For me (a pipe smoker still in search of a staple blend that includes latakia), this one comes close to meeting the goal. Good quality, and the latakia is quite subdued.
Update: As my research into various blends expands, I find this to be drifting towards mediocrity, particularly with the discovery of Penzance for latakia "moments".
