Me too.I always think of brass….
Jim’s right, I also have 515 cellared from 2021 and it’s the extra rum - have some of the new original on the way as I type according to the post office. And ditto on letting some air a bit - I like it boozy but John tends to have them pretty well soaked which Inthink is great - better then erring the other way, IMO. My No. 125 Terracotta is ready for later (so like cousins, lol) - had I awakened three minutes earlier when they dropped in the middle of the night on SP EU I’d have had the 221, lol, and was hoping to see it somewhere, but by the time I clicked through the buying process it was gone (like a fool I clicked back to make sure I got a free tamper and already had two of them, haha).Going to have Wilke No. 515 in a Peterson’s Pipe of the Year 2021 Terracotta Dutch Billiard (122/500, which I like to think of as a Bizarro World version of a 221B Baker Street numbered edition) 4AB. This tobacco is from December 2021—I’m not sure if this is the true original recipe, or the one that had the oft requested increased rum content that someone mentioned here the other day, before there was the version that was marked as having twice the rum that @JimInks has been smoking lately. It seems pretty heavy on the rum and I suspect I might enjoy it with less rum; there’s an odd sensation on the tongue with this blend. Maybe it’s the booziness.
