| Tin Description: |
The Zulu – a smoky and earthy Latakia blend. Syrian Latakia is blended with a bit of dark-fired Kentucky, sweet Malawi Burley, Louisiana Perique and spicy Oriental Djebel. The result is a strong and spicy blend with smoky and peaty but slightly sweet and fruity tones. The Zulu – a complex blend for the experienced bon vivant. |

| Today's offerings of latakia-blends seem almost endless, therefore it is pleasing to find something outside the "mainstream".
Zulu is a Latakia dominated blend, however always pleasant and full in taste, with creamy and earthy taste notes. Possibly this is, besides the balancing Burley and Orient, attributed to the Kentucky and Perique, which add to the spicyness of this marvelous blend. Further down the bowl, Zulu shows its full play of tastes and its particular strength, however never overwhelming. A true treat for the Latakia lover, seeking for something outside the mainstream.
Especially recommended along with a good dark stout beer... heavenly...

| The proprietor of HU-Tobacco, Hans Wiedemann, has recently introduced a new line of tobacco's blended in co-operation with the Italian pipe maker Foundation by Musico. Being the big fan I am of his blends, I ordered them all and this is my review of "the Zulu". From the description, you'll notice that there are no virginia's in this blend and his website states that the Latakia percentage is 58%. Yet this does not taste like a Latakia bomb as it is well-balanced by the Burley's and Djebel. Louisiana Perique gives this blend more body and spices up the Syrian variety of Latakia which he uses. Together, it gives a creamy rich smoke which is salty, peaty, slightly sweet and spicy. Burning well in a medium sized pipe, this is another creatively conceived blend that has no peers at the moment. I love it!
