I am happy to report that after 38 volumes of the Ask G.L. Pease column, it still doesn't seem like we are running out of great questions anytime soon. It's amazing how this great little hobby of ours can spark so many extremely interesting topics of discussion.
Please check out the latest from Lord Latakia -

Very interesting answer concerning Syrian Latakia. Pease says that the only blending houses with a supply of true Syrian latakia are McClellend and Mac Baren. This leads me to a question concerning a tin of Robert McConnell latakia that I have kicking around. The tin is from around 2006 and the sticker on the back indicates that it is Syrian, but Pease's response has me wondering if this is true or not. Perhaps it was tinned with their remaining stock back in 2005-2006. I am quite curious now.

It wouldn't surprise me if that McConnell was still Syrian, being from 2006. That's 8 years ago now.

I've never had Semois, but your question and his answer has got me interested.
