C&D Yorktown in the Savinelli Roma; and Father’s Day this year meant an upgrade to an Old Boy I’ve been eyeing for months. Loving it so far!
Been reading a lot lately with evening smokes but tonight I’m taking a break and listening to the Göran Söllscher recording of Rodrigo: Concierto de Aranjuez / Albeniz / Barrios / Villa-Lobos

Now smoking year 2014 Uhle’s 00 in a straight smooth brown post-WW2 LHS Purex Superfine 74 Canadian with a metal screw-in tenon and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Been busy giving Sam the Scamp a lot of attention because she seems lost without her daughter. Going to read baseball box scores now.

29 years! You could make an excellent contribution to the thread "Cellaring - How Long is too Long?".
Some have said Orientals & Latakia sort of fade away over time.
I've got couple tins of No. 8 that've been cellared since '06 & I'm not scared.
It’s smoking fantastically well for me! No.8 is very much light on the latakia to begin with, but the base tobaccos as far as I’m concerned have aged quite gracefully.
