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

WCC Blue Ridge Special in a Meer

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Coffee from a freshly opened bag of Gold Star Peruvian Macchu Picchu, neat, is my drink. Harry the Hairy is snoozin' by my feet. Forgot to mention that when I was walking down the hill from my first walking lap, Tomato the Brave came out of the sewer to greet me. I gave him a quick head scratch, and continued on. When I was coming down the street for my last lap, I saw a young teenager at his grandmother's mailbox. Tomato ran up to him as fast as he could, and got a lot of back and head rubbing. When I got near them, I complimented the young man (who I've never seen before) for his kindness to Tomato, who stayed near us long enough for the guy's young sister to pet on Tomato, too. They've never seen Tomato before, and asked about him. Everybody loves Tomato and he loves everybody, too.

Jim, I loved the story about Tomato the Brave and Harry. Those are always portions of your reports that I look for. Sure hope Abner shows up.

Guy on the forum sent me a couple pipes and one of them looks just like this one. I don't know how long he had smoked it but it's beautifully colored. It's a CAO I think. Anyway give ya an idea of what your might end up looking like. Here's mine.

I am absolutely loving this cool snap. Rode my big black TWH, Whip this morning and had a fine time.

I'm "chillin'" with some Faulkner Flake Va from Country Squire in my Bones nose warmer while the horses forage in the woods behind the house. Good times...........

I have a small soft meer that has taken on considerable color, but my 2 bigger meers - well, one is starting to shade a bit if you look closely and use your imagination, but I'm thinking the next owners of the pipes will see much more of that than I will. They're smoking well now, at least.

That's a beautiful pipe.

This one's awesome. Very cool

Thank you. I was looking for a Danish Made Stanwell Lovat that was on the "different" side, I stumbled upon this one and it definitely fits the bill.

Thanks and glad you like it. Great smoker.

I can't recall the "official" name and I went to their website all excited to find the name for you, but alas, I don't see it in their inventory anymore.

I might suggest that you click on the link and contact them about when they will have more. They are really good about replying to messages. Good luck......

Goofed around in the garage a bit, watched some Looney Tunes, and restrapped an old aluminum chair. Also had a bowl of Pegasus in a Bertram Apple. A fine morning indeed (forgot to post earlier)!

While hangin' with my Saturday afternoon ZOOM buddies, I smoked some vintage Nat Sherman No. 536 English Empire in my late 90s Skipper calabash shaped pipe. Great smoke and even better conversation. My beverage was a mug of Jack Daniel's Tennesse Whiskey Coffee, straight.
