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

[BurleyVonPuffington]

Had another bowl of potpourri, which doesn't sound cool enough. Henceforth, I shall call it my Motley Brew. Tonight's blend included Latakia, Kentucky Dark Fired Burley, Flue Cured (regular) Burley, Light Virginias, Dark Virginias, Perique, Turkish, Light Cavendish, Dark Cavendish, Black Cavendish, and some vanilla and cherry flavoring. Even if Virginias and all the Cavendish just count as two, that's 7 tobaccos. Folks...it wasn't bad. Tonight's victim was a seldom smoked Peterson Sherlock Holmes Lestrade, whose silver needs cleaning. Don't judge me. What wasn't great was our smoking conditions...

And a better look at the pipe...

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just fed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave.

First off, the Eagles are the rematch Kings, straight Rocky style. Smoking C&D Oak Alley from 2014 in an IMP Meer, absolutely fantastic.

Finishing off a tin of C&D Anthology 2023 in a Savinelli Punto Oro Gold 101 and Diet Coke on the side.

How does it smoke? I’ve been curious about these contraptions.

Start the week with a Falcon bowl - in it a selfmade cigar mix, based on rejected Tuscany cigar ends, sold as "Cimette di Toscani", gifted to me by @karam. Strong and spicy!
Happy week to all of you good people!

 

[Ted Vig]

C&D Appalachian Trail #2 White Lightning in a Bari. I've been smoking a fair amount of this lately. I think the tin is half empty after last week. I switch it up a lot, so that's saying something.

 

[JimInks]

A third of a bowl left of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Morning bowl of Barens Golden Extras in an Ashton XX Pebble Grain long canadian 2020

 

[The Clay King]

@The Clay King the only clay i've put in service so far. i've dropped a briar a time or two and thankfully landed bowl down not stem down. If I only smoked a clay I'm sure I'd be a half-dozen in by now for sure! As a smoking tool, dollar per puff, totally under-rated!

@Scottmi I got into clays by seeing historical re-enactors smoking them. I bought my first in 2018 from Chesterfield flea market. I've lost count of how many clays I've broken

 

[JimInks]

Did a bit of low calorie snacking, and have passed the half way mark of this bowl of year 2018 D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Finished work, and it's time to relax.

Sutliff Match Revelation in a half bent MasterCraft DeLuxe

 

[hoipolloiglasgow]

Peretti’s Omega. Sometimes I favor this one to Royal. The Orientals in their blends are better than anything else that is new on the market.

 

[JimInks]

Near the half way mark of 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. Tomato the Brave and Sleepy Suzy have changed places on my lap twice. I was going to read, but Suzy sat on my book, and demanded some attention.

 

[Sigmund]

A bowl of PsychoAnalysis in a Damiano Rovera with morning coffee

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of year 2020 Uhle’s Blend 44 in a 1922-38 Made in Ireland Peterson Dublin 3 straight smooth dark brown bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. I'll end the day with this smoke.
