Brobergs Tobakshandel AB Cambridge Mixture

This was my very first excursion into Latakia country, and it will always be a pivoting point in my tobacco judgement history. This blend is the house blend of "my" tobacconist, and they have been mixing it for over a century. There is not an abundance of Latakia, but enough to make its prescence known throughout the bowl. The Viriginias used are of high quality and the Cavendish varieties are not to sweet, but create perfect balance. It's an excellent "first" English mixture as it is quite mild but yet very tasty. For me it whetted my appetite for English/Balkan mixtures, and the die-hard Latakia lover might be a bit disappointed at this mixture. I keep returning to this one when ever I need to synchronise my taste, or just for a very nice evening smoke. Or morning. Heck, I'd smoke it at any time, it is that good! Might be hard to get hold of outside of Sweden, but Brobergs do sell it over the Internet on their www.brobergs.com site (which unfortunately is only in Swedish at the moment).
