Great photo! Never had the original, but I really like the Match Elizabethan too.

Assuming I can get to sleep tonight, probably the last pipe of the night. Having some Solani Silver 660 in my J Everett pipe . 
Part way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Crimson Guard in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Have enough left for a couple of more smokes.
Don't buy the new version. It's a different blend, and in my opinion, inferior. The Match is based on the Murray's Elizabethan, not the current production.
In have a bijou Virginia yum in a corn cob it's delicious
I got whatever pipes & cigars have. I assume that's the current production?
Orlik Golden Sliced (open jar but been hangin’ around since Jan 2018) in a MM 5 Star General Cob. Learned no to like Virginia with this, slowly.
I have three of his. Love Jason's work!
Peretti St. James Mixture in a Eltang sailor.
GHC Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Peterson Deluxe System 20s
A third of the way through this bowl of MacBaren Three Nuns Green in a 2018 smooth straight flame grain Basil Meadows Merchant Service "Bing" replica with an aluminum band and black ebonite stem.
Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Burlier Morning Pipe in a mid-70s straight smooth octagonal paneled Jeanet (made by Chacom) billiard with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee is my drink.
Esoterica Dorchester in a Savinelli Deluxe Milano 804 Canadian.
Drying out some Wessex campaign Dark Flake as a first smoke from a Mastercraft bulldog ( thanks @BROBS, it really is a sweet pipe).
I wasn't super impressed with the current Elizabethan myself, so I've been eager to try the Match which is based on an earlier Murray's version of EM. Good to see you think it's worth the hype.
