That Irish flag band....is that a St.Patrick's Day model? I used to have a '98 St. Patrick's Day with that same band, but it had a lighter, smooth finish.

Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures King Black in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic saddle stem. Have enough left for a bowl or so.
Last bowl of the day, some CRF 2015 in a Lakatosh freehand Dublin. Wanted to see how it compares to this year's. May be my tongue but I don't tell much difference, very good, both. The knife is a NIB 2005 Case Kentucky Bluegrass mini stockman I scored recently. I do love Case pocketknives!

Rajah's Court in a homemade Dublin.

Frog is classic & of course highly desirable. Gone baby gone now, but still available if you know where go & are willing to pay the price. Fortunately a lot of good blenders still out there even if McClelland is no more.

For example: I used to miss Frog Morton's Cellar a lot more before I found SPC's Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel.
Moving on to Stonehenge in a Pete System 302. Listening to Bauhaus "In The Flat Field" with the Grado SR225 cans. Instead of a pipe pic, here's the Halloween witch scene I spent the afternoon making in preparation for our annual pumpkin carving contest party tomorrow.

I believe it’s a St. Patrick’s Day, but there isn’t any stamping that says it. The stamping is nice and crisp, so it wasn’t there to begin with.
AJ’s VaPer (2014) in an 1898 Peterson Patent Bulldog with P-Lip. I popped this tin today and am glad I did. Cardboard “tins” aren’t built for deep cellaring in my experience and the tobacco is currently perfect, but it would be all downhill from here.
C&D Sansepolcro in a IMP Lattice Acorn.
Rattray’s Hal O’ The Wynd from 2013 in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Baker Street
Had some Log Cabin Blend mixed with Pegasus in an MM Natural Mark Twain.
I dunno. I've popped open H&H tins from 2008 and later that held up just fine. In fact, the eight ounce can of Rolando's Own I've been smoking was made in 2012, and the tobacco has been perfect in it. Since the tins are food grade, I'm not worrying about them as long as I keep them in the house at room temperature.
About a quarter of a bowl left of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Been watching the World Series via telephone with a good friend and fellow reviewer at TR, Big Train.

I’ll gladly be corrected. Thanks. I have six more tins, so I was worried.
It's the silver bottom tins you have to worry about.
