I recently received an old tin of this to sell on my website and I had remembered smoking it a long time ago and was surprised I had not transcribed my notes on TRC. Just sensational, according to my journal. Waves of deeply rich and smoky Latakia that produced unusually large plums of gray smoke as I puffed away contentedly. The quality Virginia complimentary leaf added to the attraction and the blend was as cool a smoke as there is on the planet.

John Aylesbury - Latakia Blend.
I got this from my mate Gentleman Zombie in the 'States, another winner Franck!
This is, what it is: a straightforward, no messing, English. The ONLY negative is the one or two twigs the blend contains, other than that it's an English lovers ideal blend; I recon! The flavour of Latakia Blend is exactly what the name implies: lots of smokiness, strong notes of cedar, and a cool temperature smoke. To my palate there's only a tiny amount of Virginia, it's a smoke that's monopolized by the Latakia, but that suits me nicely! Something I can't hold against it is the speed of the burn: t's too fast, but it's been out of the sealed tin for a month or so and it's become quite dry.
Although the note's quite heavy, I like it, and I find the nicotine medium to strong.
Franck, I can't wait to see your review on this, me thinks you'll like, I do!
Highly recommended.

I was recommended this by Shervingtons (337 High Holborn, WC1. Tel: 020 7405 2929 - i think they will do mail order as well.
This is a very nice Latakia blend and smokes dry and cool. It is a very pleasant mix of virginia and latakia. It is only available in the 100g green tin, which is good for storage. (£15)
My Balkan Sobranie from 3yrs ago finally ran out and this is a good replacement. It is one of my favourites and smoke it regularly.
Shervingtons have their own Balkan Mix which is also very good.
