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

[Mortar0341]

Aladino Corojo Rothschilds this morning with some good coffee. Weathers grey and rainy. Temps nice though. Everybody in my house woke up on wrong side of bed and got an attitude this morning, so I'm on the porch relaxing. Nobody got time for that on a Sunday morning.

One more before breakfast and then heading out to Golden Corral and onto the last excursion to Galveston Beach for this trip. Looking forward to the warm waters one more time.

For this round it shall be Sansepolcro in the Castello Collection Great Line KKKK.

I get what you mean, and this is a point that just comes down to personal taste. Castello is a little more classic -- in general -- with their shapes but they do have some fairly innovative shapes and finishes, too, that pop up every once in a while. Either way, examples of both makes in my collection have shown great internal engineering and both smoke like a dream.

Heading down 12 floors to the smoke spot to catch the sunrise today with a bowl of OJK Blue in an SMS. When i get home i'm going to try some Tampa cigar leaf in various ratios with this, being it is just the base burleys from OJK, and see if i can come up with something interesting to suggest to C&D: OJK Black, perhaps?

You’re absolutely right — the Italian school really offers a whole spectrum of character. From Castello’s classical precision to Ser Jacopo’s artistic eccentricity, it’s a beautiful demonstration of how form and soul can coexist in briar.
And that “OJK Black” experiment of yours sounds dangerously good — careful, you might accidentally invent a new C&D line!

About to enjoy some John Bull True English in a Neerup Classic 4 Dublin Sitter.

Coffee, cream/no sugar: Trader Joe's Colombia Anei small batch

Kind of muggy and getting warm -- I'm hoping it's short-lived.


Somehow Luma made an appearance in the background!

A welcome blowing rain has relocated me to the front porch. Amphora Burley Blend in this Savinelli Oscar Tiger.

 

[tmcg81]

Uhles Perfect Plug Burley in a Georg Jensen bent brandy. First time smoking this blend. So far, so good.

 

[newbroom]

Rattray's Red Lion in my Kaywoodie smooth 99b

 

[Thepipehunter]

Good morning gentlemen. Starting the day off with Wessex Burley Slice in a Savinelli Rusticated Bing’s Favorite and a cup of Folgers Colombian.

 

[PaulRVA]

D&R Windsail in a Castello Aristocratica Pot and the last of the Coffee ️ Balinese Pour Over from Ubud.

 

[Benedict Munsinger]

Took Mastro de Paja Roma for a walk in my Nording Compass. Once again, I’m reminded that aromatics just aren’t my thing. It smokes fine, even pleasant, but the topping really drowns out the natural tobacco flavor. Clear skies, clover underfoot, and my little princess tagging along.

 

[ashdigger]

Old Gowrie in a Pete 20s sized DeLuxe. The pipe was unsmoked. Was being the word of the day

 

[PipePint&Cross]

Enjoying the beautiful weather with some Carolina Red Flake with Perique in a Nuttens Bing.

 

[HeavyLeadBelly]

Smoking a flake if PS LNF in a cutty cob with a cup of coffee. Beautiful morning out.

 

[xrundog]

OJK in a Charatan’s Perfection 371 DC.

 

[Goblin_Walrus]

Enjoying another bowl of Mac Baren Plumcake in the Peterson rusticated 103. Stumpy approved!

 

[Speak Easy]

Exclusive in a Kaywoodie Saxon. Earlier I had some MB Stockton in a GBD squat bulldog.

‘25 CRFP in a 309 out in the yard with the dog.

Dottlejockey has already achieved awesome status by defiantly smoking at hospitals, if he can get C&D to make an OJK Black with Cigar leaf, he will become Legend. I think it's a terrific idea. Write C&D a letter ASAP.
