2001 Astleys 109 / Thanks PD

[Midnight Blues]

A nice sample of 2001 Astley's 109 arrived at my door today. Big thanks to Jim (Puff Daddy) for this generous offering. This will go nicely with a tall glass of spiced rum latter tonight. Like I said before we have a great group of gents here at the BoB....

how'd that turn out? i had/have a chance to nab a tin of this from '03 and passed on it so far.

Very nice Virginia, rubbed out without fuss and smoked wonderfully. Not as full as Samuel Gawith FVF, not as complex as GL Pease Filmore. All in all just a real nice Virgina tobacco. If the 03' is still available I'd grab it if I were you.

Nice gesture PD! Astley's 109 is a fine VA blend.
