Very nice thick ribbons, like hand rubbed flakes. Moist from the tin but not too much. Sweet, fruity sticky smell, like prunes or Soreen malt loaf. I gave it 20mn drying time, it was perfect!

Chacom - #5.
I first had this last October, as the Winter was on us, but dug a tin out this afternoon as the weather became cooler as opposed to this morning which was red hot!!
The blend's quite coarse, none needs more rubbing but it's easy to see it's a broken flake. The colour's dark, brown and black, with a tiny amount of lighter flecks. A whiff of it makes clear there's more than enough Latakia in it!
The Latakia is at the front of the pack; a little sharper for the first few minutes but takes on more of a calm smokiness as the bowl burns. I get a ripe fruitiness from the dark Virginia, but not any citrus. There's a spiciness which presents itself about halfway through, but up until this point the Perique seems quite dormant. Black Cavendish? The BC, as you'd expect, softens the flavour and thickens the build. The burn from it's remarkable, the temperature's cool.
Nicotine: plenty. Room-note: strong but nice,
Chacom #5? A top-notch English smoke. Highly recommended:
Four stars.

Adoro la latakia y este tabaco es uno de mis favoritos superlatakiados. Humo denso, tabaco con cuerpo, muy sabroso, alquitrán muy presente, pero agradable. Viene en su punto de humedad, no he necesitado secarlo y se fuma muy bien, sin apagados. Durante la fumada hay momentos que pierde algo de intensidad, pero esta vuelve de nuevo.

Oh my! Did not know a latakia forward blend could be so good. I have avoided Lat, because of my intolerance to it, but here, no problems at all. Smoky, spicy and sweet. Dark broken flakes with smoky scent. The smell reminds me of the barn, that we had near my village. Lots of memories. Needs a bit drying time, 20-30 min. should be enough. Lights easy and requires minimal relights. The smoke is dominantly latakia, but aggressively, the VA and Cav supports it greatly, smoothing and sweetening the experience. The Perique gives a hint of pepper and spiciness, that appears in the background. 4 Star blend. Highly recommended!
