Mark’s Melange* in an Ashton Oldchurch XXX Straight Billiard.
* I’m one of those who like to tweek nearly every other bowl and end up with maybe a1/4 bowl of leftovers each time. This Melange has hit the wonderous stage.

It contains touches of these: Bijou, Regent Flake, 5100, FVF, SJF, CC2008, Viprati, Curly Block, and a bit of rare Perique and Turkish Basma.

This particular Melange won’t be recreated, but there’s about 4 bowls of it and I’ll sip it till it’s gone.
