Haha even 20% higher, their blends are still a great price for the quality. On par with eso, gawith, or anyone else for less cash.For sure, Dockworker is one of my favorites, definitely top 5. Only 2 flakes left in my stash, and the Esterval price just jumped 20%.
Well awesome man, you fit in great here. I love the humor and insight that you add! Cheers!Haha nah I just joined in 2019. I went at it lone wolf for years before that. ?

Totally agree with this. HU is definitely one of my favorite houses! Have any of you tried their anniversary blend? It’s topped with balsamic vinegar... truly delicious in my opinion. That is one more I really need to stock up on. Once I get about 10 more tins of that one, I’ll be done for good, except for trying out some new tins here and there.
I notice the clay pipes in the background - do you ever smoke them?
I couldn't agree more. It's the most bang for the buck I've found. Sure, there's good stuff out there for 2 bucks/ounce, but HU is worth every extra penny, IMO, and it's still cheaper than most stuff like GLP.
Full Virginia Flake in a Stanwell 86.
Just got a tin of that in my last order. Excited to try it, but popped the Makhuwa first.
Yup. If someone put a gun to my head and said “PICK ONE BLENDER FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF S**T!!!!”
I would instantly say HU. But you can take a knee cap if I can add McClelland VAs.
Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and am a third of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.
G&H Dark Flake Scented in a Stanwell Army Mount Pot shape 45.
Germains Virginia Cavendish in my new to me Jeanette Prod . 1807 brush carved billiard. I think I will dedicate it as a non English, non Aro pipe. Virginia’s, VaBur’s, Navy Flakes, VaOr’s, just no Latakia basically. 
How do you like the VA/CAV? I have an unopened tin kicking about...
It’s a pretty basic smoke. Nothing mind blowing. Not overly sweet. For sure has a distinct Germain’s flavor to it. Maybe the thin ribbon shag cut has something to do with it. I also like the Royal Latakia (purple tin). Same base with Latakia. Again has that Germain essence to it.
HU Nashville County in a BBB Own Make Virgin 636.
Watch City Rhythm and Blues in a Stanwell DM 2002 ring blast pot.
Now smoking Watch City Off the Rails in a medium bend raw sienna toned early Radice sandblast egg with bamboo carving on the shank and a black acrylic saddle stem. Have enough left for a bowl or so. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
2006 Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky in a Scott Thie Bulldog.
