A couple years now that I've been after an Aldo Velani Ultima with split stem, for no apparent reason when I got back from work I wound up on ebay and within minutes found, bid, and won one. I'm still trying to pare down but this one had been on my mind a while and it all fell into place and stayed under my $20 budget. Should clean up nicely.

Almost, it's split down the middle after the saddle. Thanks, been after one and this shape works for me.

Picked up 1lb of Yorktown & 4oz of latakia (to dress up a couple blends) today. Feels like I've been waiting for Yorktown to come back in stock forever and I only have a couple oz tucked away

After burning through a pouch of Lane Ltd Ready Rubbed in a week, I decided I must like it. Ordered a pound, and also a pound of Lane Burley Light Without Bite. Summer smokables.
