Thank you, @Ben.R.C….your pipe collection is one of the highlights of this forum. This is my first spigot, and not my last. Really appreciate the art that is part of this hobby.

It’s a really nice natural easy smoking little strong OTC that I really enjoy too.
1931 Flake in the Orlik Perfect Billiard with morning coffee. Just perfect.
Charatan Rolls in the Barling Meer. After the Cabbie's Mixture, what relief! A pipe of this is like following a beef vindaloo with a chicken korma... this being the night when most Brits mindlessly amuse themselves by simulating battlefield conditions with fireworks to celebrate an unsuccessful attempt to blow up the tobacco-hating King James I (or VI, if you're Scottish), there was a brief alarm in mid-smoke when a spent skyrocket fell on the greenhouse roof. No breakages. Warrior Princess Cassisurata Amberfire Ravenfur Snowclaws continues to slumber peaceably.
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Fed all the ferals while m'lady fed our cats. Abner the Eager is still in the house.
Finally ready to try my HU Delight with 10 or 15% added Perique. I cant remember exactly how much Perique I added but it was at least 10 and no more than 15%. Pipe of choice is a Vauen Bent Egg 4473.
I enjoyed the pouch that I smoked about nine years ago. The fella who sent it to me told me how popular it was, and from what I gathered, there weren't many OTCs around, so I was curious about how things might have changed since then.
Thanks, @PaulTheScandinavian . If there's any more information about OTC availability you'd like to share, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only person here interested in learning more.

The Sportsman keeps chugging along, had Ryback while helping crew in a fabrication job, then I had tacos.
Now enjoying some Samuel Gawith Black XX.

First ride with MB Royal Twist. I’m enjoying the sweet and savory notes I’m picking up. In a Chacom Jurassic poker with water, sans bergs. 
Maple Plum Spice in a 1992 Lee Von Erck.
I really like their Jurassic series. Just wish they were a bit larger.
You must like big bowls! I think my poker is pretty large already haha
Radice Rind with a freshly pressed load of 73s - my version of Plum Pudding, but with Cherry flavoring instead of plum.
He did such fantastic work. I came across one of his unsmoked Hallmark pipes a few years ago that even appears on his Pipedia page.
