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

[JimInks]

Near the last quarter of this bowl of 2023 KBV Verge Engine Santa Drive in a 1978 Peterson Deluxe 20S medium bend smooth dark brown billiard with a silver cap military mount black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. Watched one of the 1970s Dean Martin Roasts. There were some funny moments, but it's not as good as I thought they were in that time period.

The wife and I are both off tomorrow so while she's watching her shows I headed to the garage to enjoy a bowl of KBV Acadian Flek loaded in my Stanwell POTY 2024 with a Warsteiner Oktoberfest.



Afterwards, I had a bowl of Sutliff Maple Shadows mixed with a bit of C&D Autumn Evening in my Altinay Freehand Meer.

Hope you all have a great evening!

Now smoking year 2015 Mac Baren Modern Virginia in a medium bend, smooth dark brown 1950s Peterson 999 Shamrock chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. All the ferals in and eating, but I'll have to watch them.

(A brief moment of poetry)
An early walk on a cold October morning. The streets are half asleep, and the air carries that faint edge of frost that hints at the coming winter. With me — a Nording Compass, filled with Stanislaw Autumn Scottish Flake. Not a grand or ambitious blend, but an honest one. The Virginia here holds a muted warmth — like a sliver of sunlight caught in fallen leaves, a quiet comfort against the chill.

Well prosed @Benedict Munsinger . I'm vicariously enjoying your chilly weather , since it's so warm here in Texas. And I can see your princess clearly likes it, too. Every time I see your beautiful Nording Compass, I feel like handcrafting my own version, with a similar design. I want to make another DIY pipe, but a bit nicer (and larger) than the little hardwood one I already made -- which I'm very much enjoying. Cheers mate!

Thank you, my friend — much appreciated!
Your idea of making your own pipe sounds wonderful; there’s a special satisfaction in shaping something that’s truly yours. I’d love to see how it turns out. Greetings from the other side of the world!

I don't know if I'm right, but it seems like a similar temperature to my area. Here, winter has disappeared. There's just a cool autumn from November to April, and from May until the end of October, summer arrives. My winter clothes are rotting in the closet. I only use them when I go to the northwest of Spain on vacation to my in-laws' house. And thank goodness we never reach 40º degrees in summer, I'm referring to my city, on the southeast coast of Spain.

Changing up a bit of this windy and rainy day with a Davidoff Signature No.2 panatella watching Walker Texas Ranger

Man you ever noticed, Walker can do a flip through a window and round house a bad guy and he never loses his hat.
