Sweetest Latakia Blends Out There?

[ohin3]

If you could only get one tin between Skiff, Early Morning Pipe, or Red Rapparee, which would you choose?

Skiff. It is such a wonderful tobacco...very incense like and that is right where my sweet spot is. EMP may be just a tad more on the sweet side, but Skiff would always win that race for me. I can send you a sample of Skiff as my B&M carries Samuel Gawith on a regular basis. It is one of the few bonuses of living in Nova Scotia. PM me and I will get you a sample.

Judd,what Macbaren is your first bowl? & favorite?

I was referring back to Simenon's post, where he asked about MacB HH Vintage Syrian. It's for sure my fave MacB, and I think it is a damned fine blend.

A bit of a love it or hate it tobacco is C&D Cross Eyed Cricket it has a sweetness to it with florals with an odd casing that I can't put my finger on. Either you love it or you hate it though there doesn't seem to be an inbetween

 

[hiplainsdrifter]

I second Vintage Syrian- not a ton of latakia, but great sweetness. Hands down my favorite MacB to date.

I agree, can't miss with the Vintage Syrian. I'm smoking it every day right now.

When I used to smoke English blends, I found C&D Bayou Nights, Plantation Evening and Mc's Frog on the Bayou to have some nice sweetness. Another English blend I used to love was Blatter and Blatter Reserve.

I really like SPC Mississippi River. Tastes like spice and honey.

Thats the sweetest best English ive tried, im a VA guy if that matters, their Plum Pudding is pretty good as well, nice and sweet.

Egg hatched ... I know my dome is pretty shiny but no I'm surprisingly enough no relation to Curly or Marlon Brando.

 

[pipeanddrum]

Maybe give Dunhill Aperitif a try. It does lean sweet without being overly so.

 

[ltstone]

Maybe 4noggins Owls Head or C&D's Sweet English..

Wow old thread but I find Balkan sasieni to be naturally sweet, also arango Balkan supreme

 

[jpmcwjr]

Second all of Andy's observations.

 

[jeff540]

Red Rapperre and Frog Morton on the Town were two recent English styles with a natural sugary sweetness to them, I killed both tins in almost record time.
Another worthy mention in this category (at least to me) is SG Balkan Flake. It's only drawback is lighting - like trying to smoke beef jerky.

I HIGHLY recommend SmokersHaven Exotique. Order some soon because it's about to be gone forever, a legendary English, snuffed out by the Americans.

I second in the Mississippi River ... A friend of mine gave me a sample I liked it so much I went and bought and 8oz tin

Wow another Zombie thread. I got 5 pounds of this laid up and an FYI to the member who started this three years ago and all the other members who are gone gone gone:
WILKE No. 10

An exotic range of orientals are blended in perfect harmony with lemon Virginia and Latakia. A mild to medium English blend that can be smoked all day.
To all the old members from Mr. L.C.

[papipeguy]

Not to beat my drum but I find John Cotton Smyrna to have a very nice natural sweetness to it.

The Frog Mortons

Perfection

Bald Headed Teacher (More of a burley blend but has a touch of Latakia)

McClelland Anniversary

Northwoods

 

[nukesimi]

I second SG Perfection. It has a slight vanilla topping, if that's your thing.
