I recently picked up a couple sample bags at a tobacconist when visiting my in-laws and have been trying them over the last couple of days. They have PS, Lane and Dunhill blends clearly marked and a few thouse blends named after locals. The one that stood out as interesting was a house blend that is 80% lat and 20% VA. Smoked it in a small bowl last night and I swear my sinuses are still ghosted this morning. I can't even begin to describe the flavor as it was so overpowering. Not a bad flavor but way too much. The wifey could barely stand the room note and she will tolerate most of my English blends. I know I like lat but 80% is a bit much for me at the moment. This one is going in a jar and being revisited in a few weeks or months.
Tip of the day: Be careful with blends that have that much lat as you might not be ready for it. I sure wasn't.
