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

[loborx]

It was pumpkin picking day at the market and I think I nabbed a winner. Cool and sunny on the high desert this afternoon. I’ve got some old cellar MacBaren Plumcake toasting away in an even older Caminetto amber acrylic stem bent “Business” pipe. Sketching jack-o-lantern faces in my mind…

C&D Burley Flake #1 followed by Gawith Kendal Dark. It’s been a while since I smoked Kendal Dark and I still love it. Burns easy, tastes great. The nicotine is not shy, which I appreciate. I was getting nic cranky. I wonder how many cranky posts are due to nicotine deficiency. I’m responsible for quite a few, haha.

Just finished smoking year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Been editing a short article written about me for the 200th issue of Alter Ego magazine.

PS LNF in the Sav 2614KS with 6mm filter. Put first coat of food grade butcher block oil on the Barontini and wet, it looked just like the day I got it. I wish I could capture that wet lacquer look but It breathes (stays cooler) better without the lacquer. All of the grain and growth rings are very visible again, I may just wax it without filling in the nicks and such we'll see.

Passing the first third of this bowl of 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink. After I fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger, I let Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave in for their wet food. Dunno where Harry the Hairy is. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching the Mariners-Jays game with Sleepy Suzy by my side. Molly Danger came out from the bedroom and has been on m'lady's lap for a while. She was in the den when Daisy the Feral Princess was, and there weren't any problems outside of one hiss from Molly. Daisy backed away and laid by my feet until a few minutes ago when she went out.
