2014 Mixture #1011 Pressed in a 1986 Ser Jacopo Renaissance #107 (rusticated) taper billiard.
Found this Virginia base test mixture with just enough remaining for one bowl, so I lit it up without reading my blending notes from last year that said, "Didn't work!", but this sample had been pressed and now had a year of age. The verdict upon lighting..."Bloody Awful!". The pipe slapped me.

2015 Red Ronnett's Sonnett in a 1986 Ser Jacopo R1 Maxima canadian.
Fresh, pre-pressing, we'll see how it does.
The last bowl, the test Virginia base, that started so badly, improved to inoffensive, then tolerable and then it finished well. A (relatively) similar combination is working well in another mixture so the poor start was unexpected. Emphasizes the point that small changes can have impact larger than their size would seem to indicate.

Vintage Prince Albert in a cob. I don't know how vintage, but the can didn't have a UPC symbol so it got to be at least 40+ years old. It's a little dry - in the process of slowly re-moisturizing it. But overall, very smooth, slight sweetness & depth.
You oughta know not to stand by the window, somebody see you up there.
