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

[JimInks]

Starting off the month with a bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is with m'lady. The ferals are outside for now.

Happy month and happy Autumn season to all of you good people!

Smoking now some Stanislaw Balkan Latakia. Into the Greatest of All pipes (for me): a MM Country Gentleman with changed stem.

Did a little low calorie snacking, and am 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. Tomato the Brave came back for his wet food. After that, he came over to me, laid down, and put his paw on my foot. He's still there. Watching the Orioles-Giants game and getting ready to clean a few pipes.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2000 SWRA in a straight smooth 2024 Peterson Red Killarney 264 Canadian with metal accents around the shank and a black acrylic p-lip stem. Getting close to feral feeding time. They've been quiet and mostly outdoors today. The weather has been great so I can't blame them for enjoying it.

Gasparini +
Stanislaw English Summer Flake — straight Virginia, vibrant yet gentle.
Pros: smooth onset, subtle sweetness, refreshing, nice flake texture.
Cons: fades fast, needs careful prep, slightly dry at first.

Last smoke of the day is Wilke Little Round Top in a straight smooth brown 2017 unbranded James Upshall Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. I let Harry the Hairy in to eat, and after he did, he started scratching my chair, which I hate. I thought he wanted out, but he didn't. Each time that I opened the door, he ran off to the middle of the room. This happened three times before I realized that what he really wanted was to play with me. I threw a bunch of catnip balls to him. Those he didn't catch, he chased, batted around and chewed on them. Finally, after doing that about twenty or more times, he wore out, and laid down in the middle of six catnip balls. I was going to take a photo of it, but just as I was ready to snap a pic, he got up and went to the kitchen to drink some water. Then, he wanted out. At least he's happy.

I had a little MB HH ODF left that I'd aired out earlier, so I popped it into my little DIY chap to see how it does with it.
Paired with Old Forester Rye over ice.
Wet, cool and calm Texas night.
