I had the feeling that A.) Penzance was going to be mentioned and B.) That hobie was going to be the one to do it.

If you are into heavy Latakia blends, C&D's Star of the East flake is a good one. Rumor has it that it is about 50% Latakia.

Penzance is really more of a crumble cake, IMO. IIRC, Star of the East Flake is, as well. Lovely blends,both of them, too.
For a more traditional flake, SG's Balkan Flake is very yummy. :puffy:

I'm quite fond of both SOTE and SOTE Flake, but I think they use different Orientals. If anything, SOTE Flake is tangier and maybe a bit lighter.
Germain Special Latakia Flake is lighter than Penzance, and I like that quite a bit too.

Penzance, Samuel Gawith Commonwealth, Samuel Gawith Balkan Flake, and Germain Special Latakia Flake all come to mind.
