Working on my first ever bowl of Troost Special Cavendish for Tobias' OTC review thread. The quality is really excellent for an OTC I must say!

Room note is great.
Have you ever had Captain Black Royal? I haven't but I've seen some reviews compare it to that.
Also I heard a guy on one of the forums that mixes it equal parts with Carter Hall. I think I'm going to try that soon.

Just ate an absolutely delicious dinner of herb roasted chicken, mashed yams with butter and salt and pepper, and roasted rosemary asparagus. With my belly full I now sit reclined, smoking some GLP Odyssey in a Bjarne Viking and drinking a glass of Glenlivet 12 year old.
Life don't get much better than this...

Mixture #1001B (jarred 8-19-14) in a 1985 Ser Jacopo Renaissance #316 sandblast lovat.
This batch is about done and if this bowl jibes with yesterday's then a larger batch will be made (but does it need 7 months in the jar?).
Stonehaven in a 1984 black sandblasted straight Dunhill Shell 4103 Billiard. Not much left. Smoking this bowl in honor of my friend, cartoonist Irwin Hasen, who died today at age 96. He drew the Justice Society, Flash, Green Lantern, Wildcat, and the long running newspaper strip, Dondi. RIP, Irwin.
Nice to see you're still at it, PeteQuote:

2014 Newminster #400 Superior Navy Flake in a 1983 James Upshall BX straight grain billiard saddle with a gold band.
The Newminster isn't bad tobacco but I can't consider it Superior. Chocolate top note that I'm not keen on either.
This James Upshall is the only BX (better X) that they ever produced and it was the first pipe that they engraved. Previously they used hand stamps before being given the New Hermes engraving machine. Tilsheads (2nds) continued to be hand stamped.
Reamed this Upshall tonight and it was much needed and it was a bear.
37 degrees here on the porch in Huntington. Humid air feels colder but I saw the bubbler in the fish pond working so I have fingers crossed on the fish having survived this brutal winter.
