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

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and then smoked a bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger are sleeping on catnip socks.

Now smoking and still reviewing Legacy Collection: Brothers in Arms (Per Jensen) in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tapered dark tortoise shell colored acrylic stem. I have a good handle on describing the blend now. It's time to feed Sleepy Suzy, who's meowing by my feet. At least my feet aren't the problem here.

Nice hook up. How far south of Houston? I'll be landing in Houston on the 26th and heading to Galveston on the 28th or so.

Currently puffing (carefully) on a post-meal bowl of Puccini in a Castello. Love the flavor of this blend, but it'll sneak up on you if you get too careless.

Well, then you will be driving right by it. It is in Texas City (at least the original store is) which is right on Galveston Bay. Here is his website:

El Cubano Cigars League City

Tell Manny hello for me and that "Mark, in Tennessee" sent you and he will treat you right.

Enjoy...............

His other store is off 518 in old League City.

Passing the half way mark of this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a black rusticated full bend 1984 Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. I fed Daisy the Feral Princess outside since she didn't want to leave her chair. I'll bring her in later for wet food, and attention. Tomato the Brave ate plenty. Harry the Hairy nibbled a little. He's not a big eater except on occasion. Unfortunately, Harry decided to start trouble with Tomato and I had to put him out. Tomato's laying on the couch now. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. I took Molly Danger to the bed room before I let the ferals in. Watching the Nats-Yankees game, and am getting ready to read baseball box scores.

Beautiful night in TX.

Lane Ltd Andullo in an unbranded Meer. My last tin of Andullo. The closer I get to finishing it, the more I like it. And I'm pretty sure it'll remain "out of print." Oh well, it was my very first cigar leaf blend, so it's also the sentimentality that gets me.

Drink is Rupee India Pale Ale, which is fantastic stuff. Cheers!

Peterson Old Dublin in a Tonni Nielsen No. 3 cherrywood.

That is an absolutely gorgeous Cherrywood! Any idea how old it is? It looks like it's got a couple of years on it. (In a good way!) I'm not familiar with Tonni Nielson.

Did some low calorie snacking, and am at the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a late '80s, early 90s small bend medium brown smooth, unbranded Nording pot with a couple of small rusticated spots, an amber colored acrylic ferrule and tapered stem in the military mount style. Harry the Hairy was lying on the doormat, so I let him in. He's walking around bored, and in need of attention. I gave him some because he had such a sad look on his face. M'lady is snoozin' so he can't lay on her lap, and Sleepy Suzy is by my side so I can't have him on mine. The poor fella just wants some love. Wish we could find him a home, but we've tried with no success.

Thanks. I’ve had it for about four or five years. It’s still in good shape and smokes well. Tonni Nielsen is a Danish carver. I’ve read that he spends part of the year in Denmark and part of the year in the US. He married an American.

Wingfield Mixture in a pre-Cadogan Comoy's Sandblast Medium Billiard.

I had a fun time looking up pre-Cadogan and learning a little about pipe brand history. I was starting to wonder if you guys were just naming random and obscure historical events to date pipes, which would also be fun.
