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

[Hillcrest]

My doctor told me not to lift anything heavy until I see the neurosurgeon but not thinking I loaded the Pub pipe with PS400 Luxury Navy Flake. I'm smoking my sandblast pipes lately for some reason. I won't finish this tonight anyway and it will last well into tomorrow. Alternating between light clenching and holding the pipe ... I don't know if that helps.

Having a bowl of Dan Tobacco Mallard with Perique Flake in a Sav Porto Cervo with water.

Almost done with a pipe of Big N Burley in a Crown Billiard. A great end cap to another weekend of music. Get to do it all over again next weekend too. Cheers hope y'all had a good one too!

One of the last couple smokes of C&D Dawn in a Pete 313, filling up the feed room.

Port Guardian in a Peterson Derry 69. This about finishes the tin, maybe one small pipe full left. What to open next?

I picked this up a couple of years ago and never broke in to it. I figured I should give it a go now to see if Iike it, since it looks like it may be coming out again soon.

A quarter of the way through 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.

One last round at the smoke spot tonight with some Old Joe Blue in a Ser Jacopo L2 Coral Dot. Then i'm calling it an early night.

Had a friend over this afternoon, and had a delightful chat about precious metals/mining stocks over a bowl of pre-STD Mac Baren Navy Flake in my burley pipe, a Savinelli Porto Cervo (visualize that being said with an Italian accent, as opposed to coming from a honky like myself) 122 rusticated bent pot, with a glass of red wine. Naturally, it was during the course of this conversation that gold surpassed $3,900/oz., hitting a new record high (again). I may have to crack that tin of Ashton Gold Rush that I was supposed to do back at the 3k mark. 9/10

Bird report: California scrub-jay, House finch, White-crowned sparrow, Dark-eyed junco, California towhee, American crow, California quail, Mountain chickadee, Bushtit, White-breasted nuthatch, Northern flicker, Band-tailed pigeon, Oak titmouse, Spotted towhee, Steller's jay, and Cooper's hawk.

Back to the grind. Joy.

What is that bowl-on-bowl situation that’s going on here?? I am so curious.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2022 Solani 633 in a straight smooth brown Algerian briar post-WW2-mid 50s family era Barling’s Make Ye Olde Wood Straight Grain Made in England bulldog with a diamond shape shank and black ebonite stem. This pipe came from the estate of David Cuneo. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is on m'lady's lap. The ferals have been outside for a while.

Had some aged Royal Yacht earlier, a classic and one of my favorite aromatics.

MB Stockton in a GBD squat dog. I’ve been wrestling with rear shocks on a 94 Geo Tracker. I think they were original. I won. Barely.

7/18 CVP in a Howell.

HU Balkan Passion in a Viprati One Clover half-bent pot.

Wow! it has turned into a Gorgeous Afternoon! 70F in the shade on the porch, where I am finishing a tin of The Aperitif in a Mastro de Paja 3AL Egg. I know a dead tin when I see one. This baccy tin has ceased to be. It is bereft of baccy. The contents have gone to meet their maker. It is an ex-baccy tin.

Beautiful pipe, though . . . . . don't remember you posting that one before.

Keep looking at this pipe, and have to give you my comeback Kewpie!

This is my favourite, and has been for some time, of your meers. everything works here - not overly ornate, taking great color, and the traditional (or at least very common) yellow stems on meers is very tastefully muted and blends in with the overall flow of the whole design. Beautiful!

Another Kewpie here! Love this pipe. Got everything I like in a bent, including a military mount, great grain, and a smallish bowl. A winner in my books for sure!

Bet it's a great smoker, too!
