Torben Dansk 40 Jubilee Smooth Latakia

The 50g tin's content was almost perfect moisture wise; I dried it for about an hour. Packs well. Needed a few relights but could be smoked consistently. The taste is mildly sweet which is due to the Black Cavendish. The Latakia, however, balances this blend. It tastes slightly nutty at times, but most of the time you will get that cool, smoky, slightly peppery taste and flavour that makes this blend stand out to me. One thing to criticise, however, is the lack of real depth some other blends like Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe or My Mixture 965 have. Smooth Latakia (or Latakia Blend) gives you a consistent smokey smoke. It is a blend that can be smoked absentmindedly, because your palate will get used to the taste and won't be overwhelmed with flavour. Neither will you get a nicotine kick out of it since it is rather mild. All in all, a perfect smoke for early mornings if you prefer to start the day without having had breakfast. I will definitely buy Smooth Latakia again.

EDIT May 2017: I filled my pipe and puffed really hard to see if I'd burn my tongue and hand. To my surprise, nothing of that sort happened. I could be puffing more than ten times a minute (a little bit excessive, I know) without ever experiencing tongue burn or hand burn. Something I noticed, however, was that the more I puffed the more nicotine I could feel. That's why I've changed strength to a medium instead of mild/medium.
