Can someone tell me a good cyprain latakia to try? I liked Night cap by Dunhill but looking for something with more of the latakia taste. thanks

Peter Stokkebye Proper English is one that seems to be Lat rich, but I'm not a Lat-first guy; I'll be interested to see what others say. I know there are some Lat bombs out there.

C&D Pirate Kake, better yet, try pure Latakia it's not bad, a very full taste but not bad. It will tell your taste buds what they need to know.
SG Commonwealth mixture is also good at 50% Latakia.

Dan Tobacco Old Ironsides is another one and so is G.L.Pease Abingdon.

Thanks for starting this thread, and thanks for listing Lat-bomb blends. Now I know what not to try.
Not at all partial to Latakia rich blends, aroma, taste. You saved me a lot of questions.

What to add that hasn't already been mentioned thrice? I guess G.L. Pease Gaslight and John Cotton's Latakia.

2nd vote for ten russians. I smoke it quite a bit and prefer it to nightcap.
I also just tried Dan tobaccos Midnight Ride. It comes off as a smoother tastier and mqybe a bit more fruit lik than nightcap. And has a nice bit of ni otine in it too

Savinelli's Giubileo D'oro hasn't been mentioned, so I'll mention it. Other than that, Commonwealth.

Ten Russians and Night Cap. Both different but fantastic. You will know where you stand (or what you can stand....or if you can stand at all) after these 2.
I wouldn't be concerned with the amount of Lat but rather the entire blend itself.

I see you have already enjoyed Night Cap. If you enjoyed it you shall enjoy most of the Lat blends....IMO.

This is a no fail Latakia forward blend. You may find the thick soggy flakes a bit hard to get burning just right, but with some airing time and a little patience you will be greatly rewarded.
