Robert McConnell Pure Latakia

This is a gift of Manitu to the pipe smoker.I´d keeping my old tin of Wellauer for breaking every new pipe and now from the heaven return the happiness.I love too the wonderful charred leaf from Cyprus but this is absolutely different.Plants are different and more,the wood used in curing too,continental oak vs.mediterranean coniffers.Its smoothiness make to add in larger quantity than cyprus to the mixtures.I hope war in martyrized Syria don´t finish with it.

Excellent, superb Latakia, probably one of the best pure Latakia you can find in the market. Of course it is a blending tobacco and you have not to smoke it straight. But if you are an English mixtures' lovers and you like to prepare mixtures by your own, this is certainly for you. In my personal system rating (from 1 to 10) my score is 10 and four stars.

I am a "Latakia lunatic" and hence smoke this one as is. Nice way to introduce some change in a smoking spectrum dominated by Latakia blends anyway (Dunhill SM, MM965 and NC - Ashton Artisan's Blend etc).

Latakia. I am not a Latakia fanatic; for all I know there are better ones out there. I have had my tin for a while and dip into it once in a while for blending.

This stuff is great. Add a small amount to any blend=will bump it up. 4 stars

Yes sir, just as advertised. Just sprinkle some in to add 1-2 stars to any decent blend. I especially liked this in otherwise weak Oriental blends like Dunhill's London Mixture. I must be a disciple because I actually liked this smoked straight as well.

Quality latakia, used mainly to improve purchased tins I don't like. RMcC's Latk accomplishes its mission well and then some. Creamy, smooth and the quality expected from K+K.

This was the first latakia I tried, and I was advised at the time by the tobacconist to use it only to spice up my dullest tobbacos, but to never smoke it all by itself, not only because it was too strong, but because it gets tiresome and monotone after a while. He was so right! Now I love the funky smell I get when opening the tin, and I love the distinctive smoky flavour it gives to my tobaccos. A great way to become accustomed to Latakias. Now, I couldn't keep smoking only latakia mixes, since I adore aromatics. But for a change of pace or when you need something stronger, I recommend this even to hardcore aromatic smokers as a way to approach more complex tobaccos.

Sensacional. Bastante fumaça, queima bem proporcionando um sabor incrível!!!! Fiquei com receio de fumar puro no início, mas acho que fumarei sempre assim.... Eventualmente usarei para adicionar a outras misturas...
