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

[Scottmi]

McConnell 5 year matured Virginia In the SMS 6 panel bent lattice meer. A year plus in the jar I think has really improved this blend!

 

[Chasing Embers]

A blend of Yenidje, Samsun, Red Virginias, and Perique infused with mango essence that I call Mihrimah in a pipe gifted to me from the guys at IMP last year for my 50th birthday.

Packing another bowl of Sun Bear this this time in my Orlik Bent Billiard

 

[Speak Easy]

That is, indeed, one of the prettiest meers I've ever seen. Elegant and restrained, without being gauche in the least.

I appreciate it! It tends to produce some of the best smokes as well! Hope your day is a good one, sir!

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2021 KBV Your Welcome in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) Canadian Club 230 eight paneled billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This will get me to dinner time.

It’s been 6 days since my last pipe due to FLU and the past couple days I have been sorta craving the vanilla topping that only Mac Baren can deliver and boy howdy is it delivering! Also it just smells like pipe tobacco 101. March meerschaum madness shall now continue unabated.

I’m enjoying this exploration of latakias. Penzance in my sapphire set bulldog. Ice water amd trying to find the last four episodes of Yellowstone, where ever they hid them.

First smoke of Uhle's Blend 300 in a new MM Dagner J Bird poker.

Getting ready to watch UFC 313, Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev, which we were unable to watch live yesterday—there was a party we had to attend in Brooklyn—Lock Yard, the bar where Susan and I met in August of 2017 is closing today. Last night was the big farewell party. Susan and I had talked about having our wedding there if we ever decided to make things official. That was now an impossibility. News of their closing only became known a couple days ago. We got there about 4:30 pm. A little after 9:30 pm, I made a toast to the bar, our friends, and talked about a health scare I had last year that reminded me of the importance of the people in your life, and followed things up with the next best thing given the circumstances:

Going to have Sutliff 175th Anniversary The Old Boss in an unbranded French Bulldog Magnum (stamped Racine de Bruyère Marque Déposée), with a horn stem with bone tenon and orific bit, circa late 19th–early 20th Century.

Congrats man! That was the next best thing to getting married there!

Old Toby in a 2013 Peterson Pipe Of The Year. This pipe was an estate purchase. Back in 2013 I couldn't afford a Pipe Of The Year!

After dinner bowl of light chocolatey goodness in a Carlo Scotti era Castello Sea Rock G.

 

[Pipesandbourbon]

Pease Abingdon in a Boswell poker. Such a nice blend. One of my favorite English blends!

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the first third of this bowl of year 2019 Ascanian No. 1 in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) The Exmoor Pipe 283 chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Finished off a tin of '16 Union Square, now on to Haunted Bookshop

 

[abecox]

There are some who would say I was a fool for staying up late to smoke a pipe with the time change and you'd be right.

Anyhow it's the end of a tin of H&H Black House in a Peterson bulldog. Great stuff gonna miss it. Lucky I have two more cellared away but I think I'm gonna try a different Latakia blend next.
