   Russ Ouellette is my MAIN MAN ! In this interview he seems very much “in his element.”

   There are so many great, creative blenders out there, Tarler, Pease, Runowski, Gottlieb… the list could go on, I’m sure I’ve overlooked several of the popular ones. But to me, Ouellette has a natural flair for the field — it’s something he seems very comfortable with. I just love those blends of his that target my favorite genres.

   I’ve already checked out H&H blends at the PipesAndCigars website, and the new blends: Sweet & Savory, Log Cabin, and Magnum Opus are not yet available on line in either tins or bulk. But I’m so excited I can hardly wait!

   Thanks for a great interview and the heads-up info it provides.

    Great to actually see Russ Ouellette in the new video. A master artisanal blender, to be sure, and I greatly enjoy his blends, especially his Anniversary Kake. This blend is a mixture of a range of Virginias (Reds, Lemons and Browns), combined with good amount of St. James Perique. The blend is then heat-treated and pressed. I expect this Krumble Kake to age well, on account of the highly sugared Virginias, and so have committed quite a bit for the cellar. Thanks for bringing this video on line, and thank Russ for your fine blends. Happy smoking.

    Never tried any of Russ’s blends, but he got my attention here.
    Actually just started buying from his employer.
    Going to have to see if his palate and mine agree.
    Should be a fun.
