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

[Choatecav]

Mine paid for itself with the first use. Once you have one you realize very quickly how much you can accomplish in a short amount of time.

I can definitely believe that. In the first two hours today I made a dramatic difference to how the front pasture looks.
I'm actually looking forward to using it in the back pasture tomorrow.

Until that comes, you can stretch the sample a bit by adding a little VA to it, which I did to make it more palatable. I call it Briar Faux.

Enjoy!

That’s great. I have a few straight Virginias, itching to try a couple different mixes now…

Wow that is quite a nice blast, especially on the shank. All over you know, but I feel like I rarely see such good blasting on a shank.

Coming to the end of the tin of year 2012 GL Pease Cairo. Age has truly done this wonders. One of the most interesting tin notes. If I can’t smoke, sometimes I sniff ya know.

Bought a tool today that I have never owned before. It's a pole saw. I have been working hard over past year or so to clear out and expand pastures to the fences. I had cleared out the lower stuff with my conventional chain saw but I could not get the high stuff so that I could run tractor and bush hog without getting a face full of tree limbs. This pole saw is just the trick. Then, I came through with the tractor and forks and got up the brush.

So,...... after all that work, I relaxed with some Orlik golden slice in my Comoys Dublin. Boy, it tasted good. It's funny how a pipe is even better after you have put in some worthwhile work. Sparkling water to drink...

It’s funny you mention a pole saw, last week my Mom called me and asked if she should buy a $60 pole saw at Aldi of all places. I told her she can just ask me to come over and I’ll bring mine. Lo and behold my pole saw wasn’t cutting because I had the chain on backwards, doh.
I’m going to make a shirt that says “I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m doing it anyway”

Long, busy day with last minute things. Relaxing in the lounge with some HU Krater-Plug in an Armellini Calumet and a dram of Morlach 15...lovely combo.

A beautiful, breezy evening out back. About to light up some John Bull True English with more than a smattering of cigar leaf (Tampa Ybor City) in the DIY Li'l Chap.

Real Ale "Commissar" Russian Imperial Stout (dark, dark, and more dark )

Lovin' this photo, Backwoods....

Now folks, this is how a real man loads his pipe! Throw the 'backy at it, pack the hell out of it and light er up!!!

Then clean up the mess.... but ONLY if you want to clean it up. If not, let er go.
Love it.....

I really appreciate that compliment Choatecav, I thought I was just in a hurry and being messy,,but now I’m looking at it in a completely different light! I am cool,

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, snapper and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the half way mark of this bowl of KBV Mycroft Super DeLuxe beta in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tapered dark tortoise shell colored acrylic stem. Writing beta notes. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Fed all the ferals. Molly Danger came to the den, and Harry the Hairy started to go after her. I got in front of him, and he moved around, and I had to grab him before he got to her. Dunno if he wanted to play or start trouble, but I had to put him out. Unfortunately, he's not getting the message.

That is one substantial beer, man. My wife said “this tastes like bourbon and chocolate milk”

Cut Blended Plug in a Nuttens Canadian Ropp as I watch the Hartford Whalers hopefully beat the Quebec Nordiques tonight.

You're not joking, but man is it delicious. "Bourbon and chocolate milk" sounds about right! I gained 5 lbs just from the aroma ...

Hey, have you messed with the mesquite wood any more?

The last of this week’s lunchbox tin of Black Twist (sliced) in the Color Duke.
…and a couple of unruly maniacs.

Gracie has an excuse at least, there’s a little horse inside her that’s about the size of a German Shepard currently.
