2023 Cringle in an Old Port (made by Bringham).
Exclusive in a Peterson Christmas Sandblasted X105 tonight. 
I agree that Pegasus is a great blend for all seasons. One thing I have noticed is that Pegasus is an excellent choice for a smoke out in the cold. Something about the cold seems to amplify the flavors, at least for me.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am off to work with a bowl of year 2020 D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black p-lip stem. Going to fill in black areas, and touch up the first two pages of this story. It'll be a few days before I get the rest of the story.
You seem to like those C&D burly flakes. Do you know if any of them are similar to MB HH Burly flake?
All this talk of Pegasus and Burley Flakes. A couple of my faves. Had to...
Burley flake mix in a Fikri Baki bamboo.

Now smoking 2017 Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard with a tapered black acrylic stem.
Another bowl of PS LBF this time in a Peterson Christmas 2023 69.
Chenet's Cake in a Rossi Mezzanotte Bent Brandy before bed tonight. 
BenMN ... look familiar? Also, that partial tin of Winchester you passed along to me back in March, which I mostly have let "age" since, well ... had a couple bowls, liked it, but just had an epiphany with it. Wow, it completely "opened up".
I think now, I fully understand the love. Now I get it (!!!).
This being Dec, the special Holiday Month with gift giving to our families & friends, I'm just wondering if anybody would like to do a "Baggie Sample Exchange"? Just off the top of my head, I'm thinking mail out a small sample (couple pipes worth) & get something nice back.
NOTE: I'm purposely not putting this idea into the Tobacco/Sell/Swap/Search.
Stuff I'd be interested in:
Cabbies,
Sir John's Flake,
McConnell Highgate,
Bengal Slices,
Midnight Ride or Old Ironsides,
Three Nuns Yellow,
any Esoterica except Dunbar & Stonehaven,
GH Louisiana Flake,
Charatan Black Flake

HU White Horses in my Castello collection 15 KKKK White stem. This stuff is more if what I had hoped Nyala would be although I like it too.
I do sure like them, #s 1 and 2 in particular. Sorry, but I can't compare to the MB HH Burley Flake, I've never tried that one. There is often a tin open at pipe club though, so I'll try it next time if I'm able
Oh yeah
That batch of Winchester has about a year on it now. I agree that it's smoking very well
Burn it freely if you like, there's plenty more
