Reiner Long Golden Flake in a Ruthenberg.
I couldn’t agree more, it’s mellower, richer, and sweeter to me. I can’t wait to see how the crumble kake ages.
Saddling up for only the second time with this intriguing blend. 
Close to finishing this bowl of year 2022 Prince Albert in a 2015 Basil Meadows black sandblasted billiard with an aluminum band and a pearl red acrylic tapered stem.
Getting close to the end of a tin of six pence. maybe 2 more bowls left.
First smoke of the day is Oriental Square in a Ben Wade.
D&R Rimboché SJ in my Savinelli Punto Oro Gold (701) Lovat with a Vulcanite stem. This has complexified with a couple years of aging. I actually got a brief whiff of ketchup on light-up from the aged Virginias before it settled into a stone fruit/figgy/smoky/woody groove. Good good good.
Did some snacking, and am close to finishing 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Is that a real mushroom? City boy here—that’s not something I’m used to seeing size-wise.
That looks like a Harris/cigrmaster photo. An homage?
A quarter of the way through this bowl of Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. I'll probably end the day with this smoke.
C&D Anthology in a Dr. Grabow: Commodore 65 Zulu, dated from 1967-1969, vulcanite stem, metal screw-in tenon, no stinger.
Be well everyone!
Be well everyone!
Smoke #6 in the one year meer was Presbyterian
Well, sleep turned into a nap, and when I saw Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Braves had no water, I filled the water bowl and fed them, too. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of 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.
PH Dark Strong from a Jim DeSchaine apple this morning while listening to Brian's podcast and reading. Hope yall have a good week. 
Smoke #7 in the one year meer was McCranies Red Ribbon from 2012, graciously gifted by my last years secret santa @cosmicfolklore .
Without knowing how it tasted when it was fresh, this is an awesome smoke! The pop of the tin, the smell inside (hmmmm vinegar, my first experience with tobacco smelling like ketchup), the tobacco which got almost black, how it smokes (VERY slow), how it tasted, all in all a very nice experience on what a 10 year old tin could look, smell and taste like. I now can see why people stash tobacco away. Not only because of pricepoint now, legislation and availability, but also because how tobacco could change in that time.
Thanks again Michael.
