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

Oliva Mauro Torp Second. These have to be a Serie V or Melanio, they're really good.

Last bowl from the 6 year old Jar of Hamborger Veermaster. I think I bought this in bulk from Estervals. Been some really good bowls, more rather mediocre. This last one is really good.

Enjoyed a wonderful salad, monk fish and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. After that, I smoked a bowl of year 2014 Esoterica Tilbury in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Been phone chatting most of the time.


Currently, I'm a third of the way through 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. It's still raining hard, and the ferals are inside. Earlier Tomato the Brave and Abner the Eager wanted out, and a couple of hours later, they both wanted back in to eat. I dried them off, and Abner is snoozin' behind m'lady's chair. Tomato wanted to go out twice, but when I opened the door, he heard hard rain, and ran to the kitchen so I wouldn't put him out each time. The silly fella ought to know by now that we don't want him out in the rain, but Tomato can be dense like a brick at times.

Brown no.4 in a Provenzano chimney. Really disappointed in this 8oz package. It tastes nothing like my last tin from 2021. More so like a generic SG rope.

About to give my new hot tub pipe a go. Horizons in a Nørding Shorty. Not worried about splashing this bad boy, tiny bowl should be just enough for that before bed relaxation...

Hal O the Wynd in a late 1800’s Loewe Egg. Love this pipe.

Sansepolcro in a Peterson Irish Harp Lovat.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking first production Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a straight smooth brown undated Gesandt Canadian Made in England with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was originally owned by Poul Schluter, who was the Prime Minister of Denmark from 1982-1993. Watching the Pirates-D-Backs game.

Finishing off the night with Nightcap in a Castello.

 

[Servant King]

Another day crammed full of ranch chores...another bowl to cap it all off, this time Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls in a Foyard Rhodesian. Both lettuce and spinach harvested this evening from the garden, will be enjoyed as thoroughly as this bowl was. 9/10

Bird report: House finch, California towhee, Mountain chickadee, California scrub-jay, American crow, White-breasted nuthatch, Mourning dove, Lesser goldfinch (rare!), California quail, Spotted towhee, and Hairy woodpecker.

Looking forward to NOT kicking my ass tomorrow with any chores beyond the bare minimum.

Went to a concert, letting my ears ring as I finish up this Peterson 313 with C&D Oriental Silk.

Busy day at work so I didn't have a chance to post earlier. But on the menu for my morning commute was a delightful bowl of KBV Burley Morning Pipe loaded in my Grande Morez and paired with a black coffee.



On the way back home I had a bowl of C&D Bayou Morning loaded in my Thayne 33 with a side of black tea.



Hope you all had a great Tuesday

Oh yeah . . . forgot to add in the above post, that's a beautiful pipe. Love the shape and wood. After all, that's what it's really all about, eh? And never heard of Quiet Nights . . . . need one.

Thank you Gord and amen, it’s all about a good smoke, at least for me. I thoroughly enjoy your posts, you are a man’s Renaissance Man.

Prince Albert in a Falcon. About time for bed.

 

[Steddy]

None taken! Thanks for the hilarious post . . . . we are all obviously a bit, uhhhhhh . . . . eccentric? Don't think we'd be here otherwise. Only speaking for myself, but I shall continue on. Et vous, l'autres?

PS: I'm planning a post on kinikinik when it comes out this summer. Apparently a staple of the native cultures in my area. See how it mixes with parsley or oregano, which I've not tried yet.)

Kinikinik you say, I’m not familiar and I must look this up.

Now smoking year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a black sandblast PSB medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 228/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Tomato the Brave was yipping at me and scratching at my chair because he wanted out again, so I obliged him. When I shut the door and looked through the window, he was staring at me like,"Do you know it's raining like crazy out here? Why'd you put me out?" A half hour later, it was time for his wet food. I called for him, and he ran like a lion was chasing him. He ate plenty, and wanted back out. I said, "Hey, dumbo! Don't you know that lions like to eat cats in the rain?" Tomato looked up at me and jumped in my chair, and he's by my side. Guess he figures that I don't have a recipe book for Tomato soup.
