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

[Steddy]

You have good taste, my friend.

After a nice (albeit, late) baby back rib and lamb chop dinner from the smoker with a couple glasses of Vacqueyras from the beloved Rhone valley, i'm ready for a full-bodied smoke while all this settles in. A chunky bowl of Maestro Puccini in a Carlo Scotti-era Castello Sea Rock Briar G fits the bill here.

Haha great minds smoke alike. I’m almost surprised at how easy Penny Farthing burns.

Cigar Time: Oliva Master Blends 3

 

[BurleyVonPuffington]

Out of a number somewhere over 50 that I refuse to count for the sake of plausible deniability, I only have 5, 9mm pipes, but the 2 workhorses of the group are a godsend when I overdo it, as I have been lately, and tongue bite hits. I should probably also have switched and had a few cigars instead, but just didn't want to. BriarWorks Back Down South in a BriarWorks sandblasted black bent pot with saddle stem, and then Peter Heinrichs English blend in the Balandis XL Anse.

The little workhorse J07, now burning my “Gypo” blend (the un-pressed version of my Pikey Caravan Puck: Va#1, 515-RC, ODF, 507-S).

Been too busy the last couple weeks to catch up with this thread and post my smokes but today was a slow day at work so I finally managed it! Had my gran's funeral the week before last, and a friend's this Thursday, Bill Door has certainly been busy. I'm sure a handful of you will know the reference. This morning I smoked my first ever bowl of Gawith Hoggarth's Skiff mixture, followed by another bowl of the same. It might be my favourite English already, needless to say I have no desire to buy EMP ever again. This afternoon I've just enjoyed my first bowl of Sam's Chocolate Flake (I couldn't get anymore Bob's). I'm undecided if I prefer it to Bob's as it's such a different beast, the best comparison I can make is a slightly sweeter version of Solani Aged Burley Flake with fewer "rough notes" as I believe Jim calls them

Starting off my day late with a bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Going to feed the cats.

GL Pease Fillmore in a Savinelli. I am getting a little Latakia from this and now I don’t want to smoke this in any of my VaPer pipes. How about a free dedicated pipe if I buy 10 tins, please Mr Pease.
