Joe Lankford is the master blender for Seattle Pipe Club, and he enjoys his Virginias with Latakia. He had a favorite blend that went off the market. So, he decides to recreate it. He brings together Red Virginias for this blend with a dose of Balkans. The result is a little naturally sweet with the spicy Balkans. Its smooth, medium bodied, and the room note is pleasantly smoky. You get an exceptional blend from Mr. Lankford that once again breaks the mold.
