I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. My best wishes to you and your family.I’m smoking some RLP-6 in a late 1920’s Civic Drinkless with Push Stem and Patent Pending Stinger in honor of my uncle that passed away last night. He was an Nobel Laureate in nuclear energy, a pipe smoker and a goddamn good human.

I've converted to fold and stuff for the roll cakes and i find i get better flavor that way and it doesn't burn as hot. There was a video floating around of Per Jensen showing how to do it, it's pretty simple and i get good results. Dunno if you saw it or not but it's pretty helpfulMacBaren Latakia Rolls in a Savinelli Series III lumberman. Gonna have to try folding and stuffing next time. The latakia crumbles into a much finer consistency than the VA and DFK when rubbed which makes it hard to load the pipe with the components in balance.
