yes Russ did an excellent job! I was just taken back on the bite of it and i have smoked it many times in 3 different pipes too. Same thing happens. I cannot wait to try Russ'sBengal Slices blend!

As a new smoker, my first attempt at smoking Black House was a little overwhelming. After sampling a couple of other English/Latakia blends, the subsequent sampling of Black House confirmed it as a new favorite - it's staying in the general rotation (I'll be etching one of my storage jars, rather than just sticking on a label...).

I got one tin in my last order and absolutely love it. Now the only problem is figuring out how many more I can order while aquiring a summer VA stock.

well after a partial week hiatus from BH I must so I did not get the bite I was getting initially - still needs more latakis for my tastes but no Bite so it swill be one of my favorites so far.
am curious how this relates or how the following relate to BH and also Balkan supreme:
McClellands #14 oriental green label, fusiliere rations and frog morton and from morton cellars - also the full balkan mcClellands cyprian latakia blends.
I know bengal slices but how doe FR do?
I also used to smoke the heaviest McCleeland's many years ago but do not remember the #.
thank you.

I'm still loving Black House. In fact I have a pretty cool Black Blood picture I need to put in my signature. Just gotta figure out how. I personally describe it as having a cool smoky flavor... and my girlfriend love the smell of it. I'm a lucky man.

After perusing this thread, I feel like the only appropriate course of action for me now is thus:
Time to pack up a nice big bowl of black house. :puffy:

+1 slownumbers. Also, are you a Morphine fan? The band, not the pharmy. You know, Mark Sandman and such.

I love Black House. Have several 1 pint mason jars of it and a pound in a large sealed tobacco jar. None the less, I've been smoking mostly Virginia stuff these days.
Problem is I have too many tins open now and need to smoke them up before getting back to some of the favorites like FMOTT, Black House, etc.
What a great time to be a pipe smoker!

Just saw this post. Yeah, I really like their music, it is quite different, not for everyone. I have not played any for quite a while and I was thinking about them just last week. I had to think for a minute how you figured that out, then I went DOH! Too bad that they have disbanded, I think they were just getting going and would have loved to see where they might have gone if not for the death of Sandman.
