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

    Heading out with some Cabbie's in a Pete meer before doing some errands in the city...

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

    Long day. Capped it off with a late-night bowl of FUSTG in an IMP and now i'm off to hit the sack. And so to all a good night...

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    This one was just decent. But that's not surprising with the lighter body. There are very few milder cigars out there that have enough of what i'm looking for with a cigar. It did have a classic Honduran flavor profile for those that are into it. Certainly not a dog rocket by any means...

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

    I never can help but notice the quite large sign hung in the local butcher shop back home. Right by the ring up counter it says boldly, "Unattended children will be given an espresso and a free puppy." Always loved that. Time before the next appointment means time for a pipe, so...

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Sampled the Aladino Connecticut this morning between appointments while on a nice walk to a nearby park.

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    My dad used to drink this stuff. But he never sprung for the Single Barrel. He also drank Chevas. Once i got to know what good whisky was i always thought it would have been fun to gift him an upgraded bottle of those marques he already enjoyed, like this single barrel offering or Chevas 18...

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

    Thanks, man. Doing well. No complaints. I've only smoked a bowl so far, but i'm digging it. I think this one's only going to get better over the next week or so and i may order more before i leave. Great with coffee! Looks good on yas. 👍 Those little Toscanos are pretty decent. I'd...

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

    Going to do a rare treat tonight for dinner via Uber while my wife works here from the Air BnB on her laptop. Going to try a "La Carne" (meat lover's) pizza tonight from Mony's Pizzaria in Houston. Heard good things. We shall see. In the meantime, i'm heading downstairs with a Castello full...

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

    Heading out the door with a bowl of Blockade Runner in the new Pete Tawny Deluxe after a nice late first meal of the day. I think i could have fasted today, but not with as much smoking as i have planned. Hoping it doesn't rain too soon. I'd like to explore the 3 Old Joe blends i have slated...

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

    Hummingbirds aggressively defend reliable food sources as a survival instinct due to their fast metabolism. They need to eat often, so if they find a patch of reliable flowers in the wild (or a hanging feeder that's always miraculously full) they stick close and make sure no one else depletes...

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

    Trying a new cigar blend this morning as a first bowl in the Pete Newgrange B10 with coffee. Going to head out into the warm air for a smoke then come back and make some eggs, boudin and bacon for breakfast. Dinner was too substantial to even be interested in eating for a while this morning.

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

    Late night bowl of FUSTG in an Ali cherrywood. Nice, warm Houston city night and way too much seafood and wine for dinner to get to bed at a decent hour. Had to wait it out. This is some good stuff and certainly a nice way to pass the time while letting things settle.

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    I agree. Good stuff. I had a tin of this to try a while back. These are a couple for kicking around the smoking lounge. You have good taste. ;)

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Yeah, if i liked it enough to stock up, i'd definitely pull the flakes, dry them a bit and jar it up. Might order another before i leave if i have a few more from this batch of to-try stuff that i want to stock up on.

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

    Just had a fine first run in the previously unsmoked very large Ser Jacopo L2 with a first try of Kelly's Coin, which turned out to be a great combo. Sitting out back of the Air BnB in the TX shade in complete solitary bliss until i saw the dark clouds roll across and a few droplets fall...

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    So here's the culmination of the 2 Smokingpipes orders combined with one from Watch City that i had shipped to the Air BnB while in the hospital room bored out of my skull. You'll have to forgive the cell phone quality as i don't have access to my digital SLR while travelling. A few stock up...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    On a positive note, i decided to do a side-by-side comparison between 3 of the OJK offerings, since the only one i've ever had is the original and mostly smoked that early on. So, 3 tins freshly popped as of last night: Will get to "work" on tasting all 3 of these back to back either...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Well, popped my Pesse Canoe Oriental not-so-fresh from SP last night. No go. Doesn't exactly look like the one @Puff nstuff just showed, to say the least. I sent an email to SP. Hopefully they'll replace it as i was looking forward to this one. No biggie, though, lots of other new stuff...

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

    One of the tougher things to deal with in life, but he'll always be around. I feel my dad often, especially in the struggles. Keep ya head up. I'm glad you're digging that new meer. Great way to keep him close as you watch those horns color. Prayers for both of yas. Heading out with an M...

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Nice freedom walk yesterday with a Rafael Gonzales through the garden and onward to the Air BnB. Spent the day opening 2 boxes from Smoking Pipes and one from Watch City. Lots of new stuff to try here for the rest of the stay in TX (until Oct 8). Happy as a clam to be outta that cell!
