Jim, that's good to know, as I bought this some months ago, but still unopened. I read up on it, and figure that included your review. I liked the high perique content. I'll still let it sit awhile.

Well, it was a long day, and I'm easing out of it with a bowl of GLP Temple Bar. This is newly opened, and oddly when putting my nose to the tin and cracking the tab to open, I got an unmistakable slight natural vanilla smell, then stronger fruity smells from the Virginias. Having some now in a MM Pride raw cob. This was kind of my reward tobacco, and I passed on the Peterson Perfect Plug due to price per weight. I still wasn't dissuaded from part of my quest, because you guessed it (Zippo), it is a plug, and I had fun slicing my thinnest layers of tobacco yet with my posh knife 
. The 3P will have to wait for my next 4noggins order.

That stuff has been some of the best easy smoking tobacco I've had. I can pack it pretty good and hard, and it never goes out-just seems to simmer giving good tasty smoke.

Pre dinner smoke of SPC Mississippi River in the Sav 320EX. Soon as this is done it's official to walk Augustas.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm closing in on the half way mark on this bowl of year 2016 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Phillies game, and getting ready to clean a few pipes.

I would say this blend does benefit from some age. Of course, I say that about a lot of VaPers, especially those like this one which has 25% perique. You might lose a little spice, but you'll gain a little more fruitiness.

A third of the way through this bowl of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Watching the Dodgers-Padres game.

Enjoyed a big, very tasty golden delicious apple, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

That's the boy EZ, keep going mate, and she will end up with buying you a Dunhill or two

Good morning,
Smoking a Caminetto rusticated straight billiard with MB Golden extra and a mug of Community coffee. I have to drive out East later this morning and pick up a dozen wheelchairs from our main K of C warehouse and deliver them to a rehab facility for retired Priests and Nuns.

It's a stellar morning here with cooler temps after a nice rain yesterday. It settled lots of dust and just in time for Fall color. Did some plug shaving with that new knife on the GLP Temple Bar, and got some 1/32 to 1/16 slices. Let them dry about an hour, rubbed a few out, but didn't have the heart to completely fluff them up. Thinking Pease intended for them to stay in layers as pressed, I gathered the remaining slivers and folded and stuffed them in my Savinelli Trevi 320EX, added the rest as kindling, and am enjoying the multi layers of taste as the bowl progresses. I am truly thankful for BoB's impressions on blends, those who write reviews in TR, and G.L. Pease for his passion for producing such good tobacco blends, especially in plugs and at reasonable prices. I even caught the family cat going after the tobacco. Count me a solid GLP guy.

Good morning fellow BoBs. Just finished up some Hobbits Weed in the Don Carlos bent brandy and my 2nd mug of coffee while cuddling Augie. Wifey took Augie for a walk. Tons of birdies out today. Doves finches wrens, towhees , sparrows, hummers, and a couple I'm not sure of, maybe grosbeaks. Waiting for roofers to show up.

About a third of a bowl left of year 2014 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.
Great Post, WTG Swede.
Just got back from delivering wheelchairs, Time for some MB 7 seas regular in a Beraldi bent acorn and a mug of Community coffee, the weather here has gotten ugly. Wind kicking up and dark clouds rolling in.
