Moved on to C&D Yorktown. This is from a very recently packed tin. My favorite C&D VA so far. Reminds me a lot of Dunhill Ready Rubbed. I'd imagine a couple years age would be really nice on this blend.
Habana Daydream in a Jambo meer with Bulleit bourbon.
It's finally time to have popped the 2013 Dunhill Elizabethan in a 4 hole stinger Kaywoodie Lovat, ending my first bowl of it now. The tin aroma is slightly sour slightly raisiny and fermented virginias, this sourness isn't there in the fresh stuff. Earthy, Woodsy, a little sweet and just a whisper of warming spices kind of like Eastern European gingerbread. Very piquant on the retrohale, pure Vaper bliss. The 5-10 year mark is the sweet spot for me when it comes to Vapers.
I have an unopened tin only a few months old. Perhaps I'll wait on it.
Just finishing this bowl of Wilke Gentry Royal Blend #2 in a 1975 three quarter bend black Dunhill Shell 52021 billiard with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Last night some Stonehaven from a cream colored bag in an SMS meer.
Now almost finished with some 2015 Director's Cut in a Savinelli Capri Bruna.

Sutliff Match Victorian in a Dunhill Shell 36/3 1920 Patent (1938-1943 no date).
By the halfway point I was really wishing it had more age.. got a lil nippy. I think it has potential to be really good, though.
Smoking some C&D Pegasus in a Briar Works cutty.
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Fat Old Sun in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2001 Karl Erik Ekstravagant brandy with a leaf engraved silver band and a black acrylic saddle stem.
Earlier, I had a bowl of my favorite tobacco, Samovar, in a Peterson B7 Donegal Rocky.
I’m plowing through an 8 ounce tin of Sixpence. Smoking it tonight in a bent apple made by Jim Deschaine. 
HU Krater Plug in a Danmore bent billiard.
Just past the half way mark on this bowl of 2012 MacBaren Burley London Blend in a smooth medium bend 2002 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Just did a little jarring.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple and my last smoke of the day is 1940s Troost Aromatic in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic saddle stem. Watching Red Skelton.
Westminster Abbey in a Rattray's Nimbus Calabash pipe. 7°C overcast but dry.
I am about to fire up some Golden Extra in a Mark Twain.
