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.

What a nice surprise! Usually the name Erinmore is associated with the awful Mixture and to the interesting but ultra-flavored Flake, but this is a very different blend.
Supposedly stronger in Latakia than the Erinmore Balkan (which I haven't tried), it actually reminds me of the last incarnations of Balkan Sobranie Original Mixture.
Very intense latakia, very flavorful, a good blend which is clean, tasty and satisfying. Easy to load and light, good burning behaviour (also thanks to its low level of moisture), for an easy smoke.
Sure, it doesn't have a very juicy body, a nice sweetness or creamy complexity like the great Latakia mixtures from the past had... and it certainly isn't as rich and refined as the best GLPease offerings or Commonwealth. But compared to many other weak Latakia offerings, at least this one is a good approximation of how a stout Latakia offering should taste.
A good blend, with no bad surprises. Neither it has great surprises of twists of originality or excellence, but I could see myself smoking this one regularly and with satisfaction.

Well, after the Balkan Mixture, also this new Latakia Supreme met my appreciation.
As the name suggests, this is more toward the black weed, than the Orientals. Bit milder in strength than the EBM, the flavour is focused on the smoky/citrusy factors coming from the darker part of the blend (Latakia, Virginias and some unflavoured Black Cavendish of the like of Provost's I guess) the lighter ones remaining in the back seat. Not sweet, nor creamy, and bit sharp but in a pleasant way, it retains the same good burning qualities of EBM.
Nice blend, three stars.

ELS is a very pleasant blend, not a masterpiece but a good English with a traditional tin smell, quite dark in colour and with a cut thinner than usual, so it burns very well but (keep in mind) faster becoming hot, smoke it properly and you can turn bites in to a small tingle. ELS is not much strong nor bodied but it's flavourful, brisk and bracing; taste is dry, clean, smoky. Elegant indeed
