C&D Visions of Celephais
Indonesian Kasturi leaf with red and bright Virginias and dark-fired Kentucky.
A nice “Grape” aromatic.
I give credit to finding this one to @Chasing Embers and if you like an occasional aromatic it’s a unique must try.

Good stuff!

Whilst exploring some new Orientals this year and, more recently, the HU line as a whole, i figured it'd put 2 and 2 together. Picked up a few of HU's Oriental offerings this haul and cracked a couple. Namely, Nebari and Soraya.

We all know what the lids look like. Wanna show us clear shots of the tobacco inside? I know I’d love to see it.

Can anyone date this tin? I purchased it from a USA pipe shop in the early 1990's.
My best guess is late 1980's.
I popped it open just now. Slight vaccuum seal remaining, perfect smoking moisture (a bit on the dry side as I prefer), smells great, lots of sugar crystals and white spots (mold?).
I will smoke it today or tomorrow and report if interesting.

Pretty sure that tin is a Murrays tin from the early 90s. Hence the 'Made in association with Dunhill' on the lid.

First tin of this one. Doing a comparison and contrast with BCF of which I have smoked at least a pound or so over the last year.

I'm only one bowl in on the SG Chocolate so jury is still out. I do really enjoy BCF so we shall see.

I'm way overdue, here. Low Country Carolina Christmas from 2008. I believe this was the first release of this blend.

Poured the leftover from the recently finished tin.

Queued up doing. This is an older tin with a single role up Flake, my favorite.

First tin of this one. Just bought it and it came with a bit of age on it.

looks tasty! It's always a bonus treat when you can buy a tin which is already aged on the store shelf for 9 months.
