Before HH Syrian became unavailable, I purchased a considerable amount, but have rarely smoked it. For the last few days, I've smoked several bowls and come to the realization that I really enjoy it. I didn't think that I would recognize the difference between Syrian and Cyprian latakia, but there is a distinct subtlety that has become apparent to me.
Nice pipe. Tom Spanu's work has always caught my eye, though I haven't yet got one. Also have a tin of Potlatch I haven't cracked, but now I'm tempted. Enjoy!
