A great, cool - smoking mixture for a crisp fall day. This mild to medium bodied Latakia blend has plenty of exotic, fragrant Orientals to add depth and complexity, with enough Virginias to bring in a hint of sweetness. The cut of the tobacco and the amount of Cyprian Latakia have been blended to keep the blend from getting too hot while smoking outdoors in the cool, autumn breeze. The flavor and aroma are perfectly suited to the chilly temperatures because of its smoky, comforting fragrance.

Yummy blend. I will say this has a bit of spicy kick to it but not in a bad way. Opening note is that lovely smell of Latakia and Virginia blending. This stuff is super dry so light up was a breeze. Right out of the bowl you get sweet and smoky. This burns pretty fast so try a large bowl but burns so darn cool. The taste and flavor are outstanding. Sweet mixed with smoky and a little oriental spicy kick. This blend you could smoke for the entire day. Flavor and taste to the end albeit more spicy as you neR the end of the bowl. The room aroma almost smells like a cigar is being smoked. Very pleasing. I really like this blend and will be ordering more. If you enjoy Latakia and a spicy smoke you should absolutely love this one. Four stars for me!
