This is an interesting one. The description says "A touch of Cyprian Latakia is added to Syrian Latakia..." The overall Latakia portion is quite generous in this blend.
Syrian Trawler packs well and lights easily. When the flame hits the leaf, there is no doubt that you have a lot of Latakia in the bowl. Just a charring light, a quick relight and you're off.
As I mentioned earlier, the Latakia dominates heavily at first. Then things settle down a bit and the Turkish mixes in. The Virginia lends a very slight hint of its trademark flavor on rare occasion.
This isn't a complex tobacco. There is a bit of an underlying taste that makes me think of semi-sweet dark chocolate and clove now and again.
Overall, the blend lacks anything to make it something I would smoke regularly. Maybe, as another reviewer said, it could be mixed with a Virginia to help it hold your interest. Maybe a hint of Perique.
If you aren't liking it by the time you smoke the first third of the bowl, you might as well dump it out. It isn't going to change.

This one packs quite a bit of latakia wallop! While this blend was o.k., I did not feel it was exceptional. I like to smoke pirate cake for the occasional latakia overdose. This blend just did not have the smoothness of some other heavy latakia blends that i've had. While im not saying that it is a bad blend I will say that I probably wont smoke this often. I will say that this came packaged in the hardest brick i've ever seen, alot like pirate cake but even more dense!

While this is a perfectly acceptable Engish bend, with lots of Latakia and Turkish, it is not exceptional. There is good flavor initially, but little complexity. The Va background seems lacking in body, probably will improve with cellaring.
