Forget the nonsense. This is a Balkan... & one of the best you'll be able to get your hands on. Excellent mixture with old timey flavor.

Perhaps my favorite of all Cornell and Diehl syrian latakia range. This one is all dark and that bit denser. Rich and well balanced for a blend with perique, it is not overfull in flavour and offers the right amount of spice and strenghth. I feel that this is more than half the battle in finding the perfect tobacco, as often a blend can be to mild or to strong .For me this is close to perfect.
The use use both latakias must in someway create the complexity of flavour against the more netural cavendish background. The blends with virginas tend not to the trick for me. Recommended.

levant is a little fuller mixture than its' cousin baalbek, with more emphasis on the two latakias. it also has some perique, but it is not as noticeable as in baalbek. if you are a latakia fan, though, you will probably love this blend. the taste really reminds me of a slightly milder version of pirate kake, another tobacco that i like very much. it's lighting and burn characteristics are similar to pirate kake, also. this is one area where it is superior to baalbek. C&D has several other blends with syrian latakia; after sampling baalbek and levant, i think i will have to give them a try, too. four stars.
