HU Tobacco Port Latakia
(2.60)
Notes: This blend was formerly known as "Sweet Latakia." This is the old tin description: Sweet Latakia“, an English blend with 50 per cent latakia. Virginia and Oriental grades give this blend a prominent sweet taste that initially force the latakia into the background. It is only after some time of smoking that the latakia gets the upper hand and start to dominate the flavor. This interplay of tastes is what makes this English blend so charming. Sweet, airy and spicy – these are the “Sweet Latakia"‘s governing attributes. It is an interesting blend for sworn fans of latakia and for those who want to become it.

I don't see Black Cavendish mentioned in the description, but certainly the current version contains it (and the tin explicitly says so). The result is a blend very heavy on Latakia, but also with a pronounced sweetness.
It's an OK blend, but it's very heavy handed and a bit monochromatic for me. Sweetness and strong Latakia, very tasty but not much subtlety.
