G. L. Pease - Telegraph Hill 2oz
Okay fresh, quickly improved with age
On having my first bowl I was rather disappointed. That said, I did what I always do with blends that don't live up to expectations and let it cellar for a few months, which did make quite the difference! I find it much richer, like the entire flavor profile has gone up in boldness by a few notches. That said, the second half of the bowl fades quite severely and turns to hot air—not ashy or unpleasant, just not like much of anything. I think I'm going to leave the remainder to cellar for much longer and see how much the second half of the bowl is impacted.

Cornell & Diehl - Steamworks 2oz
My kingdom for a flake...
It's a shame that, if this stellar blend comes back, it'll cost me a few hundred thousand dollars since I'll need a second home purely to store all the tins I'd like to purchase.
