***What Are You Smoking, September 2025?***
Hello to all my fellow pipe smokers! I’m heading to China soon, and of course — no way I could travel without my pipes and tobaccos. I brought my favorite set along and will be posting little reports from there. Let’s see what it feels like to smoke in the Middle Kingdom.- Benedict Munsinger

I’m not a big fan of aromatics, but Boswell Hunter’s Choice turned out to be quite decent — smooth, restrained in flavor, and without that artificial edge you sometimes get. A classic Boswell style blend. In the US it’s reasonably priced, about the same as other Boswell aromatics, but outside...- Benedict Munsinger

Mario Pascucci -P Rust-2137 + Stanislaw - Scottish Autumn Flake is an excellent straight Virginia flake from the Four Seasons line. Long-pressed, unflavoured, with natural sweetness of honey, bread, and moderate fruit tones. It smokes smooth and cool, no bite on the tongue — strength is...- Benedict Munsinger

Stanislaw Irish Spring Flake smokes quite comfortably even in smaller pipes — currently trying it in a Nording Compass, and it goes smooth and well-balanced.- Benedict Munsinger

No, colleague, these cigarillos were bought recently and are intended for the domestic Cuban market. In fact, they were bought in Cuba. And they were stored as they should be, although they have dried out a little.- Benedict Munsinger

I really love the Pesaro school of pipe making — Mastro de Paja and all the masters who came from it. For me, it’s a very special tradition: a blend of Italian creativity in shapes and a refined craftsmanship with briar.- Benedict Munsinger

🤝I fully agree — it’s just like with tobacco. Tastes and impressions are always subjective: what one person finds “deep and complex,” another may find “flat or dull.” Marketing only amplifies this effect — polished stories and brand legends often shape expectations more than the actual quality...- Benedict Munsinger

Mario Pascucci -P Rust-2127 A beautiful Sunday afternoon with good tobacco, a good pipe and a good German beer. What else do you need for philosophical reflections on the frailties of existence in this world?- Benedict Munsinger

Peterson Christmas 2012 x105 I still remember my first tin of Samarra — I honestly didn’t understand it at all. In fact, the whole Original Mixture series initially struck me as rather sharp, even “unpleasant.” And it’s true that many smokers never come back to it for exactly this reason. But...- Benedict Munsinger

After all, dogs are man's best friends!! God, those eyes... I also have a little Jack Russell, and sometimes she gives me that “please‑give‑me‑a‑treat” look that’s impossible to ignore. She knows exactly that that innocent yet persistent stare guarantees her a snack—and, of course, I can’t say no.🤣- Benedict Munsinger
