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

[Choatecav]

I'm putting new tires on the farm ATV and I spent today doing a lot of power sanding on the wheels, which I'm gonna paint. No sense in putting on new shoes if the socks look shabby!

I had a delicious bowl of C & D Sansepulcro '25 in one of my cobs. Was an excellent smoke.
To drink, giving a tip o' the hat to @PaulRVA, I had a Diet Coke......

Sun is out today; armrest in my car is too hot to rest my arm on. Not a bad day to be smoking ES Evening Flake though! Vauen Mokka is dissipating the heat well.

This is an interesting pipe, I have to ask where did you find it as I’m not familiar with the maker?

I bought the pipe at the NASPC show in Columbus from the table of Kevin Brackett of Tobacco Pipe Exporters, Inc. Hence, the pipe is stamped “TPE.”

Had a light snack, and am smoking KBV Jupiter Slices 7.1 in a post-1938 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 bulldog with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Nigel Bruce smoked this model in two Sherlock Holmes movies. Please consider asking Shane Ireland at Smoking Pipes and Peterson to bring the pipe back into production. This should get me to dinner time. Going to listen to the Braves-Mets game on the XM since the TV broadcast is on Apple+.

Cool looking pipe, Warren. I don't recall seeing it. Is it a new acquisition??

Wessex Gold Brick in the EXCELSIOR!!!
This tobacco is slowly becoming my favorite Virginia. I keep reaching for that little brick.
Ive smoked through about 1/2 of the 3.5 ounce brick, with another brick jarred. With my luck it will soon be discontinued.

I have this problem with almost every pipe I own. One functioning eye via the stroke method about 15 years ago. No depth perception . . . all my clear pipes are thus injured . . . . buy rusticated whenever possible in more expensive pipes. Thanks for the sympathetic post!

I've also found cheap pipes the best answer . . . and some of them smoke and look great!

I’ve got quite a few cheap pipes that could fit the bill. I took to this particular pipe because of its smoking mechanics. Therefore it accompanied me on a myriad of situations. I was very disappointed the first time it hit the floor. It is too nice of a pipe to be abused! As time and nicks accrued I grew more content.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, haddock and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the half way mark of this bowl of year 2012 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DR 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
