Up next if you are interested, a can of Telegraph Hill from G.L. Pease, 2005.
I picked the Escudo to smoke first, I have been saving these for a very long time! It is everything you have heard it is, a thousand times before. But it's true... get some, save it.

Very nice. :clap: ::

That looks fantastic I can smell the plums from here.

 

[elpfeife]

Very enticing.

I love threads like this! Thanks for posting, Don. Glad it worked out. Aged Escudo is heaven.

Looks good wish I had one of these. Is the current incarnation worth getting and aging?

Looks wonderful Don. I've got a tin I may open this weekend.

The AC Petersen version was wonderful. I's still sitting on a handful of them. Congrats on the great smoke!
The STG is a very good smoke, but it's not in the same league the A & C Petersen version.

 

[donjgiles]

Cool plum, no burn on nasal exhale... ah... heaven.

By the way, you may notice the inner paper disk is a bit disheveled... I may or may not, have taken a bite out...

I can almost smell it!!......... Escudo was the first 'REAL' tobacco I smoked, it's still dear to my heart!......... I've about 20 tins in the cellar, now to go find it.........

Enjoy that one, and welcome to the forum, BTW!............... ::

I swear I can smell the tobacco from this picture as well:

Enjoy it!

That sound you're hearing is me drooling.

A fellow head...

You know, Jerry was sooooo nice, he did not even need a middle finger!

This is just a fantastic thread. I can almost smell the Escudo from the pictures. A.& C. Petersen did a superb job with this blend.

Mine has been around three or four years, but I doubt it will stay around as long as this tin has. Usually, Virginias show the most improvement.

Oh wow .... that paper liner looks amazing. All brown stained and curled up from the oils during the aging process. I bet that smells super sweet and delicious
I could just chew on that it looks soooo tasty....
