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

[MisterBadger]

Im just a bit tired of having jars around while my cellar or tobacco I can buy is all tins. It might not seem much, but I had 12 to 18 different blends open. When my jars are empty ill keep a few for splitting 100 or 200 gram (Peter Heinrichs) tins.

- And there was I, castigating myself for having had a mere 8 blends open...

Enjoyed a big bowl of freshly made New England Clam Chowder by a good friend who is from Maine. There's no chance of getting a good bowl of that anywhere near me. Anyway, I cleaned a few pipes, and have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2020 Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a straight, smooth brown 1960s Lane era Charatan Special 38 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Going to have Sutliff Birds of a Feather Signature Series by Per Georg Jensen Eccentric in a Savinelli Punto Oro Gold Bent Billiard 601 while I do some typesetting. I love the Birdseye on this pipe.

TGIF! Enjoying some 2020 KBV Spaghetti Western in a Savinelli Estella 315 EX with black coffee on the side. Love the interplay between the Italian Kentucky, Perique, and Orientals here, with just enough Virginia to keep it all tied together. The nearly 5 yrs of age is evident, as the blend has mellowed significantly, with the Italian Kentucky a lot tamer than it was fresh. I may actually throw some toscano leaf in future bowls just to bring it back to the forefront!

Polished off the BPC yesterday, on to Blend 111.

I don't hate it, but I wouldn't buy it again. Kind of a musky old-wood taste, definitely least favorite so far. Reminds me of Haunted Bookshop actually (which I don't like at all), but better than that.
