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

[JoeW]

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! After working like a dog for the past few weeks to get yard work and house work done before snow season hit, I'm enjoying a nice cigar which I've been saving for today. Thankfully, yesterday's blizzard did not knock out our power, and we were able to enjoy a nice warm dinner in a nice warm house. I hope that you all have been able to enjoy the day too.

Just finished the Pete House pipe of PS Luxury Navy Flake that I started at noon.(5 Hours later) I almost made it to the very bottom but dumped some dottle. It took a few minutes to get used to the condenser. It was convenient because when it gurgled loudly I pulled the stem and dumped the condensation and went back to smoking. Very convenient.

Almost a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a sandblasted medium bend 1950s Reuben era Charatan Deluxe 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. One of the very few blends I didn't quite stock enough of. Going to feed the ferals now.

Hah ! I'm now proud to always be behind the times !!!

Its older than that. The recipe is my german grandmother's from her mother and so on back to the farm; those ancestors were brewers, bakers and butchers way back then. Emigrated here around 1870. Two tips: never add salt to turnips unless you want to enhance the bitterness; and turnips don't raise blood sugar like potatoes or sweet potatoes so perfect for diabetics. Have to go warm the ham and red cabbage and boiled onions now !

Send me a link to that article when you have time ... no rush. Enjoy your Thanksgiving !!!

Ha, I get it. The article caught my eye because I love all of the "old ways" and I'm often accused of having been born in the wrong century.

We're not born in the wrong century ... we just like things that work simply without an "APP" ...

Had a grand day with my son coming in and spending time with him.

After feeding, I found a pipe that I had forgotten that I even had. It is a Peterson's Galway #417 Dublin with the fishtail mouthpiece. Had some HU Edward G in it.

After I came inside I did a bit of searching on this pipe and it was very likely made in the 1950's and it said that the Galway version of this model is "Considered one of Peterson's rarer designs." So, I may have to do a little more digging on it.

I hardly ever drink alcohol anymore but the family had some world class central California wines and a few glasses mixed with a food coma and I had a spontaneous couch nap in front of the Dal v KC game. Home now for a pipe before bed proper.
