Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Erinmore Latakia
(2.67)
Erinmore Latakia is a blend of flue cured Virginia and sun cured Oriental tobaccos mixed with black cavendish. As a final touch we have added fire cured latakia tobaccos from Cyprus.
Notes: The original name was Erinmore Latakia Supreme. Originally produced by Murray Sons & Co., Ltd, it was bought by STG when Murray's stopped producing blends. No date is available on when "Supreme" was dropped from the official name of the blend.

I was not really expecting anything going into this tin. You never know what something is like until you give it a shot. With that being said, this is really not a bad blend. I agree with the below reviewer that there seems to be something that is lacking here, just can't put my finger on it. All in all, it seems to be a nice blend, it is missing something that would give it that extra oomph to get it to the next level. The tobacco seems of decent quality. The moisture level right out of the tin is just right for me. There was no need for extra time for drying. It lights easily and stays lit for the whole pipe. I would recommend this for one new to this type of blend to give them a feel for what to expect with better blends.

ERINMORE LATAKIA is the re-release version of Murray Sons & Co, Ltd Erinmore Latakia Supreme. This new version is produced in Denmark by Scandinavian Tobacco Group. Unfortunately I never tried Murray's version.
ERINMORE LATAKIA (EL) and Erinmore Balkan (EB) by Scandinavian Tobacco Group have a lot of similarities, but actually they are two classic blends with some differences. Here I want to speak about the differences between these two peculiar blends, from the point of view of Erinmore Latakia compared to Erinmore Balkan. Similarities: first of all they have the same base Virginia, Orientals and Latakia and both are classic English blends with Latakia in pole position. Secondly, both contain Latakia from Cyprus. Thirdly, they both contain a very high amount of Latakia (too much in my taste). And here I stop.
Now the differences. Above all the recipe: EL contains also Black Cavendish (unflavored) and it is somehow Scottish. Black Cavendish gives EL a more aromatic note compared to EB. Secondly the Latakia content: EL contains a little more Latakia than EB. Thirdly the taste: EL has a more articulate taste while EB is more one-dimensional. Anyway I believe these are two very similar blends, that can be easily interchanged. But only if you love a high Latakia content!!! So, in my opinion and in my personal rating system (from 1 to 10) for Erinmore Latakia my score is 6 and two stars (the same as Erinmore Balkan - see review).

Well this mixture is flat. Something is missing. While I enjoy the Balkan Mixture by Erinmore, this one does not meet my expectations. Simply an empty smoke for me, with a weak taste and too weak strength. The "supreme" is exaggerated. But the quality overall is good as usual in erinmode, tobacco is easy to light and burns perfectly. I would give it 2.5 stars, by now I rate it a solid 2.

Well, i came recently to latakia and apreciate a lot the SG Balkan Flake. I wanted to go further in the latakia taste. I think i will keep this latakia supreme of Erinmore for the days when i want to complain to remember that life is not so hard compare to it. Enjoy, peace.
