Having some University Flake for my nightcap. I’m wondering what this would be like with some age. Anyone experience that?

A public holiday in Australia in commemoration of the WW I Gallipoli campaign in 1915, and the thousands of Kiwis and Aussies who served and those who gave up their lives
A couple of pipes from the WW I era
The first, a 1914 Ben Wade straight billiard with a tapered stem

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am half way through this bowl of Dan Tobacco The Mallard Flake Plus Perique in a straight smooth brown 2017 unbranded Upshall Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. My suspicion that there's been a very stealthy new-to-me black with a white strip on the nose feral the last couple of months was confirmed a few minutes ago when I went out to feed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave. It ran away as always. I left some food for it by the side of the house, and hope it'll come back and eat.
Enjoyed a tasty snack, and am smoking a rare, delicious treat: a 1980s Bolivar Corona.
Next up is this 1913 bent billiard nosewarmer with an amber stem
Bought as a beater pipe to hone my skills at cleaning estates
After reaming out the bowl and cleaning the airways, it looks OK apart from the button which was chewed up and mostly missing.
A softy bit and it is more than functional

Nearing the half way mark on this bowl of Watch City Original Crumb Cut in a 1950s-60s straight smooth brown Bertram 07 octagonal paneled billiard with a square shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Enjoyed a tasty red delicious apple, and am nearing the half way mark on this bowl of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend.
Morning all starting off with a bowl of Newminster 400 in a Peterson Rosslare Classic, on this sunny at the moment morning.
Half way through this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2018 full bend smooth Terracotta Peterson XL315 System Standard military mount with a nickel cap and a flared black vulcanite p-lip stem. Reading baseball box scores.
Last smoke of the day is Jim's Va/Bur in a black 1980 sandblasted Peterson Premiere 01 medium bend pot with a black vulcanite p-lip stem. This is the first Peterson that I bought.
I have an open tin of some 5 year old Uni Flake, which required re-hydration; but, is still good. It had been so long since I last smoked it, I can't accurately state if it was better when I first cracked the tin or 5 years later. One thing's sure, either way, it's a winner.

Smoking some SG 1792 Flake in a Charatan Huntsman (the top one in the picture). Drinking some Brazilian dark roast coffee.
John Cotton Double Pressed Virginia in a Stanwell Bulldog, shape 32.
A change of pace today for my first smoke - Sail Natural (ivory) in a little AKB dublin.
Years ago, I smoked a lot of Sail, and my preferred smoke was Sail Regular (Yellow). When I revisited these 10 or 15 years ago, my tastes had change, and I much preferred the Ivory. When I heard that Ivory was being discontinued, I tracked down some,and bought 5 pouches. I just opened the last one, and it positively sings in this little meer. Wish I had some more.

Bayou Morning in a George Boyadjiev.
Coffee, burley, cob. Beautiful morning!
