Doing my best to not let this bowl of Nightcap end; it’s just so good. Rattray pipe.

Wrong thread lads; strike me down!
Dunhill 965 is a medium strength English blend. A favorite of many, including myself. I have not tried Peterson's version, though I hear it is just as popular among fans of English blends.
I have now smoked several bowls and can say this tin aged well after about 30 years. Mellowed nicely, as one might expect. No sharp edges, and all flavors, including the Latakia, joined harmoniously together.
And when this tin is gone, I have another the same age!
I don't know if the sugar crystals are evident but this is a 2000-era Three Nuns. We are at the beach this week and I am working it in a couple beater-cobs with a lawn chair wind block and strong coffee. They sparkle and I'm day dreaming about how they'd make for an espuma for Cuban coffee. I should mine and drink or sell them to coffee shops, maybe (lol).
Opened my first 8 oz tin today -- a 2024 tin of GL Pease Quiet Nights. It comes in four 2 oz paper 'tiers' much like Pepperidge Farm's cookies. I filled a Pocket Jar Max, then put 2 oz in an 8 oz Ball jar for refills, and then cellared the remaining bulk (~5.5 oz) in a mylar bag. Can't wait to try this out tonight!
You are mistaken. Your tin is clearly marked "1876", making it 148 years old

It's hot as hell, so I was in the mood for something light. Popped a Comoy's Cask no. 9, aromatic Virginias topped with nougat, vanilla, and chocolate.
Wessex Burley Slice from 2009. I'm enjoying a large cob full of this on my back porch right now.
Opened a new tin today but always forget thid thread. Note to self take Photos.

It’s not too late. You can still do it. Take some pics of what’s left and show us.
I finished a long-open tin of Ennerdale last night. On to the next aromatic. Ah, been on the shelf two years...

Sounds like an incentive to smoke. I love candy corn.
The second half is a lot more palatable than the first half, initial impression. I may grow to like it. Maybe.

Just finished my first tin of it this weekend. It's in the "middle" range of my preferences.
