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

[dottlejockey]

A couple pipes this morning, relaxing and considering my day's tasks until the shocking remembrance of a dentist appointment got me up and moving. Back to the smoking lounge after the dentist (and breakfast), ready to fire up a bowl of VA Squire in a Brian Doran to walk the dog and then back to the regular scheduled program...

Lovely pipe - and that's a Martini-Henry Mk3 .45, if I don't mistake?

Thank ya, it sure is! One of these days I’ll stop being lazy and build some loads for it.

Don't think I've seen this one before . . . maybe from a different angle. Quite striking indeed!

That pipe - been meaning to ask you what it's made of. Protected meer, porcelain? . . . kind of a puzzle. Very attractive, whatever it is. Also, I notice you're smoking Autumn Evening. I find it too sweet and gooey BUT, Ive combined it with a tobacco a friend brought me from Germany, called "Sunday Morning, (that's even worse), BUT mixed half and half with Autumn Evening (two parts, one of each) with 3 parts of Smokers' Prided Classic tobacco, and let it mellow altogether for two weeks, it makes one of the nicest aromatics I've ever smoked. Go figure.

Have you any experience with Sunday Morning? I was given a 4 ounce tin, about half of it left.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Coffee from a freshly opened bag of Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink. Time to clean a few pipes.

My own selfmade cigar blend, in a pipe from George Leoussis, made as annual pipe of the year 2024, for the members of the Greek pipe club. Same with the tamper, from 2019, each member's name is engraved on it.
And as for the weather, exactly as @JOHN72 describes a few posts above... meny men were wearing just t-shirts today! I don't want to think about what will happen in summer...
Good luck good people!
