(3.35)
One half Cyprian Latakia with a generous portion of Izmir and sweetened stoved red Virginia.

Change the name! It is nothing like Star of the East at all! I buy SOR in bulk at Cigar King in Skokie, Illinois and it is wonderful! I had the misfortune of trying a sample of this flake and was not impressed. It is bland, and just a run of the mill Latakia flake. Take a pass.

I do not not like this at all. too much latakia and not much else for my taste. I got it in bulk. Maybe i'll mix it up and try it again.
