I was given a sample of this that was very dry and possibly quite old. After rehdrating it with a few drops of water, it improved some but still isn't very pleasant to smoke. I've now tossed a pouch moistener into the bag and set it aside for a bit.
So far, I am detecting hints of a some kind of flavor, but it doesn't seem to taste much like latakia to me. More than anything else it really just seems to irritate my mouth, even when smoked slowly. It makes my tongue feel dry and scorched almost instantly and the feeling persists until I finish the bowl, although it seems to fade quickly. Maybe its just be a sign that the tobacco is still too dry.
On the basis of what I have, I would give this one star. However, I suspect that my sample is over the hill, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and go with two for now. I'll revisit this review in a week or so and update it accordingly depending on the effects of further rehydration. I hate to give a bad review based on a suspect sample so keep that in mind here.
