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 500
times and the briar now developed a dark chocolate color. But the fills still stand out.



KEEP ON PUFFING!!!

Most likely my last pipe of the day:

Recently finished a tin of C&D Burley Flake #3 dated 2016, was not that impressed with the overall flavor and complexity of this Burley blend compared to some of the earlier releases, like the 2009 & 2010. What are theses youngin's doing to the C&D blends in the last 1.5 to 2 years.

Well, guess I'm pissed because I opened another tin of Bijou with mold covering the top. This was a replacement tin that I was reassured " we've changed the balance of the anti-fungal additive to this moist blend, it's now stabilized much better ". Just threw this batch of Bijou in the garbage and will no longer purchase ANY TINNED C&D blends. I'm done with children playing with what was once a reputable manufacturer of fine tobacco's.

Just opened a tin dated 2010:

C&D Burley Flake #3 dated 2010 in my Bjarne medium Apple bowl with a bent wide stem.
