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

[Lucro]

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I’m glad to be back and glad to have a chance to enjoy my pipes and tobacco again. Starting my day off with Boswell’s cupcake in my Boswell pipe while I sip my coffee.

The wife and my youngest son are snowed in at my parents in Nebraska, just me and the dogs today, out here on the lonesome high plains. Watching the snow come down and enjoying a bowl of Kraken Bar in a no name Danish Freehand Estate.

Out for a stroll and a bowl. St. James Flake in a Peterson 309 PPN 24 POY.

Lunch of bratwurst and bubble-and-squeak made with sauerkraut, shortly to be followed by two steps into the unknown: Sam Gawith's Black XX Twist in a new briar-stemmed Canadian morta by Chris Askwith. And black coffee.

Correction: pipe is round-shanked, not oval, so it's a Liverpool.

Your post required me to google "bubble-and-squeak " which I did and I hope your lunch was enjoyable and your smoke in your new pipe !

Both were excellent, thank you. Mrs Badger makes a mean B&S, and the Liverpool morta was a really cool smoke. As for the SG Black XX Twist, I'm about to review it

Stonehenge in my new Oliphant pipe. Jesse does great work!

 

[Speak Easy]

GLP Regents Flake. Also a gift from my PMSS. Another great Pease blend. Sorry for the crappy pics today. It’s 20 and the wind is a steady 35-40mph. I’ve left the truck but not with a pipe in hand!

And how did the woodcock hunting trip go, a few birds or a beautiful outing with your best friend ? When I bird hunted I had an area that had a favorite downed tree that I would get to where I would sit and smoke a pipe. Always one of the highlights of my trips. Birds or not I never had a bad day afield. Hope yours are similar and thanks for the photos.

Nah-pretty sure they’re in their wintering grounds now. Changing up the game plan next weekend. Smoking some 2017 LBF in the same 4k old Antiquari
