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

[JimInks]

Not far from finishing this bowl of first production Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead in a well appreciated medium bend, smooth brown 1950s Peterson 999 Dublin chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Tomato the Brave got lap time and scratches. M'lady took a couple of very short videos, but this forum won't support them. But, here's our li'l fella with a happy face.

Well, it actually did cool down in TX today, by about 10 degrees -- exactly as prophesied by @Goblin_Walrus .

Beautiful night for a cigar: Gran Habano Corojo #5. Very, very nice.
Drinking Pepsi Zero laced with Planterey Dark Rum. Cheers!

Trying a new cigar blend this morning as a first bowl in the Pete Newgrange B10 with coffee. Going to head out into the warm air for a smoke then come back and make some eggs, boudin and bacon for breakfast. Dinner was too substantial to even be interested in eating for a while this morning.

@dottlejockey I'll be really interested to hear what you think of that blend. I've been stricken with quite an episode of TAD here lately, and I may just have to extend the fun. That looks really special from the description and the one review I read on TR. (I think I just convinced myself to order it! Haha )

Glad to hear you're on your feet, out and about, enjoying your new pipes and tobaccos!

Did a little low calorie snacking, and am a third of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Esoterica Tilbury in a straight smooth Danish gold straight grain undated W.O. Larsen Hand Made in Denmark dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo.

Now smoking Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Dublin Sterling Canadian 264 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Getting ready to read baseball box scores.

Morning smoke of Scandianvian OTC virginia -burley blend *Hamilton Blanding in a Regd Era Stanwell Royal Briar model 329

Enjoyed a tasty red delicious apple, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed Sleepy Suzy who is by my side again.

Smoking mb# Capstan Gold in a Stanwell calabash pipe. I wish you a happy Thursday and may God bless you.

Near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. I brought Daisy the Feral Princess in to eat. Tomato the Brave wasn't interested until he saw Daisy in my arms, and realized that he could eat, too, so he came in. Both ate well. Daisy is laying near my feet. Tomato is in the cardboard box. Never thought that box would be so popular. I fed Harry the Hairy outside to avoid conflict. I hate doing that, but it's the best way to handle problems.

Near the last quarter of this bowl of Wilke Wall Street w/o perique in a smooth light brown quarter bend 1928-1931 KBB Drinkless Kaywoodie Synchrosystem patent Rock Ambera 7209 yachtsman with a tapered rock ambera stem. I'll end the day with this smoke. It started raining harder, and Harry the Hairy's still outside. I called to him several times, but I think he's too scared to come out from under the deck. Daisy the Feral Princess wanted out, but when she did, she saw the rain, and ran back in. Tomato the Brave is snoozin' on m'lady's chair.



The Latest: I looked out to see if Harry was around. He was at the back door with a dead mouse beside him. Guess he figured that would pay for being a house guest out of the rain.

Thanks, man. Doing well. No complaints.

I've only smoked a bowl so far, but i'm digging it. I think this one's only going to get better over the next week or so and i may order more before i leave. Great with coffee!

Thanks Ken!!

Looks good on yas. Those little Toscanos are pretty decent. I'd smoke more of 'em if it wasn't for already having a favored (cheapie) larger cigarillo for short smokes.

Woke up a little after 3am and didn't feel like going back to sleep right away, so i loaded up a bowl of Curly Block for the second smoke in the new Pete Newgrange B10 and gave it a whirl. Now it's almost 5 and since i have a 7:30 appointment i'm just going to make some coffee and call it a morning.

Brothers In Arms in a Herbaugh and a photo of my 2024 unsmoked jalan estate on its way to me now! I actually saw this pipe listed new last year and wanted it but couldn’t afford at the time. Some shmo bought it, didn’t smoke it, and sold it at a loss for my win!

You really have taste coming out of your butt, Paul. I don't like colored stems much at all, and have to be objective when I see them and comment, realizing it's just a personal bias.

However, this one really works, and I can't imagine it any other way. Ya might want to send a bit of your innate sense of elegance my way, eh? Beautiful pipe indeed!

Now there's a visual I could have done without..................
