Can’t go wrong with Bill Evans!The champagne is tasting good with my Radice rind filled with Elizabethan mixture, listening to an old favorite. Bill Evans trioView attachment 58463View attachment 58464
Indeed!!Can’t go wrong with Bill Evans!
I'm not an expert taster, but can tell you the tobacco looks different rubbed out compared to the new stuff. The recipe could be the same, or really close, but the difference in leaf is noticeable. Additionally, while I think that the latakia has definitely mellowed, the vintage MR has a ketchup-like taste that the newer edition definitely does not possess.I've not had 10 year aged Miss R. Do you think it is because the Lat has mellowed, or do you suspect a change in recipe? Your aged stuff may have been blended directly by Joe Lankford as opposed to blended elsewhere.
That’s a beauty!
Absolutely agree, the stand up bass player for his trio is a unsung hero.Bill Evans was a genius. I know Miles got the credit in the liner notes, but Evans wrote "Blue in Green", and on top of the heart wrenching beauty of that song, Coltrane had one of his finest solos ever on that tune.
Your Lucky Strike pic got me all nostalgic reminding me of the cartons that my wife's sister used to send and bring me from The States . . . used to smoke these after my usual Rameses and similar Turkish and other cigarettes became impossible to find in the U.K. in the early 1990s.
A trip down memory lane with a selection of the cigarettes I used to buy after I temporarily abandoned the pipe in the late 1980s and before I took up the pipe in the mid 1970s:-
