Capstan blue flake... never gave it a go before so ill likely check it out later this eve if things shake out. If not there's always tomorrow.
Cracked open this jar of Briar Works Country Lawyer, a new to me blend. Smoking it in the Altinok Meer, the 2015 PSD POY.
Unfortunately cracked a tin of 2010 Wessex Dark Flake. Received it without a vacuum.
Just cracked a tin of C&D Briar Fox the other day. I've had one cellared for a few years and had never actually tried the blend. I wanted to crack one to see if it is worth stocking up on. The jury is still out after two bowls...I'll probably smoke through the tin before making any decisions.
Cracked a tin of Cult Blood Red Moon, a dented tin I received in a TobaccoPipes Random Tin deal. This is my first ever smoke of the CBRM. I'm not a big aro fan, but I do smoke a few now and again. My last big bite at the cherry tobacco was over 50 years ago with Paladin Black Cherry. My memory is that didn't go so well. We shall see!
I’m not a big aro fan either, but IMO Cult BRM is a surprisingly good Cherry aro. Let us know what you think.
For me, it smells of cherry in the tin, but I don't really get much in the smoking.
I like it.
I like it.
I've never smoked it either but do have a tin or two somewhere 
My observations on Cult Blood Red Moon:
The tin note is strong. Cherry with an edge of something medicinal, perhaps cherry flavored cough syrup? A bit overpowering.
Fortunately, most of that smell disappears in the smoke. I found CBRM an enjoyable smoke given it's an aro. Not an everyday smoke for me, but it scratches the aro itch. I don't know if I'll buy more, that remains to be seen.

Cracked a tin of Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader this week...Have another vacuum sealed in the cellar.
Should have tried this years ago. Very nice blend, smokes well! The second bowl was in a cob while shoveling the driveway (just an inch of heavy snow, needed a reason to smoke a pipe LOL), never got hot when puffing away, tasted good all the way down.

Remember to forget me!
Four 12.5g Mylar pouches ripped open to replenish my jars.
Coniston Cut Plug
Firedance
Grousemoor
No.7 Broken Flake
Plus a pouch of Kendal House (a molasses cav aro) is now poised to replenish an aromatic jar, which has just got a few scraps in (about 1/3 of a bowl)
