Beautiful pipe Jim! Hey in your experience does Yorktown change much with age? Do you pick up much nuance with the blend? I tried in a few years back and I pretty much got grassy/hay and not much sweetness from the Virginia’s. It could have been a multitude of factors including the fact that it was pretty fresh when I smoked it... I was just curious what your thoughts were?

I haven't smoked aged Yorktown, so I can't answer your question. I am aging some that I bought last year, but I'm letting it age further before I try it. Some day in the future, I'll try it aged. As there's a decent amount of gold Va. in the mix, I would imagine it would lose some of the sparkle over time.

First smoke in a recently acquired estate pipe. A handsome Armemilli, Sumerler, Fatte A Mano (Hand Made) flame grain, sitter. Half bent acrylic with a silver band.
It almost has a reverse volcano shape to it, if that is such a thing?
I’m smoking Sutliff Match 20 with The Glenlivet 12 yr Scotch.

It is freezing here in Tampa, Florida. I am debating what I am going to smoke if I can brave the chilly evening! rotf
@condorlover1 Been very windy ?️ here in England; reminds me of the day I went to see the Sealed Knot and Dad says I spent all day trying to light my clay pipe:)
Going litter picking when the storm has passed!
