Just got back from the Knoxville pipe club meeting. Tonight I had a bowl of GH Kendal Kentucky, followed by a bowl of Peterson's 1865 mixture. Later a friend bought a tin of GLP The Virginia Cream and passed it around. Everyone was impressed with it. If this is an aromatic, then it's the driest one I've ever tried, even fresh. It actually gets better about halfway down the bowl, at least to me.
