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

[Sobrbiker]

Loading up for today’s work, last of the pouch of Dark Sails is in pipe, and the pouch is getting a refill of Old Joe Krantz Blue (looks like it’ll be a routine work smoke).
I’m still seeing how long a used 5Bros pouch will last, and the answer so far is “I can’t believe this is still not blown out!”.
The Lee medium pear will be used again today.


Edit: I just searched, and the pouch in question has been in continuous use since June ‘24, either in pocket or lunchbox.

Orlik Golden Slices in the Sav 2614KS with 6mm filter. Excellent pipe and tobacco but I notice that something in Orlik occasionally makes me sneeze ... which isn't pleasant with an injured back, but I'll deal with it for now.

......and am too fumble-fingered to use the 2 or 3 weight rods and 2 pound test leader necessary to fit into the eyelets of the size 18-20 flies I used to.....

Gord,
I started using one of these a few years ago on the smaller flies, complete game changer. It's basically a glorified clothes pin with a notch that lines up the eyelet with a funnel shaped hole to pass the tippet through the eye every time.

I ain't tried the white label yet. I'm still on the look out for that black label dottle! Where's C&D at? Cool pipe by the way.

First bowl ever of C&D Exclusive in a Commonweal (Ferndown & Michael Parks collaboration) while watching my beloved Toffees at Manchester City with a pot of Harney's Irish Morning on the side. Loved Exclusive.

Old Joe Krantz Blue in a Savinelli Cumberland 806. Drinking good coffee, just had a great breakfast of sausage patties, avocado toast, and soft boiled eggs rolled in a worschshire and mustard sauce. Um. Now I'm gonna go smoke this bowl. It's been a good day.
