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

[HeavyLeadBelly]

This morning I had a bowl of C&D Poplar Camp in a Rattrays Goblin with coffee. Now I’m in an all staff meeting and I wish my boss would take some speaking classes to spice things up a bit. I like him but he’s kind of a drone wizard, casting sleep spells on all of us.

Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Geppeto Eximia.

Did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Fed all the ferals. Abner the Eager was hiding under my car, and when I came up the driveway after my last lap, I picked him up, and brought the little fella in to eat. He's near my feet now.

HU Makhuwa in a Radice 55
and Diet Coke on the side.

 

[krizzose]

Sillem’s Musketeer in a Savinelli Canadian. For those who care, this is an aromatic that will dry out nicely, and the cube cut burley provides some backbone.

JACKPOT!!!

FOUR ACES!!!

Look at this unbelievably super nice righteous Aged Algerian George H Yale full bent I paid $20 and $6.35 shipping and taxes to the dad blasted gubbermint.

This is all handmade. It’s in nearly new condition. Look at that grain!

Smoke those pipes, boys.

Some other feller will after you’ve gone to your reward.






I’m smoking Granger in my top shelf hand made George H Yale, watching the ancient, oil cured, unvarnished and unpainted Algerian briar sweat as it breaks in.

Yale must have ordered a light red stain (which I removed) to catch a customer.

Sutliff 310 Modern English in the Pete 221 Ashford. Working on a big upgrade to the raised beds...

Well this MB Rustica is breaking the spells of the Drone Wizard. In a Tsuge with water.

GH&Co BFA in a cob. I had a meh bowl of this yesterday, not very sweet and seemingly dominated by the burley. My thought was, good thing I didn’t back up the truck on this stuff. But today’s is a little more sweet and floral. I think it’s another one of those cases where you have to smoke the same thing in the same pipe a few times in a row before it all truly comes through.

Deluxe Crumb Cut in this Jirsa. Iced coffee. Weather man says big front approaching. We aren’t in drought but we are very dry. A couple of rainy days will be a good thing.

While waiting for a late lunch, I enjoyed a regular size bowl of Raisin Bran with extra raisins, a bunch of unsalted peanuts and a golden delicious apple. I followed that up with four half pound cheeseburgers. I'm near the last quarter of this bowl of 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. Gold Star 50th, neat, is my drink.
