For the past several days I’ve been on a kick with GLP Cumberland. The tin was from the first tinning back in April 2002, and I opened it back in March while checking some of the Pease tins for corrosion. It had a few exterior rust spots, but the interior and tobacco was perfect.

I tried it then and thought it was good. Not great, just good.

A few days ago I dipped into the jar and was totally floored.

Sweet, in the ‘orange’ range of sweet. Spicy, like a great Thai sauce, not Tabasco. The underlying aftertaste was ‘likker, not a tame liquor.

This stuff just needed a breather. Thankfully I have 3 more tins of that vintage.

Outstanding blend!!!

Now smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1984 medium bend black grain etched Savinelli Non Pareil 9310 poker with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem. Watching Hopalong Cassidy.

Almost half way through this bowl of Angler's Dream in a slight bend 1984 Stanwell Antique 124 grain etched with a smooth front with a black vulcanite stem. Might have another smoke, depending on Suzy and Molly, who I just fed. They like to play after I give them their late night snack.
