My once a day, everyday smoke now that this blend is aged...

My simple anytime blend when aged for a minimum of 1 year happens too also be one of my top 10 favorites:

C&D Bayou Night 60% and Lane Burley & Black 40% aged just over 1 year. I smoke this like a FREIGHT TRAIN and absolutely NO bite. I pack the pipe firm 3/4 of the way and get close to a 60 minute very enjoyable smoke.

Pipe of choice: Savinelli Series III UNFINISHED BILLIARD pipe. Has 11 huge fills but it's a superb smoking pipe. I did finish the briar with Bee's wax and mineral oil mixture. I've smoked this pipe over 300 times and the briar now developed a dark chocolate color. But the fills still stand out.

KEEP ON PUFFING!!!
 
Recently opened a tin of 2006 for the New Year:
GLP Cumberland

Pipe of choice: Aldo Velani dark brown sandblasted Brandy bowl with an oval shank and wide saddle stem. One of my top 20 favorite pipes!!

KEEP ON PUFFING!!!
