Out of no where a couple weeks ago, 2 tins of this showed up at my local b&m. Immediately purchased them. Very worth it. Started out a little basic but about 2/3 of the way in, wow did it open up. The virginias really sweetened and danced well w/ the perique. Very pleasant smoke for sure. Thanks again for the review.

Hey Brian, this is probably one I would like. If I manage to get lucky sometime and find it I would probably purchase it. But that isn't too likely. Love the pipe, will be looking for it when it comes up. I'm currently smoking some London Flake in a Doran Poker. What a good combination. I kind of forgot how good the London Flake is. I am ordering more. Have a good one.

Yes sir that London Flake is a favorite of mine I’m glad you like it I was just out here sitting inside my pontoon starring smoking my pipe lmao

I’m smoking some 2018 H&H anniversary kake. It’s gooood. So this video reminded me to grab my jar of Dorchester. And the kake and the Dorchester smell a lot alike. The kake a stronger smell though. Good stuff

I found 2 tins at my local shop. I bought both at around $30 each I don't know if that was a good price but I smoked one of the tins and like you said it was good but I don't know if it is worth chasing or not. The other tin I'll probably hang on to just to have it and see what a few years of shelf time does to it.

Dunbar didn't do anything for me. I ended up trading it away. Have you tried Esoterica Woodbridge? I have an unopened bag but I don't think I will like it. Thanks for the review Brian. Have a great rest of the week .

I've never had the chance to try any of these unicorn blends. I started smoking pipe just a few years ago. Theres a few blends I wish I had stocked up on while they were available but at the time I didn't even know what I liked yet. You've really got me wanting to try that McClelland 40th anniversary though. Some day I'll get my hands on some of these hard to get blends.
