From a recent sampler, a new to me Baccarat (natural) cigar. 🍂 It was ok. Certainly not terrible, but would not purchase another. Sweetened tip, which I usually don't smoke. A little...

    That's really great. We only used feathered shuttlecocks, but we were pretty serious LOL. Of course, indoor is quite different from outdoor -- even the slightest TX breeze wreaks havoc. But way to go. If you get a chance to play an actual indoor court sometime, it's quite rigorous. There...

    Thanks @Benedict Munsinger , I was hoping you might chime in with some tips. Thank you for the well wishes. And right you were. I steeped those same leaves several times, for longer periods, and it actually kept getting darker and stronger. It became nicely dark and flavorful -- it just...

    That is awesome, dude! Would you believe my main sport when I was young, after tennis, was badminton? I played indoor badminton several years, through high school, and a little in college. This was decades ago obviously. I was just wearing my old Club T-shirt the other day. Washington...

    The very end of a pouch of John Bull True English, with a healthy smattering of cigar leaf strewn in. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍂 2018 Vermont Freehand Cherrywood Morta with DIY hardwood ring. Really good mix. Pu'er tea -- more on that below, if interested. 🍵 @Benedict Munsinger & @Fralphog Since you are...

    A beautiful evening. Another new (to me) cigar. Oliva Inferno -- all Nicaraguan leaf. 🍂 I think it might go nicely with this strong Scottish Ale: Real Ale Real Heavy. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🍺 ✅ Update: Excellent cigar, and pairs great with the Scottish Ale! 👍

    On a glorious afternoon (weather-wise) enjoying Pesse Canoe Purple Pearl 💜 in a Peterson SPD 2011 (221). First pipe I ever owned. I really like this Purple. Gold Star Papua New Guinea coffee ☕. Excellent.

    Another windy day here, but now calm (yet chilly) at night. Working through a "sampler" of new (to me) cigars. Romeo y Julieta House of Capulet. Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Pretty nice. 🍂 Y'all enjoy your World Series; I'll be watching WTA Chennai Open tennis! 🎾🎾😹

    @tmc Allow me to join you on this day, for I, too, as we speak, author my 300th post. ("And there was much rejoicing ... yay ... " ⛳ ) Tonight I'm finally partaking in Meerschaum Monday, with John Bull True English laced with cigar leaf (Tampa Ybor City). 🍂 Vienna-style Red Lager from...

    Marvelous Monday Meer, Mark! (A quadri-fecta of M's?) Love the butterscotch/amber stem as well. In fact, I admire all the bright, colorful stems I've been seeing lately ... 😻

    Kinda hot afternoon 🥵, but not too hot to enjoy Pesse Canoe Purple Pearl 💜 in the "new" 1973 Dunhill Root Briar 126. Coffee, cream/no sugar -- Gold Star Papua New Guinea ☕

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

    Beautiful. I love seeing DIY (amateur?) homemade pipes. So glad to hear it smokes well. Although much simpler, my little dowel-based pipe actually smokes really well. Question about the stem: I assume you didn't make that (?) -- did you buy a replacement stem and then just whittle down the...

    On a very calm, peaceful evening, enjoying a delightful bowl of MB HH ODF in a Santambrogio Bent Apple. 🍏 I created more of a cube cut, and it's working really, really well for me. Along with Saint Arnold 2025 Pumpkinator Imperial Stout. Strong stuff. A bit sweet, as these often are, but...

    That Meer. Leaves. Me. Speechless. 😻 Spectacular! And talk about a pipe that will *never* get hot in your hand. You are clearly in the running for one of @gord's special awards ... :)

    Nice, overcast afternoon. John Bull True English laced with RM Pure Cuba in a Vermont Freehand Cherrywood Morta. 🍂 Latakia and cigar leaf really do complement each other nicely. Coffee, cream/no sugar -- just cracked open a bag of whole bean Gold Star Papua New Guinea. :coffee...
