Just finished smoking year 2018 Dunhill London Mixture in a brown medium bend 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a military mount and a tapered black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Been cleaning estate pipes, and hoping at least two of the four will be ready to smoke.

I actually like Today’s St Bruno better than the 80’s-90’s version that I remember. Maybe it’s changed, maybe my memory has faltered but it’s a lot more enjoyable.
I liked the old stuff because it was different. This current stuff tastes like a dozen other blends.
One thing I did notice, is this current stuff KIND OF smells(in the jar) and even tastes a bit like McClelland VAs.
It's actually closer than a couple of the "match" blends I've tried.
I'll be opening a jar of 13 year old 5100 soon. Then I can do a direct comparison.
