Follow up. This was the second bowl of OGS and it was better because I realized it how hot the Virginia burns. It was much more leisurely this time??

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am almost half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 78 in a smooth straight brown 1949 Yello- Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Working and listening to Bob Dylan.
Had some 2020 Cringle Flake in a Radice Twin Bore Dublin.
Fed the cats, and smoked a bowl of year 2005 GLP Cumberland in a 2017 smooth, medium bend, medium brown made in France Comoy’s Riband 184 apple with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Deciding on what to smoke next.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of Watch City Simply VOriental in an undated straight smooth medium brown Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
My goodnight smoke is GLP Westminster in a HIS Pipe.
Part way through this bowl of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Good morning, folks. We continue enjoying with. C&D Carolina Red Flake, in corn pipe Carolina Gent. And a irish coffee.............................22º
Good Morning Folks, Early Morning Pipe in a Blakemar.
Good Day Folks, Cabbie's mix in a Parker.
A couple of minutes away from smoking 1970s Prince Albert in an undated, unbranded straight smooth brown made in France Los Alton VBF Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Have enough left for a couple bowls or so. Still working, but not for too long.
Steady "Eddie" with the same tasty mix I made a couple of days ago, a 60/40 blend of Sutliff Aged Red VA and D&R Cockstrong, and headed out for my third lunt before the sun rises, this time using a no named straight octagonal billiard with a thickish vulcanite saddle stem. The pipe has a metal sleeve tenon like some Grabows.
I ordered tobacco from smokingpipes yesterday and it was shipped already! Perique on the way!

Nothing today, tomorrow or Saturday.
Just had my first Covid19 vaccination this morning ? and volunteering for Don Catchment Rivers Trust today.

That’s a very unusual date stamp on the band, looks double stamped, maybe a i on top of a h which would put it 1907-9. I’d love to see a closer pic if you don’t mind.
Odd, I have a 9 year old tin, mild and sweet, absolutely amazing. I’m not sure if a 9 year old tin of SL is Syrian, hmm ?
All I can say is if you like English/Balkan blends of various styles, then be on the look out for an aged tin like this.
To me, an aged tin of SL is one of the greats!
There is absolutely nothing bitter or sour here, just puffing bliss.

I’ll try it again in a different pipe, maybe I’ll get something else from it, but as English blends go it’s not really my cuppa tea.
good day all, after my 5km walk in the forest and some work at home, now time to relax with a little Motzek VB Twist in a Zenz and cool beer
Morning everyone, started with some Mellow Mallard in the Donegal Rocky Bulldog with my coffee, moving on to HH Va Flake in the MM Marcus. 
Couldn't sleep, and am smoking Wilke Peanut Butter in a 1980s black sandblasted slight bend Savory’s Argyll 281 Cherrywood with a black vulcanite tapered stem.
