Pipes Magazine Interview with Russ Ouellete

The master blender from pipesandcigars who makes such favorites as Anni Kake, Larry's Blend, AJ's Vaper etc.

It's a good read, enjoy

Russ is a great guy. I am glad he is working at Habana.

Thx for the link. I've got a nice plan with some H&H blends, my tax return, and about 4 cases of mason jars...

i'll be the one dissenter here. haven't had a H&H blend that i've thought of stocking up on after going through a tin. they simply haven't tripped my trigger.

i read that interview earlier in the week after Bob posted it on facebook, didn't really reveal too much - maybe because i'm not a fan of his blends and i'm biased... i dunno.
here's hoping part 2 has something interesting in it.

Good stuff there Curly. I love his blends. Some I've tried haven't impressed me but a lot of them do.

BigFrank · 02-14-2010, 08:38 PM

I have yet to try them all but so far I have two that I enjoy.

Just to let you guys know, Parts 2 and 3 are up.

The pictures at the end of the article showing the store is the old location. If you want to see what the upgraded location is here is a link to Habana's photo's.

Second. I went 0-for-2 and never went back for more.

I went about 1.5 for 3 with the H&H blends. One I didnt fall over, another I liked a little, but I rather enjoyed the Sunjammer blend (similar I am told to a 965)
