C&D Palmetto Balkan in a BBB Walnut Own Make 428.
Watch City Old Dominion in a Ferndown
Passing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2015 John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia in a straight smooth light brown 2020 Ryan Alden Ace of Spades squat bulldog with a spalted pecan top and ferrule that’s attached to the tapered black acrylic stem.
Your first description accurately reflects what I am smoking. My FVF from the same time period is the same way.
Makes me want to hold onto the 2018 for another 5 years! Gotta love tobacco!
I bought pounds of FVF and SJF specifically to age once I smoked some ten year old samples of both. I wish I had done the same for Best Brown, but since the tobacco in Sam Gawith products has changed, I won't do it even if I was still buying tobacco.
Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Peterson bent Aran. Good stuff, on my second bowl.
Out lunting, Marlin Flake in a Marxman Benchmade Jumbo.
Fired up a briar tonight. Pegasus out of the Moretti that I had listed here for sale. I was looking to sell it because the chamber depth is 1.6 so it’s a bit deeper than I usually prefer. I did a 2/3 pack and had a pleasurable smoke. I might just smoke this pipe like that from now on.
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed in a smooth dark brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam 340 patent billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
My Falcon stuffed with the new Country Squire blend Lamb With Jam.
It is an infused rather than aromatic blend. The tobaccos are very much in the drivers seat. Savory from the dark-fired and burley, sweet from the Virginias. I did not taste the mint during the smoke, it became noticeable in the aftertaste, in a very pleasant way that is rather hard to describe (my apologies).
I think that those who do not generally care for aromatics might actually enjoy this.
I think this is a limited release but is worth checking out.

Late night Rustica in a Dunhill P
Earlier this evening, MB Virginia Flake in an Altinay.
starting the day with a bowlfull of Amphora Burley in a BBB SilverGrain 709 long shanked medium billiard
Yeah baby! That's the way you do it!!
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am passing the first third of this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. I may end the day with this smoke.
Tomato the Brave walked with me for the last third of the last lap of my first set of walks today. And, he wanted inside, so I let him do that. We had company, and as Tomato is the Goodwill Ambassador of the ferals, he soon made friends with the lady. Both enjoyed the time together. Later in the evening, Tomato enjoyed a little play time, too.
Abner the Eager and Harry the Hairy fenced over who was going to eat. It didn’t matter there were two plates of dry food out. Both ended up leaving, but Abner returned to eat. I haven’t seen Harry since then.
Sam the Scamp came to eat right after all of that, and he got along with Abner this time. They behave better inside the house.
