hi, I would like to try whole leaf for pipe blending. I am open to suggestions on what I should get with a limited budget. I like english and vapers. I am thinking about getting the balkin blend some perique latakia and some viginia, from WLT, any suggestions for a first order? thanks in advance , I have learned a lot reading the forums so far. Pearl of Shibam sounds good but I would also need an oriental. thanks for reading this.
