Awesome! I ask because I have a tin of Escudo that's nearly 4 years old. I got it on the promise that it was a classic blend that everyone should try, but knew that it could be even better with age. It's on my shortlist of "aged tins to try soon".

Same! And because it's a VaPer was a little leary to jump in but I do really enjoy it. I also had some plumcake and Peterson's St Patrick's day that I was enjoying... and then I tried the 3 I mentioned and for me it's no comparison. Plumcake and St Patrick's have their place but I prefer the others. I tend to like bold, savory in your face type of flavors. Usually gravitate towards IPAs, whiskey neat and steak with minimal seasoning. Worked in coffee for a bit, had to do regular tastings of the blends which just influenced my palate even more.
I kill for a Gauloises or Gitanes right now, are they still available in the US? I can’t find them anywhere over here.Quick morning smoke with a bowl of Abingdon in an Eric Paulson Devil Anse, along with a cup of hot black tea (Lahaha Royal Black, if anyone is interested) before settling down to the day's work.
Something about an English blend and black tea just clicks for me, kinda like a triple espresso and unfiltered Gauloises Caporal did for me back in the days of living more dangerously.
Cheers to all and happy wednesday.

Good day all! Starting with Elizabethan Mixture in a Tilshead smooth billiard with eighth-bent saddle stem.
I know some of you will have Dunhill pipes and tobacco but I just got the ALBUM!!!
I found this in a local charity shop and had to buy it, not for the crappy cover songs inside but….. well you know, it’s a pipe thing.

Don't know about the Gitanes, but I haven't seen the unfiltered Gauloises anywhere for a LONG time. Last time I saw them was in Prague about ten years ago, and I had to buy a pack for old time's sake.
Admittedly, I haven't been looking, though ... I was never a frequent cigarette smoker, and some things (as my wife frequently and rightly reminds me) are better left in the past.

Interesting musical selections there for sure. I'm scratching my head a little bit. ;-)

I actually quit two years ago so just as well I suppose.Don't know about the Gitanes, but I haven't seen the unfiltered Gauloises anywhere for a LONG time. Last time I saw them was in Prague about ten years ago, and I had to buy a pack for old time's sake.

I think it was gifted out to the suppliers of Dunhill tobacco, judging by what’s written in the liner notes. I guess for playing in the store or something.
Not going to lie ... if I saw a pack again, I'd almost certainly buy it and smoke one with an espresso.

Three Friars in a Radice Silk Cut brandy.
Chelsea Morning in Rattray's The Good Deal billiard. It's such a good smoker for a budget pipe.
Also enjoying a hot brew of Lapsang Souchong with it.

About half way through this bowl of year 2015 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
Nice choice of tobacco- I’m going to St.Louis this weekend and hope to visit your tobacconist.
