There are Wilke blends in JimInks regular rotation. That’s a fairly solid endorsement.
After trying probably 20 of their blends, my favorites were 400, 72, and High Hat. Smoky Chocolate gets a very honorable mention.
I used to love it. Wouldn’t even consider a blend unless it had it. Now I might smoke Bob’s or some Presby or one of the many Wilke blends I have from years ago but it’s maybe 3 times per year I want Latakia.
So weird how our tastes change and evolve. I’m not gonna ditch all my Lat because...
Currently 12°F in Nashville, TN. Absolutely no wind.
It’s silent and everything is covered in snow. It’s beautiful and I’m all bundled up, outside, under my carport, smoking HU Flanagan in this Sav Foresta and loving it.
What We Do In The Shadows (which is bloody hilarious) has a main character, Laszlo, who holds a pipe sometimes in the show. Very much a prop as it’s always an unsmoked basket pipe which is why I never take pics of it and post em here.
I’m so curious if all this energy and time will, in the end, actually yield a blend that the majority loves.
I feel like it won’t but maybe that’s not the point.
Carry on.
