It's light on the Orientals and Turkish, which are dry, slight buttery sweet and sour with a touch of wood. The Cyprian latakia is not as smoky or woody sweet as I find in other Balkans. There's no real flair to the taste. Has a mild nic-hit. Won't bite or get harsh. Burns at a moderate pace, cool and clean with a lackluster, consistent flavor. Needs an average number of relights, and leaves little moisture in the bowl. The after taste is short lived. It probably deserves two stars, but that would really be stretching it, so I rate it as a one and half star blend.
