I don't often recommend a tobacco.I know that folks have different tastes..Because I like a blend doesn't mean that someone else will.I've been smoking this one though for almost 20 years.I like to smoke it while i'm watching my favorite thing on tv (baseball) so today I ordered 5 pounds.Just to make sure I have enough for this season.If you're out there reading this and you've been thinking about trying a mild Latakia blend you might give this one some thought.
