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

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a too short snooze with Sleepy Suzy on my lap, but I'm awake and smoking year 2015 Mac Baren Virginia #1 in a straight smooth brown pre-1920s W.D.C. Bakelite bulldog with an electro silver band and tapered black vulcanite stem with an orific bit.

An aromatic that I picked up years ago at the local B&M and forgot the name of. Just trying to get rid of it now to free up a jar. In a Missouri Meerschaum Diamondback.

Picture is being wonky and won’t let me upload it like normal.

That is a very nice and unusual pipe, lovely thing.

Thanks! I do love some swanky Bakelite.

2:1 mix of Exclusive with Dark Fragrant, in the Imp Sitter. How is it after 4pm already!?

Robert Mc Conell Scottish Cake in one of my oldest, most beloved MM Corn Cob pipes, the trustworthy Cobbit Dwarf which smokes very well and has a style I especially like, what more can you ask?
A good week to all of you good people!

Style counts!

[BurleyVonPuffington]

BriarWorks belge and Granby Station aromatic apple-jack, and Eight State Burley in the Balandis XL devil Anse. And a note: We have our rules for a reason. I broke my own, and stuck my hand on the hot stove eye. Just like an old man wearing a tie with a shirt that doesn't match because it pleases him, I decided to smoke an aromatic in a Latakia pipe. UGH! Not just the taste, but the smell of the smoke, normally delectable, was awful. The ghosts of ghosting are real! Don't be a dummy like me.

I just ordered some Pu’erh tea this weekend based on all the times I’ve seen it mentioned in this thread. Looking forward to giving it a try.

Phiredog,
I hope you find it as pleasant as I do. Like tobacco, there is a lot of variety in the types and ages of Pu’erh. I have some less aged loose leaf, but my favorite is these aged pucks that you can break up and get 4-5 generous cups of tea.
I really like it with VaPer baccy.

Over the years as I have gravitated away from aromatics, I find myself adding a pinch of Latakia, and or Perique to some of my aromatic Baccy.
A nice MM Diamondback.
I need to smoke mine for March Meerschaum Madness.
