*** What Are You Smoking?*** (May 2016)

Thanks Andy,
Much appreciated, I will try to seek out those blends. However, from my survey to the market in Egypt. The most available blends are Captain black x 100 then Borkum Riff, then Dunhill 5 choices, then MacBaren's and to be honest I saw nothing else. So, out of those, what do you recommend to break in a new pipe. As I am not sure I can find Flakes easily

Ahmadothman - I would break in your pipes with a Virginia. Nice and smooth and won't ghost like the aromatics or Latakia. If you can use a flake than all the better as it will burn more steadily and at a lower heat.
