Just opened a can of RL Orcilla Mixture. I do like it but wish there was no latakia. It's lightly applied, but still pops through like truffle oil in food. Yuck
Embarcadero is the ticket for me.
Ordered a bunch of Strang from Motzek. Have been thoroughly enjoying the prep work it takes cutting up little coins. I stack sometimes and others create more of a ribbon. Both are different and awesome.
I like ropes. They're old school.
Gents, I have 2 of his pipes. 1 bamboo and 1 regular. Both straight grained. They sit right next to my Parks and Rads. They are extremely nice. Small and light with an ample bowl. Never had a bad smoke from them yet.
Both Pipes came within 2 weeks with no issues.
