This blend has a definitive oriental / Latakia nose and taste. Some comments were that it smells like weed. TO me though, a better description would be the smell of walking into a Persian / Turkish shop. Also notes of a mouldy cellar smell.
Personally I like Latakia / Oriental and therefore I liked this blend a lot. Clearly Oriental favours coming through with notes of spicy, woody, cellar-like. Room note not that pleasant to my family, but resemblance a more traditional tobacco smell.
