I have some of this baccy in my cellar I picked up last August. Was waiting to try it. Interested in your comments on the blend.
Well, from a palate not the compare of most here …… this non-topped ‘22 Van Gogh has a package note that is somewhat light but there is definitely stuff going on. I grabbed some non-Perique Red Flake (has a little age on it) and I’d say not as richly aromatic as that, but more so and more complex than Capstan Gold. I like both of those. This isn’t as “deep” (to me) as the Red Flake but was tasty and maybe just a bit tangy-er in a could smoke this all day kind of way. Sorry, best I’ve got. Need to figure it out more!

Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching Mad Dog Russo. Lunch follows this smoke.

This evening I am smoking a historical tobacco in the Falcon: Three Nuns. The first few puffs are superb.
On the side: a usual red, hot and spicy drink.
Later on, while having dinner, I will watch the film "The Pale Blue Eye". A main character is one of my favourite authors.
Tomorrow evening we will have an "inner circle" meeting of our pipe club.

Wish you to end Tuesday well, good people!
