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

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2014 FVF in a straight smooth brown year 1923 Dunhill A billiard 60 patent March 9.15 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Everything about this pipe is what I see when I close my eyes and picture a beautiful and classic pipe. Absolutely gorgeous.

The control panel in my last pic is for this thing. Fun to do in rush hour traffic in the setting sun…but better than a shovel and broom for sure!

Got back from that call then noticed one of the yard gates’ autocloser isn’t working, so now I’m having some OJKB in a Kaywoodie 8751S waiting on the gate guy.

What a great way to kill some

Constellation in a Craig Cooper Canadian. Well that's a lot of C's.

Hamborger Veermaster topped off with Haunted Bookshop in a large Stanwell Freehand. View attachment 441953

Just bought some of this blend earlier, how do you like it??

Enjoying some Old Home Place from the CS in a MM cob.. I really enjoy this tobacco and wish that they hadn't stopped making it.

Too cold and windy outside for this Texan. So I put a box fan under the garage door. Enjoying GLP Maltese Falcon in a Neerup Volcano. My new favorite pipe and English blend.

 

[OzPiper]

A couple of Polonius ??Polonii today
Top: Gert Holbek.
Bottom: Tom Eltang
Holbeks were entirely hand carved, so there are small variations in size and shape


1st the Eltang with a bowl of chopped up GLP Union Square

Half way through this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. The ferals came in to get warm and eat, and except for our Imperial Feral Princess, they went out. Daisy is near my feet.

Thanks. I agree with you. I know my late friend David loved that pipe. I think of him when I smoke it and other ones that I got from his sister after he passed away. He had a great eye for quality.

Celebrating the birth of my son a few days late. PA in a cob.

Next is the small Gert Holbek Polonius

As @MontyTX said, it got quite cold in Texas. Not as cold as for some of you I'm sure, I mean we're still in the 30s, but cold enough! I'm sitting outside anyhow, but going for something quick. Also wanted to test out my 2nd homemade "easygar." (@infectedpsyche I'm still experimenting with DIYs. BTW, this time I'm really getting that peppery bite on the retro. I like it!)

1/2 of a Toscano Antico in a modified, old, and otherwise unused, meer stem.

Harney & Sons Dark Tibet black tea. The deep flavor complements the Toscano nicely.
(@CPT I'm really enjoying this Dark Tibet!)

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am half way through this bowl of Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2024) in a black straight, grain etched family era post WW2 Four Dot Sasieni “Appleby” apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Daisy the Feral Princess wasn't thrilled by the wet food that I put down, so I tried something else. For three bites, it was ambrosia. After that, it was foul, and she followed me to the den. Daisy was partly right. It was chicken.

I don’t usually remember to pick something for Meerschaum Monday, but, today, I did. Going to have Cornell & Diehl Star of the East Flake in a Pipes Depot Squat Rhodesian Meerschaum.

Of all the bird-brained jokes that I almost didn't catch -- I could kill two of 'em with one stone.

The worst part about it was that it really happened.

Now smoking year 2001 Wessex Campaign Dark Flake in a slight bent smooth brown family era Old England (Sasieni second) bulldog 785 with a diamond shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Bob Costas chatting with Jim Bouton.

Did a little low calorie snacking, and am smoking year 2020 D&R VIP in a brown medium bend 1980 Peterson’s sterling silver spigot 314 with a black vulcanite saddle fish tail stem hallmarked at 1979. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Fed everybody except for Tomato the Brave. I'll check again to see if he wants to come in to eat his wet food.
