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

    Puffing on some From Beyond in a Nording partially rusticated Billiard. Good band practice and this might just be my winter blend. Each smoke reveals something different, and I like it. This pinch seems full of that aged Latakia and it's heavenly tasting.

    What Were Your Go-To Tobacco’s in 2025?

    My usual mainstays were C&D Pegasus Bayou Morning Haunted Bookshop Big N Burley GLP Cumberland But the stuff that was new and liked was Carolina Red Flake with Perique, Billy Budd, From Beyond, and Bayou Night. Plenty of other stuff but these were the most memorable.

    Chronic wet smoker

    I feel your pain I too have similar issues. I'd say balsa filters are a good step but also try packing a bit tighter as someone above said and slow down on the puffing cadence. Then when you think you've slowed down enough slow down some more. You might relight more but once you get the idea...

    But I generally expect nothing and yet I'm still disappointed.

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

    Must have missed the party it smells crazy in here. Happy birthday @JimInks ! My final smoke of November is a revisiting of Sun Bear Navy Cask in my new Rossi Rhodesian. I jarred up my tin over the summer cause I sort of burnt out on it but now it's much more enjoyable and I'm finding more...

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

    I had a real cliche of a morning, Early Morning Pipe in a Marksman Billiard with a pot of piping hot coffee. Moving a little slow this morning, might've been the scotch or mightve been how late I stayed up. Whatever, on to the blustery day. Gonna do a little Christmas Shopping in a bit, thank...

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

    If you go make sure to bring the entire family and then park your cart halfway across an aisle while ya'll stare up at the cloud formations. I dunno why but theres something about costco that makes me wonder if people just forget how to exist in public. Or maybe its just the one near me. Or...

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

    Pigged out on some smoked turkey with all the classic sides with the family and then drove home through some pretty but treacherous lake effect snow. Thankful for a lot this year, especially this pipe full of From Beyond in a Savinelli Siena Author. Cheers and stay warm y'all.

    Pipe Night in Akron 11/25

    Yeah it was a rousing success I'd say! I also didn't realize it at the time but I was also sitting and chatting with Mike and Tim while enjoying my new tins. It's a shame they only do this once a year.

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

    Went to Pipe Night in Akron, it was a lot of fun hanging out with likeminded folks. While there I enjoyed a bowl of C&D Borboun Bleu in a brand new (I can't help it) Rossi Antico Rhodesian, and then a pipe of Warped Until The End in a Savinelli Rusticated Pot. Good smokes and good times all...

    Inveterate pipe smoker, new to this peanut gallery…

    I play the upright bass so anytime I wanna even look at a new one I'm seeing a price with a comma in it. Welcome to the forum!

    You should press it into a crumble cake. Really let the flavors meld.

    C&D Briar Fox Review

    I since got a bit to try between posting and it is a delightful blend, though I do find that it can get cigarette-y if puffed too fast. I agree with @zercules too, it reminds me of Haunted Bookshop sans perique, that being a benefit or detriment is up to the user. I especially enjoy it when...

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

    Just finished a nice tasty bowl of C&D Poplar Camp in my new Peterson Aran Paneled Acorn. This pipe really likes Virginia what can I say, and the bowl is the perfect size for taking my pup for a walk. Lasted just a bit before I got home, I could see this becoming a new workhorse pipe. First...

    I know part of the fun is finding out what your match likes but whoever got me would be pleased to know I generally like everything except for aromatics. Hope that narrows it down for ya!

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

    Puffing on some Three Nuns in my brand new "I don't need a new pipe but I wanted to try the wintertime reserve so I guess I'll get a new pipe" Peterson Aran paneled acorn. It's a lovely little pipe and it seems to like Virginias so I think we'll get nice and acquainted over this winter...
