One of my favorites. I’ve noticed fresh seems better than the five year old stuff I have. Do you prefer age on no.4?

 

[Servant King]

After a minimal drying session, stuffed my Savinelli Bacco 321 rusticated author with my 2nd to last bowl of a sample of McClelland Frog Morton. Watching the fog roll in while getting ready to empty out the rain collection barrel from last night. 9/10

Bird report: Dark-eyed junco, White-crowned sparrow, Chipping sparrow, California towhee, House finch, California scrub-jay, American crow, Steller's jay, Northern flicker, Hairy woodpecker, California quail, and Mountain chickadee.

Even though I lost today at Scrabble vs. wifey, 304 to 282, I did manage to get "lunter" on a triple word score.

Merry holiday everyone!

I picked up this tin at the Vegas show this year from 2005 and it is amazing. Wish I had more. Rough edges are completely gone. Has a creamy sweetness that fresh doesn’t have for me. I’m not necessarily a fan of all aged tobacco. Sometimes red va gets mushy and I prefer it to have some zap etc. but this is way better in my opinion

Sounds very good! I’m glad it’s become more available.

Just put flame to a bowl of Boswell’s Christmas Cookie in my little clay. First time I’ve ever had any Boswell’s tobacco. It was a gift from my secret Santa! This stuff smells amazing when lit.
Merry Christmas, y’all!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, haddock, snow peas, pot roast dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the first third of this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a sandblasted medium bend 1950s Reuben era Charatan Deluxe 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
