2021 MacBaren Balkan. This is a new one for me and so far it is very enjoyable. I like this a lot. This was released as a replacement for Vintage Syrian. No, it's not the same blend. A little less latakia, perhaps because Cyprian is a more potent and fresher version of latakia. Similar casing as Vintage Syrian, but a bit different. Has the trademark MacBaren tart/sweet Virginias with their signature Kentucky as a small, but necessary player. Clean, crisp finish. It's not trying to be Vintage Syrian, it's it's own thing. I highly recommend this one as a medium Balkan.
Enjoy & happy birthday to yas. ️The birthday tin escapades continue...

@jbfrady Happy birthday!
Happy birthday & enjoy. ️Birthday this week. Decided to crack open a tin of Vanners by Fribourg & Treyer. This particular tin was purchased mid-year 2008, making it a Bush era tin. This came from roughly the same time I lit up my first pipe, as a freshman undergrad at a Christian college in rural SC.
I didn't know who the hell I was or what the hell I was doing. Still, there's something reminiscent and calming about a historic blend made in that era, in that moment. Part of me thinks it was a simpler time, while the rest of me thinks that that's what everybody always thinks.
