Pakastani Cones and mystery paste.....oh boy something to play with

My friend recently came back from Pakistan. As asked he brought me henna. In fact it is mystery mix paste in the oddest looking hand rolled cone I have ever seen. The cone is about 10-11 inches long. It has a tiny metal tip in it that is plugged with a sewing pin. It is hand rolled from the tiny tip to an end which is about and 1 1/2" across. Holding it from the back with my left hand and guiding it with my right is the only way I could come close to any control with this very long and top heavy cone. I have used a little on a paper towel and have some clogging and hand fatigue issues. I will have to split one of the three cones he brought back for me and see how it works in a carrot bag. He had the good sense to refrigerate it but it is about 2week old paste. I'll tell you how it works after a test patch. Fortunately I don't smell anything suspicious. It smells a lot from the eucalyptus oil.
