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

[JimInks]

Now smoking Wilke Little Round Top in an undated straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Sterling bulldog 150 with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. Just brought Daisy the Feral Princess in to eat. Tomato the Brave wasn't happy with the wet food, and wanted out. Guess we get a low rating from him today. Daisy's eating it, though.

Pipe came yesterday and the inaugural smoke is a bowl of Marlin Flake today in the new Vauen Oregon. I’ve included a couple photos from last night too; the acrylic design is great.

Well, Scopes, you had quite a trip in Europe. Beautiful photos and scenes.
Thanks for taking us all along for the ride................

Thank you. It probably was a bit too much. There was very little that was new to me, but I was able to go deep into the sights, which is what I was aiming for. And along the way, I checked off some boxes.

Earlier this evening I tried the Windsail silver in the Vauen bent egg doing as @JimInks suggested and packing fairly tight and slow sipping. I can see why ,,, if puffed to fast it gets extremely hot and the top coating is a tad acidic but ... it was fairly plain and tasty as a cheap alternative to 507-c for now. It ticked enough check boxes to satisfy so I'm pleased with the purchase.

Later, I had the PS 402 Luxury Twist Flake and WoW !!! Simply the best tasting smoke I've had ... more like desert. It tasted like a creamy malted, molasses date nut bread. I kept thinking I need a cold glass of milk with this. I read @JimInks review and now realize that was a creamy caramel flavor with bread, hay and earth tones but to me it was just tasty. This may be my new favorite tobacco. Interestingly both made me cough slightly. I found them both strong and I think it was the topping. I might try drying some out to see if it alters that result.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I just finished smoking year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Couldn't post before now because as soon as I finished dinner and lit my smoke, Daisy the Feral Princess jumped on my lap. I have notice that she's been rather demanding of my time lately, especially if she's inside when I go to bed. She's a precious sweetie.

Now smoking year 2020 Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem.

Now smoking year 2014 Esoterica Tilbury in a three quarter bend 1983 Jobey Danski 2 straight grain freehand rough top sitter with an pearl amber acrylic stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a while though it got heavy usage in the 1980s and early 90s. Daisy the Feral Princess wanted out, and Tomato the Brave wanted in. He's by my feet. Harry the Hairy is snoozin' by the entertainment center. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is snoozin' next to m'lady.
