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

[Eireprof]

The parcel arrived: Robert McConnell - Heritage - 5 Year Matured Virginia, Marylebone, Regent Street, Shakespeare. I continue to study the Heritage collection. Of all these tobaccos, the only one I haven't smoked is Marylebone. Perhaps I'll start with it (Peterson Christmas 2012 xl90 pipe) and I'll write my impressions laterView attachment 407791

Great line. Hoping to track down some Highgate one day.

Well, yes, not bad tobacco Kentucky, Perique, Virginia. But it is also the most expensive of this line. I haven't smoked it for a long time.

Steamworks in the Adebayo.
Cold front has busted through the “heat dome”. I had to put on a jacket this morning. Brrrrr (not complaining).

You have an excellent pipe collection but there is something about this one that I really like.

Is that the MM Carolina Gent? If so, that's the model I've been eyeing, to get as a "pocket pipe." I love my Country Gentleman.

On this cooler morning (not jacket weather here yet), smoking some Wilke Peanut Butter in a Gatlinburlier Bulldog I just got in the mail yesterday. What a sweet smoking pipe! No other info about this pipe but I liked the contrast of smooth and rusticated. I’ve been wanting a pipe from there since I’m from East TN. I used to go in there as a kid in the late 70s/early 80s just for the smell. Black coffee (8 o’clock and Vietnamese beans I roast myself) to drink. August is having a good start!

Absolutely gorgeous, and unique, pipe. Love the contrast and the rich, dark brown color. Great choice!

Can’t put your finger on it?

It came from Scandpipes, and I had been eyeing it for some time- maybe a year or so.
I knew the size/dimensions were good for me, but there was something that kept me from pulling the trigger.
I gave in eventually and worked a deal with Per.
Glad I did- it’s a fabulous smoker.

Honestly, it is the simplicity of the pipe. I also think the proportions are exceptional.

What a glorious day with a 30f temperature drop and an overcast sky with a 8mph breeze.

Last full month of summer already? The pages seem to be flying off the calendar. HU Dockworker in a Fikri Baki bamboo with coffee for the first bowl of the month.
