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

Taking a day off from pipe smoking as bad as I wanted a bowl of Nightcap it’s cigar time putting flame to a La Gloria Cubana maduro serie R

Damn, I snapped the first picture accidentally, and captured the first draw on D&Rs Two Timer in my banded Savinelli Dry.

If I were setting next to me, I’d casually get up and move to the other side of the room.

So, gotta ask. 8/10 on the Drew Estate blend? Or on washing the horse? Inquiring equestrians wanna know.

Fair question! 8/10 on the blend, 10/10 on the horse washing. Any time I stay clean and dry when he shakes excess water off is 10/10. Oh, and not dropping my pipe, that's a factor too.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2008 Astley’s No. 109 Medium Flake in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LB Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.


Then, I smoked a bowl of year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a smooth straight brown 1950 Dunhill 48 bulldog group 4 root briar with a black vulcanite fish tail saddle stem.


Currently, I am near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2021 first production Watch City Simply Orange Virginia in a black sandblast medium bend Peterson POTY 4AB No. 182/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.

No pics today.
I hung out at my local shop for most of the afternoon.
I had 2 bowls of HH Old Dark Fired, 1 bowl of Peterson Irish Flake, and 1 bowl of F&T Cut Blended Plug.

For some godforsaken reason I feel myself entirely compelled to go smoke some year-old L.J. Peretti’s 150th Anniversary Flake out in the 10°F, 27 MPH gusting weather. And yes, I know how lucky I am that my Id picked such a totally easy-burning blend that is definitely and completely real fucking gentle on the tongue when smoked quickly.
Wish me luck!

Me made bent billiard with the last of my Peter Stockkeybye Luxury Bull’s Eye
And yes, the mortise/shank is double drilled. Once for the airway and also the shank to line up properly with the body of the stummel itself. That part is only drilled deep enough to accept the tenon.

Revisiting Brown Twist (sliced) in a 7409 Kaywoodie Thorn.
I dried it for 3hrs last night, will probably dump it out for another hour tonight.

MM $5 bent stem, nearly burned out cob and MM Missouri Pride VaBur. Gonna see what goes first, the pipe or the pouch.

Just now finished the virgin smoke of this Mastro de Paja model Classica straight, octagonal panel billiard with square shank and quasi-military mount, with C&D Small Batch Eight State Burley cellared from May 6, 2021. And yes, for those with sharp eyes, it was indeed unsmoked, but as with almost all light stained pipes on first smoke, we have already have the dreaded, slight rim darkening. But we got 'em to smoke, right?

May all your tests come out fine *and* an explanatory, non-intervention diagnosis be forthcoming.

Thanks mate!
(Un)fortunately everything came out great…more tests to come.
