Haven’t tried that one yet. I got a tin of it. Trying to decide if I should crack it or wait. I really want to see if Germain is really going to be releasing product more frequently.

I was going to hold off and try to trade the two tins I got.. I have no self control :ROFLMAO: so I popped a one of em.. I sure hope I don't like this as much as I'm afraid I do..

Having an after dinner coffee with a bowl of Argento Duo, a Virginia/Criollo blend in the Hardcastle's Argyle bullcap. The dram of whisky is for medicinal purposes...;)

about to have an inaugural smoke of 1996 Dunbar from my Peterson Deluxe System 20s with custom Brindle George Dibos Stem. This baby is even more beautiful in person. Just begging to be smoked. @georged

Complete with a "P" logo! Very nice - love brindled cumberland. My favorite pipe stem material.

Now smoking Esoterica And So To Bed in a MM Hardwood. Diet Coke is my drink. Not sure what to make of this one yet.. Maybe it taste like I'm smoking a plum thicket? I get the feeling I'm going to either love it or hate it, by the time I'm done with this tin.
I've never tried it either, but "smoking a plum thicket" sounds like an intriguing start!

Did you need a C'n'C machine to cut that stuff up? I could never get Yachtsman to cooperate with me!
You know, I'm still slowly smoking the plug you gifted me in 2018. This is definitely one of the hardest plugs to cut but my antique tobacco cutter cut through it like butta!

Actually the only harder plug that I've had to cut was Grousmore plug from 2007... That stuff was pitch black and hard as a rock! It's as if the years had fused the layers together into one solid piece... still tastes great though.

I’ve got some Grousemoor plug from 01. It’s like shaving off wood chips.

Beautiful dog, reminds me of the guide dog we used bear hunting about 15 years ago. Very rambunctious. He couldn’t get enough of the catch . Had to beat him off the kill. Lol
