Thanks! I am still in the courting phase with latakia blends right now. I enjoy Black Frigate, but only every now and again. I tried Gaslight again after initially hating it and thoroughly enjoyed it...for a latakia blend. I am not sure if I will make that a latakia pipe. We shall see. Maiden voyage may take some time. It is so hard for me to smoke nicer pipes.
I'm not a latakia expert by any means, but I do enjoy some in the colder months. You've been playing with some rather unique latakia blends. Gaslight is a lat bomb, and Black Frigate is a rather musty smoke. Maybe try a classic Balkan blend, like Hearth and Home's WhiteKnight or GLPs Black Point or Abington. Or not, ha ha. Just offering a few balanced Balkans, but I also use my pot-shaped pipes for classic burleys also.
I did like Arango Balkan Supreme once and really liked it. I will dig that out today and give it another try.
Man, my typing is horrible this morning. I meant, "I did TRY Arango Balkan"
weird. I prefer bents but have lately been feeling an urge to get a classic straight 1950's father billiard.
Same for me. I have been highly invested in researching Lovat and Canadian pipes.
Prince is the best shape and therefore my favorite. You'll love it. Good looking pipe, too. Enjoy!
I love my Lumberman. It's a great pipe. Thinking of getting another one.
