Larry’s Blend by Russ Ouellette’s Hearth and Home

By Ramon | Published: May 21, 2009

Blender’s description: “Larry Loerzel, one of our regular store customers, and connoisseur of English/Balkan blends had tried Ten to Midnight, and although he liked it, he was looking for something a little fuller and different. Based on his preference, we blended a full, traditional Balkan using Orientals that were more “buttery” and amped-up the Latakia. This blend is now a big hit among our full-bodied English fans; a cool-smoking, very rich mixture.”

Daybreak by Hearth and Home – Russ Oullette

By eric | Published: April 29, 2009

After receiving some calls and emails from members of the New York Pipe Club lamenting the loss of Dunhill’s Early Morning Pipe, we wanted to develop a blend with similar characteristics to EMP. After a number of “tweaks”, we sent a sample to the club, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. We’re now making it available to the general public. Try this traditional English mixture of sweet Virginias, fragrant Orientals and rich, smoky Latakia.

Classic Burley Kake by Russ Ouellette – Video

By eric | Published: April 23, 2009

We start with four different types of Burley, the aforementioned Tennessee and Kentucky, plus two different premium white Burleys. Then we add a red Virginia for a maple-like sweetness. Then we use all-natural flavors- cocoa, rum and anise and steam the tobaccos with the flavorings and firmly press and slice it.

A great sweet and spicy blend containing two different Red Virginias and a good amount of outstanding St. James Perique. The rich, round sweetness of the Virginias are complimented by the plum and pepper hints of the cool-burning Perique. An overwhelming favorite of our local pipe club members.
