Buenos Aires Province.
Having a 'day off' and to top it all off the wife's gone out to her mothers.

Some Argentine Criollo twist in the Hardcastle's bullcap.

Just finishing this bowl of circa year 2000 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. It's already a busy day, which isn't a complaint! Going through the wonderful "hate mail" while watching Mad Dog Russo.

Must be fresh Blue. Aged it’s much better.

Don't know the context for fresh vs aged, this tin was bought about a year ago and opened a few weeks ago. I also decided to stove it which made it very dark, incredibly good smelling for my tastes, and increased flavour perceived by about 1%. Really, when 1792 Flake is "just right" for me, and Old Dark Fired served as my all-day, everyday smoke, Capstan Blue sadly didn't stand much of a chance to make an impression.

LOL

Zero comparison between ODF and a Virginia. I didn’t realize that was the context. I thought you were comparing fresh to something with 5-10 years.

Whole leaf blend. Similar to mclellands anniversary(I think...I've never smoked it myself). A mild but rich blend, a subtle interplay.

Dark stoved red Virginia 85%
Latakia 15%
Ribbon cut.

Through an Altinay lattice meerschaum billiard(loving this pipe after I opened up the draw!)
