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

[JimInks]

Hopefully, my last smoke of the day will be year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to check on the ferals soon.


Norton the Nosey was on my lap for a while. He got up when I did to refill my water glass. Molly Danger was staring at Norton the Nosey when he followed me to the kitchen. When I came back to the den, she looked at me as if to say, “And you call me ‘nosey’?”

A very brightly moonlit night (looks full), with a Punch Knuckle Buster Habano. First time trying, and it's very nice.

Ginger/Perilla herbal tea.

CPT:
This is the FIRST meer I've ever seen with a plateau top (!!!). Absolutely AWESOME (!!!). Hello Stanwell?
Please, immediately send it to me so I can place it above the fireplace just to admire every night.

Sandblast, thanks so much for the kind comment. IMP does make meers with plateau rims; here's another IMP of mine that I haven't posted yet. The plateau adds to the appearance in my opinion.

Not 100% yet, but enjoying some HH Burley Flake in an MM Washington anyway.

Hope you bounce back quickly. Those things are a hassle.

It probably holds half a two-ounce can.

Enjoying an early morning bowl of GH BCF in a Tsuge Bent Dublin with Bamboo and a hot cup of coffee.

Thank you and you’re welcome! Hope you have a good one!

Thanks!

Savinelli Tortuga 106 packed with Haunted Bookshop, drinking a good black coffee this morning, sitting on the porch, weathers cool and crispy, feels good. Hanging out with this creature this morning.
My boy tried to get close to him yesterday but when he got close enough he realized this bird was taller than him, and he turned around and ran back lol.

I've passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

We decided on a name for the skinny fella. Considering the fact that he was found in a sewer and is curious about everything, Honeymooners fans will understand why his name is Norton the Nosey.

Great name. Love it.

Now smoking 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 Jamaican Estate Reserve, neat, is my drink. I took a shower after lunch, and heard the skinny fella crying and crying and crying for me. After a few minutes of that, I saw his little head peek through the shower curtain as he called to me. He looked around, got out of the shower and looked back in two more times. Then, he decided to get in, got wet, looked up at me with a "You really like all this water?" look, and got out. I dried both of us off after I finished showering.

This is classic black cat.

It probably holds half a two-ounce can.

It’s Chamber Depth is 1.54 and Diameter.090 or 39mm x 23mm Length 4.75 or 120.4mm so it’s a stout pipe with these dimensions. The chamber diameter really brings out the flavors though.
Yes you can empty a tin fairly quickly if you try

Tim, I have never seen one of those. If it is made by Punch, I am betting it is a good stick. Will have to pick one up.

Paul,
Your picts of your Castellos have really been ratcheting my desires up to get one. I have been looking at some in the 55 shape. I love the size and that "Jay Leno chin." ha.

Having an afternoon smoke. HU Ed G in a Ser Jacopo

Some HU White Horses in a no name Eagle claw. Washing it down with a Yuengling red label. View attachment 428628

Beautiful pipe man. Beautiful scenery. You got yourself a little Oasis out there. I bet it's calm and quiet out there, bet you can see all the stars at night. I grew up in Southern Indiana, I've lived in cities ever since, I miss the country. The pictures you post

I’m probably having the better time. KC just puts up with me rooting around in his “cellar” and pulling stuff up! No honestly it’s a real blessing meeting KC. We have many things in common besides pipes and cigars

That's awesome man, brothers of briar, I love it.

Grab you one man !
@VDL_Piper kinda prodded me into trying them based on a Q&A I had with him on them a few years back. I’m glad I listened to him as literally every single one I’ve gotten has been above reproach.
The 55’s have a love hate thing going and probably one of the most loved or most hated shapes Extent.
I have one that’s a 4K with an Army Mount that smokes just heavenly. They draft well, have great chamber dimensions and are nice sitters too !
I look forward to seeing you with one!
