It is a good job you are into the Medieval period. If you had been into WW2 reenactment you might have remodeled your bathroom to look like the one in the Fuhrer bunker

Third Way through my first bowl of St.Bruno Flake. Great Smoke!
May I ask, is the Vanilla Roll Cake similar to the MacBaren Classic Flake?
Open a cabinet and find some opened tins after a temporary break from smoking. Soooo....some Danish M on bottom and Germain's BF on top. Smoking my Ashton pot for this warm Friday morning. Light roast coffee with Italian sweet cream creamer.
Notes of Matured leather, earth, hickory, lavender, citrus, and dry almonds, with a sourness unique to DM in my mind.

Match My Mixture 965 PC in a Bob Hayes straight Dublin, rusticated, with bamboo stem. I think this is now called Mixture 20, to avoid trademark conflict, and it is a good match. Some might like it a little better. The late Bob Hayes sold me this pipe during the last hour of the TAPS pipe show at the N.C. State Fairgrounds for about a third its usual asking price. He was an award winning N.C. pipe carver with an interesting military and career history, a good guy.
mso - Do you find the Match 965 to be much different from the Peterson’ version? I never had the opportunity to try the original DH 965 but I like the Peterson version. I’ve got a bit cellared but I’d like to have more and I’m wondering if buying Match 965 might be a good way to go?
It's been a while since I've smoked the Dunhill 965, and though I have several of the former Dunhill blends by Peterson, I don't have 965. So I'm going from memory. The Dunhill and Peterson versions are made by the same people, so they are the same except for variations in yearly sourcing of tobaccos and aging. By the best of my recollection, the Dunhill version was perhaps a little more subtle and complex, but this Match is maybe more lively and flavorful, but the differences are not obvious.
Incidentally, I went back to my posts on the late Bob Hayes who died in 2017 and found that he was the son-in-law of the Tarlers who founded C&D, so was a pipe person in that way too. He was a linguist with the Army and had quite a life story. He spoke German and Russian, so could communicate easily with pipe carvers from those countries.

About a quarter of a bowl left from a first production tin (2013) of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
I agree with you spicy, sweet and sour definition, but I don't find anything in there are to remind me of cabbies mixture, nor do i detect any perique. But often do in some other tobaccos that don't list perique as an ingredient.
Cornell and Diehl Old Joe Krantz brown label in a Svend Bang. 
Amphora Original Blend in a Stanwell Dublin.
Just finished smoking year 2014 HU Sunset in a straight 1924 Dunhill’s “Shell Briar” patent pot 7 with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Going walking with a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.
First bowl of Fribourg and Treyer Cut Blended Plug, really delicious, maybe i will turn into a Virginia smoker.
I’m smoking Cringle Flake 2020 In a no name meer and sipping sweet tea. We’re having a mixed bag of weather. Rainy one minute and sunny the next.
Nice piece of wood.
Well, late on the breakfast pipe again, but giving the other new guy a first run with some PS LBF. Stanwell 83. I find them to be good smokers at reasonable prices. More than likely stick with these as new pipe purchases until I get one for every day of week. This should be fun ?
Royale is freakin awesome. Omega is another good English by LJP.
