Mac Baren HH Vintage Latakia
(2.93)
Choice selections of Virginia, burley, Orient and Latakia from Cyprus are skillfully blended. The Virginia and burley tobaccos support the clearly smoky Latakia note, and the Orient tobaccos add a slight spicy dimension to the overall taste. Like all HH blends it has only an absolute minimum of casing and no top flavour at all - the taste comes from the leaf itself.
Notes: After the stock of Syrian Latakia ran out, Per Jensen wanted to keep this blend around and replaced the Syrian with Cyprian Latakia. The HH Vintage Latakia is a successor of HH Vintage Syrian.

The Vintage Syrian is gone. Forever. This replacer is flat, lacking the woody and sapid facets of the original. I would have preferred that the mixture was interrupted without "escamotage" on the popular name. Stock up as long as you can with the original Vintage Syrian. It will become a myth, because HH Vintage Syrian it's already a myth.
