Weather here has either been too cold to want to smoke outside. Cold and rainy or warn and rainy. I haven't smoked a stick or bowl in almost two weeks. Lounges around me are closed and I don't want to be in public that much anyhow.
I have so many tins I want to pop...
Popping the lid on a 2017 tin of Stonehenge Flake.
Just found out that an old shipmate of mine (and fellow pipe smoker) was the duty section leader onboard BONHOMME RICHARD last Sunday, so he played a significant role in fighting the fire and quite possibly saving the ship. Cracking this bad boy to send to him...
You never really feel like anything real is going to happen during your in port duty...you go through the motions wishing it done. That duty section saved the ship. BZ to your friend.
I just popped the jar of Sutliff Field and Stream match. It smells great and the reviews look good. I have a little salad dressing Tupperware with it in there and my MM Eaton waiting for me to get done work and have a nice rewarding smoke on the way home.

2007 GL Pease Abingdon.
Opened an 8oz can of Haunted Bookshop. My first of this blend. Smoked three pipes worth while mowing the lawn and after. I liked it. Not as much as some, but it will be smoked.
Sutliff Ready Rubbed 2oz bag from Smoking Pipes. It smells amazing! It will be my morning smoke today.
Briarworks Back Down South, with a couple years of age on it. Great VAPer, especially if you like it a bit heavy on the perique content.

I cracked some four and a half year old St Bruno Flake a few nights ago.

Tin or pouch? I've never seen tins of it. If pouch, how well does it store over that time?

Tin. I believe the pouch is only ready rubbed, whereas the tin is the flake version.

Never seen it in tins. Only ever seen pouches over here
That's because we're fancier over on this side of the pond

That's why we ship you all the Esoterica stuff that's too fancy for us to buy, and you ship us cobs
You guys may be the lucky ones.That's why we ship you all the Esoterica stuff that's too fancy for us to buy, and you ship us cobs
Thats a fact...cobs are cheaper and always live up to the hype, Esoterica...sometimes...
No one cracking any new tins? I finished up a jar of haunted bookshop and cracked a tin of macbaren golden extra. Looked at the date... August 2014 
. Smells amazing and tastes pretty good for a lighter blend.

I’ve got way too many tins cracked as it is. I’m trying to finish one off before cracking a new one, but my resolve is waning.
