Not sure since this bowl is about half 2015. This particular bowl is quite nice tho.Quote:

For example, the pepper is noticeable now. It wasn't when it was fresh. Red Rap has Cavendish too but it's tasty in spite of it. Maybe it's got a Virginia based Cavendish or something instead of Green River burley. Burley, in any form, is a curse to Virginia tobacco. It belongs on its own. I can appreciate a bowl of Five Brothers, but keep it out of my Virginia blends. That's my take on it anyway.
Good to see you around again, Brandon.
Spent the earlier part of a beautiful Sat. a.m. with a meerful of Virginia Gold Black and Gold, jarred since 2014, and some percolated Maxwell House coffee :)
Enjoying a bowl of Strang in the homemade pickaxe.

But when done poorly, it can be pretty blah.

Puffing Gordon Pym in my Tinsky brandy. An unusual and tasty English mixture.

I celebrated Easter, and the end of Lent, by opening a tin of 2017 McClelland Celebrated Sovereign.
It's a tasty, mild English.
Also had a few bowls of C&D Opening Night.
I don't like a lot of their Virginias, but this one is nice.
