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

What an incredible photo! And definitely a unique pipe, as well.

For self-portraits, burst mode on the camera is your friend.

Mark, been meaning to tell you, killer meer you picked up there. Gorgeous dark red, marbled stem. Shape and rustication remind me of your Falcon chimney. Seems perhaps you have an aesthetic bent ...

Why thank you, Tim. You certainly have a good eye for detail and a good memory. I'll bet you are a "mean" poker player.....

Next up was a bowl of HH Bold Kentucky loaded in my Savinelli Roma and paired with a sample of Kringle Krush tea I received from Adagio. Not really my cup of tea.. but I appreciate the sentiment

Enjoying 78F south Texas weather with the last of my jar of fresh PS52 in a cob.

My shopping cart on SP is growing by the hour today

Hey @MontyTX beautiful roses. I'm just curious if you're by the coast down there. Because up here in Ft Worth I think it hit 86 or 87 this afternoon. It's been crazy heat!

I hear you on the SP cart. I almost can't even look at the site without finding something else "interesting." Lol

PS Luxury Navy Flake in the Vauen Olaf bent egg with 9mm filter while getting the snowblower ready for later (after I gassed it up!). Nat'l Wether Svc is now saying 7-11 inches of snow tonight. Local TV says 6-8+ but they are always off. NWS is usually accurate to within 15 minutes of start stop times. Deciding what pipe and tobacco to have during the actual clean up. Maybe PS LTF in ... ??? ...

Stay warm tonight

Its been snowing for an hour and a half and we have 3-4 inches of snow. Its supposed to go to 3 am now instead of midnight. Assuming an inch every half hour will be 15 inches. They're saying 7-11 so I am guessing we will reach or exceed 11 inches unless its fast moving. I will probably go out later and start clearing rather than wait until the end. I'd rather do it twice then try to do it all at once. I'm loading up the Barontini 1/2 spigot bent billiard with some PS Luxury Twist Flake - that will be a good snow pipe.

You must be in west/southwest Connecticut where the totals are supposed to be a bit higher. 5-8 in Central Connecticut, at least that's the forecast I've seen.

Back to the chores now that all of the celebrating is over..... Moved a lot of brush that I cut last week in the back pasture.

First smoke in a gift to myself..... some HU Director's Cut in a Savinelli Punta Oro #122 pot with Army mount stem. Sparkling water on the side.

Beautiful pipe! I have an older Punto Oro 111KS with silver army mount. It’s a grand smoker! Enjoy!

Beautiful Pete. Im a Peterson guy myself but Savineli rusticated pipes are very well done.
