My bricks of 2023 are still sealed and tucked away, so at this time, I can only comment on the 2022 release. I’ve always found that the 2022 Folklore burns beautifully. I smoked this slowly and gently and got just over five hours of smoking time out of this chamber load—I would say the sweet, stewed fruit, spicy hint of clove, and tartness was present throughout, with the perceived spiciness seemingly elevated the last two hours. If the flavour is disappearing on you, it’s possible you may be smoking it a little fast. It will be awhile before I get around to the 2023, so what you’ve experienced may in fact be how the blend behaves.
too fast is very likely my issue! will be breaking in out again soon, will see if I have improved.
I have moved on to some Autumn Evening in my Peterson System Spigot 317. Sitting in the shop near the stove puttering about. 
I've moved on to Union Square in this kk vergin
Smoked a couple of bowls of Wilke English while working on an art commission in the studio, and have less than a third of a bowl left of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
After months of trying, I managed to get a photo through the glass door of an orange and white cat that's snuck around here a few times to eat. It reminds me a tad of Tomato the Brave, only this cat is more afraid of me than Shy Stripesy.

I really enjoyed this Saturday's ZOOM meeting with my pipe friends, not only the fun conversations, warm camaraderie, and the usual ball-busting, but a very tasty smoke.
I savored some 2017 Christmas Cheer in my Perspex stemmed GBD Prehistoric 508 bent billiard, partnered with a mug of Barrie House Indonesian Sumatra coffee. It made for quite a satisfying afternoon.

Enjoyed a big and tasty golden delicious apple, and just finished smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed in a straight smooth brown 1933-1945 Comoy’s patent Grand Slam 127 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Was watching a documentary about the death of George "Superman" Reeves. No question in my mind that it was murder and not suicide.
Half way through 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. I'll end the day with this smoke.
Couldn't sleep, so I got up, and decided to check on the ferals. Daisy and Tomato were waiting on me even though it is extremely unusual for me to be awake at this time. Somebody ate the food I had left before I went to bed. Anyway, it's raining, and as I put down the dry food, Abner the Eager ran up on the deck, wet and hungry, so I got a towel and dried him off. Guess it wasn't him who ate that food. Everybody's eating in peace now.
I am smoking year 2014 Orlik Golden Sliced in an early 20th century Gordon Special Bruyere 49 apple with a triangular shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Good Sunday morning all. Up way too early for Premier League footie again. Smoking a parfait of Opening Night, Capstan Blue, and Old Gowrie in a Savinelli Roma 606 EX. A pipe I've had some trouble breaking in, but is starting to come good.
New pipes are indeed a mixed blessing. But mostly good. Occasionally there is one that feels the need to misbehave on the fringes.
More Haddo’s in a Jody Davis. It’s not cold but it is damn dreary.
Davidoff Scottish Mixture in the Tsuge 502.
