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

[mso489]

Home mix of GLP Westminster (Lat depleted, last of tin), MacB's Latakia Flake, and a hefty pinch of CD Izmir Turkish, as the first bowl in a Rossi Palermo 404 zulu/yacht; this is a good blend if you have any somewhat comparable ingredients, mild but flavorful; the pipe is an excellent smoke right off the blocks. The 404 shape is the classic Italian interpretation of the zulu, light weight but with plenty of bowl, a good clencher for sure.
