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

[Mortar0341]

Just got back from a friend's wedding in San Diego. Got to see my brother and a whole bunch of friends I haven't seen in awhile. I haven't surfed in a few years but I managed to catch one today!

So now I'm home and everyone is in bed I'm in the garage with a delightful Guinness and GH&Co Kendal Dark loaded in my Peterson Short bulldog feeling grateful.

Hope you all have a terrific weekend!

Heck yeah man!! That's awesome. I live in Florida, so we don't really have big waves, but I've been wanting to get into skim boarding. Cool pipe, I've been thinking about getting a Peterson maybe

Couldn't sleep, so I'm smoking a bowl of year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was my first Sasieni. Bought it at my local Tinderbox for $9.95. Fed the ferals, and doing a little reading.

Having a bowl of Rattrays Old Gowrie in a Chacom poker with coffee. We got a lot of rain last night so here’s to hoping the flooding won’t be terrible.

Good morning! Classic Burley Kake in a cob. Black coffee.

One last small bowl of Chenet’s cake in a Manduela facet bulldog before I do stuff… Happy Sunday!

MB Scottish Mixture in a Pete 315. Rainy season had been dry, finally a few days of rain

A late start today, but we’re spinning things up with some Purple Cow in my Cob of Cobs. Playing fetch with the Corgi, good lord he runs fast.

Great way to spend a Sunday morning.

Out in the Florida room. Smoking 2017 Meridian in a Dunhill pot. Reading P.G. Wodehouse.

Man, I'm a sucker for cigar leaf blends.

I recently tried a couple Warped products with cigar leaf that were both repeatable: Cloud Hopper and King's Stride. Found C&D's Seersucker to be good, too. Have you tried these?

I always enjoy spending time at the Jacksonville beaches when i'm down there. The beach that goes on forever. Always easy to find some elbow room.

Waking bowl of Six Pence in a Tekin pear this morning.

Bayou Morning Flake in an Jirsa 107.
The first bowl was very good. I found it not too harsh or having a big nic hit. Lets see how the second goes.

Have not tried those, but THANKS, will add them to the "wishlist" for one day. I've only actually had two so far: GLP Key Largo and Lane Andullo. I absolutely love Key Largo, and I like Andullo (although my 2nd/final tin is almost finished and I don't believe it's made anymore). I also have enjoyed adding a pinch or two of cut-up actual cigar to other blends, with decent success. Fun to experiment!

Here are a few others that I'm interested in trying:

• HU Nyala
• CD Habana Daydream
• CD Purple Cow
• Low Country Guendalose

I wish I smoked more bowls per day (typically only 1 max), so I could actually try more of these blends!

Starting off my smoking day with a bowl from a freshly opened tin 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. Fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. M'lady is taking care of the ferals. The Barves-Marlins game starts after the bottom of the hour. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Haunted Bookshop in Lorenzetti Augustus Caesar 03 drinking coffee. Haunted Bookshop is my favorite Blend and Padron Natural has been my favorite Cigar. If I stocked up just on these two smokes and it's all I ever had, I'd be okay. I've had some really good smokes this weekend.

 

[Goblin_Walrus]

Smoking Peter Heinrich Special Curly in my Peterson junior nickel-mounted lovat. The little curly cut coins are almost the exact diameter of this pipe, and six or seven of them fit neatly in a stack - magical.

I ain't had the Warped Blends yet but I had the Cloud Hopper Cigar and it was really good. I'd be interested in trying both Cloud Hopper and Kings Stride. I've been wanting to try Billy Budd Blonde. The Meerschaum is awesome by the way
