[QUOTE="howellhandmade, post: 2221, member: 14"] You know, Jason, I'm with you on the Latakia. The blend does sound great. I went through a period of trying very hard to like Latakia, since it seemed that all the "serious" pipe smokers took it very seriously, but I've tried it plenty now and I just don't. I guess the taste isn't terrible, but it's not what I want from a pipe, and I don't like the smell, especially in the room the next day. It makes my mouth feel dry and rough. When everyone raves about a blend with Latakia, it reminds me of being a kid and trying to like onions. I could stand them cooked, but my parents both loved the crunchiest, rawest, eye-wateringest onions they could get, and they were always trying to sneak them into stuff. I'd say "I want to eat this, but I don't like the onions." They'd first say there weren't any, then that they were cut up really small, just there for the taste. Sigh. I used to dream that I was eating a big, juicy hamburger with a big slab of raw onion on it and loving it. I'd wake up with a sense of relief and optimism, certain that the dream was going to be real, that my next bite of onion was going to be as good as it was in the dream. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
