As a reborn, serious pipe smoker, English Latakia-forward blends are my pipe-puffing preferences. All things English, I even start my day with Lakeland blends , in a dedicated pipe of course... I'm a die hard American, but am very European at heart... All things considered, I do love the Brits and most of their ways... Mine is an ever changing, evolving palate, but for now-The Isle's have it!!!
