Smoking a Special Blend from a brother, Without giving out amount I will just give the Tobaccos that are in it. Yellow Virginia, Orientals, Red Virginia, Latakia and some Perique. Smoking in a Dr. Grabow. Love this pipe and this TOBACCO. It smokes great in everything I have smoked it in. This tobacco has a Great Finish long lasting. In all honesty I could really cut down on how much I smoke tobacco by smoking this blend 2 times a day. I would be content. My wife loves the smell and while she was smoking a bowl says it is very smooth. For me this is close to House of Lords my Fav however there is no Turkish in this and no Perique in House of Lords so are different beasts. Yummm
