***What Are You Smoking, September 2025?***
Well, it looks like I was lucky🤷🏼. All the blends I tried were quite comfortable to smoke.- Benedict Munsinger

Stanislaw Irish Spring Flake is a classic Virginia flake with just a touch of Perique. The Perique is barely noticeable — more of a subtle spicy accent that highlights the natural sweetness of the Virginia rather than dominating it. The result is a smooth, balanced smoke without any heaviness...- Benedict Munsinger

I enjoy this blend for its harmony — it’s not a “heavy Latakia artillery,” but rather a calm, well-balanced mixture that’s perfect for a slow, relaxed smoke.- Benedict Munsinger

***What Are You Smoking, September 2025?***
Another sunny autumn day. For the walk, I picked up my Luciano Virgin Sandblast Chubby Dublin (Pease/Di Piazza Design 2014) and packed it with Maverick Landmark Series – Golden Gate (subbrand of C&D). The smooth, classic taste of Virginia and Orientals matched perfectly with the unhurried pace...- Benedict Munsinger

(philosophical post) A sunny September day — the leaves are only just starting to turn yellow, though most remain green, and there’s something unique in this moment of transition. I packed my RMC Marylebone into a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Lestrade (dark smooth) — a fitting companion for the...- Benedict Munsinger

Mario Pascucci -P Rust-2136 (horn ring), smoking Maverick – Golden Gate (a C&D sub-brand) — a classic blend of Red and Lemon Virginias with Basma and Izmir, cut as Broken Flake. The taste is smooth and natural, the Virginia sweetness balanced by the spicy, fragrant Orientals. Strength is on the...- Benedict Munsinger

***What Are You Smoking, September 2025?***
Hello, fellow pipe smokers. I’ve just returned home from China, now sitting with a cup of Pu-erh (2007 vintage) and smoking my Sherlock Holmes Dark Smooth Lestrade P-Lip. I tried Mastro de Paja – Roma (blend of Virginia, Maryland, and Cavendish). It’s a well-prepared mixture that burns evenly...- Benedict Munsinger

🥰 Dogs are simply wonderful beings: full of loyalty, warmth, and honesty — sometimes they remind us better than people what true humanity really is.- Benedict Munsinger

***What Are You Smoking, September 2025?***
That’s exactly why I asked about the quality — buying a modern mass-produced pipe often feels like a gamble. It can look beautiful, but not necessarily be a really good “smoker” in terms of comfort and performance. Savinelli unfortunately has the same issue nowadays. That’s why I tend to look...- Benedict Munsinger

I only like black pu-erh; the earthy, nutty flavor is simply amazing. Although my family doesn't drink it, I'm the only one who prefers this tea.😄- Benedict Munsinger

What year was this Brebbia made? The latest models haven't gotten very good reviews, the quality has dropped. Or is this slander from enemies🤔?- Benedict Munsinger

Continuing my travel notes from China. Today I’m smoking a Luciano (Pease/Di Piazza Design 2014) Virgin Sandblast Chubby Dublin with Scottish Autumn Flake. Also picked up an authentic black Pu-erh tea, vintage 2007 — a true taste of the Middle Kingdom.- Benedict Munsinger

Smoking my Mario Pascucci -P Rust-2137 and continuing my travel notes from China. Unlike Vietnam and Thailand, where good coffee is everywhere, in China it’s quite a challenge — I barely managed to find some in the supermarket. Real milk is an even bigger issue, as it usually is across much of...- Benedict Munsinger

I get your point. But honestly, wherever you go, people mostly care about the same simple things — family, work, home. I’ve never felt it’s my place to tell another country how to live; I’m just a guest. China has its nuances, Thailand and Vietnam have theirs. What strikes me is how much...- Benedict Munsinger

Hello friends! 🌿 Today I’m enjoying my Nording Compass with some trusty Scottish Autumn Flake. What’s especially nice — here in China you can smoke in the hotel without any issues, and in general there aren’t the same strict restrictions on smoking. For us pipe smokers, it feels like true...- Benedict Munsinger

Greetings, fellow pipe smokers! I’m currently in China, and of course I couldn’t leave behind my favorite Luciano Pease/Di Piazza Design Virgin Sandblast Chubby Dublin. This pipe has proven many times to be a reliable travel companion — light, comfortable, and full of character. Smoking it here...- Benedict Munsinger
