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

[JimInks]

Did a set of walking reps under chilly, cloudy skies, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Tomato the Brave was in play mode, and kept jumping on me every time I got near the house. He followed me inside to eat some more. Right now, food sounds like a good idea.

Good morning all I'm smoking DNR's in a Castello #33 Pi to shake off some cobwebs from some misadventure last night at our local music spot/bar/restaurant. We were lucky to have Troy Casar Daly playing so we went along and had a great night with locals and friends, lots of laughs and story telling going on. Here is one of his songs.

A third of a bowl left of year 2013 Capstan Gold Flake in a straight black 1932 Dunhill R double patent shell pot with a vernon tenon and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Had a nice long chat with a good friend. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Just checked the brisket on the smoker- looking good!
Now, time for some ES 4th Gen, Evening Flake in 2022 JM Boswell Canadian. A mug of 50/50 homemad kombucha and black ice tea.

@Benedict Munsinger The "River of Gold" mini-doc was very interesting. Pretty amazing, the massive machinery utilized to automate the whole process. I liked the “smoking machine” that tested and analyzed the cigarettes’ combustion. The whole chemistry lab milieu was quite entertaining, as well. Great background music. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you liked it — yes, the film is really fascinating, especially the lab scenes, and the music fits perfectly.

Now smoking year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Daisy the Feral Princess wanted to come back in, and so did Harry the Hairy, who came running to the house from the back yard. Daisy changed her mind and waited for Harry to jump on the deck. When he did, Daisy took a swipe at him, and Harry ran to the other side of the deck while Daisy just stared at him. Tomato the Brave went out, and watched. I'm sure that he enjoyed all of that. I guess it was more important for Daisy to show Harry who the boss is rather than come in to eat and snooze.

Oh man! GREAT pipe. Especially as I'm preparing for a few days of piscatorial adventure - it's that time in the north. Aspens and birches are shedding - that means the trout, whitefish and grayling are getting ready for Gord's #14-18 subsurface nymphs.

So distinctive, novel and appropriate, it's Kewpie Time!
