Tonight's a low key night on the central FL back porch in 79F degrees... nice! Dunkin fresh ground whole bean coffee. Sipping both the coffee and 3+ yr old LBF in a Twain MM with ... wait for it ... the original plastic stem lol. Yet it seems it doesn't get any better than this.

Hit me up if you want to sell or trade your leftovers. I missed that one and want to try it. Missed the Stockton reissue last week too, damnit.
wow love that pipe!

Enjoyed a tasty navel orange, and am now smoking Watch City Off the Rails in a medium bend raw sienna toned early Radice sandblast egg with bamboo carving on the shank and a black acrylic saddle stem. Community Coffee is my drink.
So did I. I never got to try Stockton. I used to smoke a ton of the old BLB. Perhaps @J.Henry845 will tell us what has changed?

I have only smoked the discontinued Burley London Blend with 10+ years on it, never "fresh." I assume the aging has caused fading of the casing.
The topping seems much more prominent in the reissue.
The cocoa topping was undetectable in the discontinued version to my tastes. I get more of the nutty/oat notes and with occasional hints of natural cocoa Burley can impart in a blend. Not a blend I would call an "aromatic." I get the impression of a light casing as opposed to a noticeable topping.
The topping in the reissue is a much stronger cocoa with vanilla in the background, enough to leave a ghost for the next bowl. This version is OK, but the topping overtakes the flavors of the tobacco's natural flavors a bit too much for my liking. Not something that scratches the Burley itch for me.
Older version I give a 4 out of 5.
Reissue is a 2.5.
Now smoking aged Walnut in a 1990s smooth briar calabash shaped Butz-Choquin Maitre Pipier JR Fait Main with a horn ferrule and a black lucite stem. Still fresh, but has matured age notes.
