What do you think of that burley? I have some of the original re-release, new it was overpowered with added chocolate. I opened a tin a couple months ago and it seemed to have lost most of its added chocolate topping, quite tasty.
This is 2 years now as the manufacturer date is nov 23. It has calmed down significantly. Beautiful burley. I bought a can from 2005 and it has mellowed so much.

Chocolatey in a very sophisticated and classy way. Not cloying or goopy. A dry chocolate essence that compliments the cocoa burley natural sweetness

Just got a new pipe today, a straight morta bulldog of unknown origin, only marking is a feather stamped on the underside. This pipe has an interesting smooth finish, sort of a knapped, almost faceted quality. Same with the stem, which I believe I can safely say is hand-cut. It is a very lightly used estate, the only way to tell is from the faint Latakia ghost that haunts it. It is very lightweight, so much so that I feel like weighing it later just so see. Excited to load it up with 08 Nightcap. If anyone knows who or what workshop made this pipe, let me know! Comment from the wife: “That looks like a pipe that Sauron would smoke”.IMG_8183.jpegIMG_8184.jpegIMG_8185.jpeg
