Second sample is GH Reunion No27 Perique Flake, another nice smoke but pretty light on the Perique. I’m gonna need more to make a proper opinion though.

Limited my selection for the day.
Getting started with some Mick McQuaid RR in the Republic Era Dublin Churchwarden.
This is a Galaher plug, so it's a bit different than the current Polish production. I was blessed by the @condorlover1 himself with this lil brick of hard-to-find magic. I find the long cut flake to be quite a bit milder in both topping and nicotine punch. The plug is jet black and very dense, so I believe it stays in the hot press quite a bit longer. Long cut burns more like a typical Lakeland, where the plug takes a bit more care to keep lit.You’ve got a proper tribute to the day right there. How’s the Condor Plug compared to the Flake? It’s not available here for some reason.

I remember those Year 2000 bits from Conan. They were usually pretty good. The ones that always got me dying were the Pimpbot 5000 segments. I nearly fell off the couch I was laughing so hard the first time I saw him pull out a switchblade and threaten to cut Conan. I may not have been entirely sober.More connoisseur Scottish Ribbon from the year 2000 (Conan anyone?) from my Pre Republic Made In Ireland Peterson Premier Selection shape 260. Happy St Pat’s!
