Almost black with purple shades, this is the most superb quality Latakia I have ever met, since the times of John Cotton's.
I hotly suggest everybody to try it straight, and appreciate the naturally sweet/leathery/piney smoke it delivers.

Excellent blending Latakia, but not the only pebble on the beach, as there are others equally good. Not for smoking on its own, unless one likes the taste of burnt cork with the aroma of pure Latakia.

This is probably the best pure latakia around, great both for blending and for adjusting some lacking mixture. Smoked alone, obviously it's quite difficult to keep lit, but it's incredibly smokable. First class.

This is by far, the best blending Latakia I have ever smoked. Supurb taste, aftertaste and burning characteristics. Full bodied and very smooth and creamy. Highly recommended for blending.

I am mostly a cigar smoker, so this full-bodied Latakia is perfect for me to smoke it pure, well moisture though. I enjoy it really a lot!

What about this tobacco, except that the highest quality. I think it is a tobacco, which should not be smoking 100% pure, but great for making home-made mixtures or corrections.

I quoted flavoring extra strong. This and other Latakia's have a very very strong Cedarwoodfire-smoked flavour with an herbal touch. This one has a soapy-like aftertaste (if smoked pure). Excellent L for upgrading and mixing: 10% is enough. I mix this with 60% VA, 20% Cuba and 10% Danish Truffles. The L still comes trough in harmony with the Roasted Nut-aroma from the Truffles. A real Delight.In addition the L neutralises the tongue-bite caused by the DT. Warning: smoke this pure in a very small bowl at the end of the day: afterwards you're taste will be gone for a time. And don't try this tasty bomb before having dinner.
