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

[Scottmi]

That sounds like a blast!

It's a good time, especially with kids. I see similar happen at a number of annual country fairs. Be fun to take your grandson when he's between 5-8yo!

Taking out a couple of 1922s today - being Dad’s birth year.

Dad passed away on Wednesday, after a short illness (influenza), 3 days short of his 103rd birthday

I can’t recall ever seeing him with a pipe, but he smoked cigarettes for years - Players Navy Cut, Lucky Strike, Peter Stuyvesant, Benson&Hedges.
He stopped smoking in 1985 after a heart attack

So here’s to you Dad

Being a cigarette smoker, I thought Dad would be happy with the blend of Burley, Virginia and Cavendish in MacBaren’s Navy Flake

@OzPiper I'm sorry to hear of your father's passing. That is a very nice tribute smoke, I am sure he will appreciate it!

@JimInks Lovely pipe! I'm not familiar with the term 'etched' for a pipe. Is that a manner of sandblasting or is this a rustication?

Last day of October. Happy Halloween everyone. This here is a 1998 LX Old Church and thanks to a member I’ve been enjoying some Frog Morton the past few days.

Part way through this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. M'lady fed the ferals except for the absent Tomato the Brave. I fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Smoking the fabulous and peerless Louisiana Flakes in my Peterson 2025 Halloween 302 system as I make final preparations for All Saints’ Day tomorrow.

First smoke of Halloween is some 2020 Robert McConnell Red Virginia in an Ardor Urano Fantasy DR paneled hawkbill. Happy Halloween All!

My Halloween afternoon smoke is HB in my first ever pipe. A basket pipe that is one of the best smokers I've ever had.

Did a set of walking reps on this sunny, chilly, windy day and am not far from 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. The wind kept blowing my way when I walked uphill, so it took more effort today. As I walked out the door, Tomato the Brave was waiting to come in. I let him in and gave him plenty to eat while I walked. When I came back, he wanted out. Daisy the Feral Princess was waiting at the deck steps for me, and she followed me inside to eat some more. Didn't see Harry the hairy, but he ate plenty when he was here earlier.
