Sigmund The next Master Blender.Im messing with blends to come up with a Lat blend I have in my head. Right now its a mix of half a flake of HH Latakia flake, a couple of pinches HU Turrkeh and a nice pinch of Fayyum kake. Its definitely the direction I want to be going.
Its in a Caminetto.

its been a bad day for me with pipes too, finally got my hands on a dunhill 021 redbark that’s been on my list for a long time to get it and the tenon broke on the stemI bought a 264 Aran smooth today. Sadly, it was as if there was no draft hole. I couldn’t get a hint of air through the pipe. So I returned it
That happened to me not long ago. The lucky part is it was a basket pipe and went in the trash. A replacement stem would cost more than the new price.its been a bad day for me with pipes too, finally got my hands on a dunhill 021 redbark that’s been on my list for a long time to get it and the tenon broke on the stem
