>>2730597Man i put off early morning pipe for 10 years of pipe smoking and love it, I haven't tried Presbyterian and i fear it might be a similar experience. Next order i might get some, i hope it sucks.
>>2730410I have been having a hard time with Sutliff Sobranie Original Match, i find its difficult to light and keep lit, even woth plenty of drying. The latakia is so damn chunky, even rubbing it out a bit doesnt help. Also there is a lot of latakia that is close to dust or flour. I dont know if my batch from 4noggins was bottom of the barrel but its quite difficult. When i do get a good cadence going its incredible, i really enjoy the orientals. I wish i could have a blend with basically the same orientals and virginias but maybe half as much latakia. Again, i dont know if i got bottom of the barrel but my batch is about 50% latakia. Picrel is the smokingpipes image for the blend and mine is really 2x as much latakia as this at least.
