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

[JimInks]

Almost half way through this 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. Fed my cats and three ferals. Watching the Braves-Reds game that was suspended from last night. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

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.View attachment 408125

Trying some Bad Cat Tobac. Tri-State 12 hour stoved.
Tri-State is equal parts flue/air/fire cured Va., stoved for 12 hours.
…in the Iwan Ries full bent that I just re-discovered in a storage container.

That’s some good looking tobak, and one of my favorite recipes (Irish Flake is supposed to be air/fire/flue but I’m not sure if the fire part is VA).

Did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Lunch is next. Had the ball game on pause while walking, so I'm watching the rest of it.

[JimInks]

Enjoyed three open face ham, cheddar cheese and double egg sandwiches and a giant golden delicious apple lunch. I'm smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a 1999 smooth brown medium bend Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baskerville with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite p-lip stem. Giving the 4AB Natural a day of rest. Gold Star Peruvian Macchu Picchu, neat, is my drink. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

About to light up my Savinelli 645KS bent apple Short Pipe with some Seattle Pipe Club - Mississippi River.

Given the milder temps, I decided to saddle up and have a mid-day ride with Titus.
Had a nice Privada Cigar Club stick with a hint of chocolate on the ride.

I'm not, I'm just running a coloring experiment on that one. If it turns out well I'll likely dissect it to examine how it colored.

Hmm...I'd love to hear a little more about the experiment and how your coloring without smoking.

About a third of a bowl left of year 2020 C&D Virginia Flake in a straight medium brown 1922-1937 Irish Free State era Peterson 222 bullcap with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

SPC Down Yonder is a Peterson. I didn’t care for this blend when I first tried it but it has improved with some age. Still, nothing to write home about for me. I’m wondering if I’m not partial to Brazilian leaf.
