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

[Speak Easy]

Speak, those fence posts have got to be the best platform for pipe photos that exists. Every time I seen one of your pictures, I start singing that old Eagles song, "Desperado" to myself. ha.

Do you live on a farm passed down through your family or did you buy it?

Thank you, sir! Those old fence post and the backdrops make it pretty easy to grab a quick pic!

Not all posts you see are on my place. And no, about the only thing my dad left me (he passed when I was 22) was some debt collectors calling me because we shared the same name! I have worked and continue to work almost everyday for what I do have. I’ve been fortunate to acquire what I’ve got!

PS- Great song and band. This is my favorite song from The Eagles.

Now smoking and reviewing KBV Fuzzy’s Orinoco Pie in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a tapered gold and black swirl acrylic stem. Ismail made this meer for me as a token of friendship. Ice water and bergs is my drink. I got five KBV blends in today.

Sutllff 507-C in the Barontini 1/2 spigot bent billiard this morning. Orlik Golden Slices in the Erica System Second (XL Handmade) earlier this evening.

 

[JimInks]

I'll bet that you use those old meers for a lot of your reviews, Jim. That one has seen many a load of tobacco!

Meers are the best pipes for reviews. I can't smoke a clay pipe because I always taste the clay even if it has an acrylic stem.

Last smoke in the valley, headed up the hill-tomorrow I’ll be taking my vote for a long walk in the woods.
C&D Derringer in the Kildare 53.

Now beta testing KBV Fuzzy’s Pepper Jam beta in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem. Daisy the Feral Princess came in to eat and get attention. She went out after that. Norton the Nosey saw her, and wanted to eat as well. He ate a lot of wet food; almost as much as the bigger Tomato the Brave does. Norton has become a big eater and seems to be hungry a lot. I also fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. Tomato's wet food time comes at the bottom of the hour. I didn't see Harry the Hairy outside.

Oh man, that is a classic. No one could hit those notes like Randy Meisner did. Although Timothy B. Schmidt does a pretty good job with it.
It speaks volumes about you that you have worked and accomplished what you have. I have great respect for anyone who can do what you have done. "Well done thy good and faithful servant."

A beautiful, calm evening. MM Country Gentleman with a mix of Peretti Coffee Blend and Cigar Leaf (about 10%). (The cigar leaf is just random head clippings from various cigars.) I like it!

Been Jonesin' to smoke my new Castello 55 again. So, I loaded it with Royal Yacht and fired 'er up!! Blissful.....simply blissful!
Sparkling water on the side.



I'll swear, this thing is a handful. Feels as big as a baseball in my hand.

Bob, there's something about that military mount that really sets that pipe apart. Really nice!!

Also, sure sorry that you're still having problems with your spider bite. What a hassle. I thought off you a couple of weeks back as I turned over a stack of old boards and found a few of those Black widows. What a frightful looking spider it is.

Thanks! This pipe jumped off the screen calling my name and found its way to my mail box. Spider bites are no joke. That’s for sure. But, your description is accurate. It’s a hassle. It’s not a crises. Soldier on……

Peterson Pub Dublin and some 2021 Sutliff Christmas Spice.

I think this is a universal pick today . . . . so many comments on this stellar pipe! Today's Kewpie Doll, Bob. Yer on a roll!

I am honored sir!

 

[bobpnm]

Nice pipe! Is that an older piece with the small brass dot? If so, I had one just like it,though mine wasn't as nice a blast as yours.

Thanks! Yes, you are correct. Brass dot. I fell in love with it immediately! Great, and I mean GREAT smoker!

Now smoking year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Going to clean a few pipes. Fed all the ferals.

Vintage (1970s or 80s) Prince Albert in a friend-made custom lovat, and a No-Li IPA featuring a cigar-smoking 'squatch while my tea cools to a drinkable temp.

 

[bobpnm]

That’s an awesome 111

Thank you sir.

Looking at this Radice pipe, I’m now quite certain that my Luciano was hand-finished by the Radice family. This is actually confirmed by Luca di Piazza himself — especially regarding the series designed in collaboration with Greg Pease.

That’s cool, I had no idea!

Every aspect of that No-Li can is brilliant: the name, the color, the artwork, the cigar! Judging by it's cover, I may need to find some of that, try it out.
