How much latakia to oriental tobacco (izmir) should be mixed to get a light balkan note in a blend based on virginias?

Thomas-
I see no answers, so I will venture that many replies would be along the lines of: you have to experiment and find for yourself. Even if someone knew exactly what tobaccos are involved, your results/satisfaction might vary greatly from another's experience.
But it'd be good to hear the results you achieve down the road!

I have a blend I like. Without having my notes in front of me it is something like 60% Virginia, 30% Turksih and about 10% Latakia. When I tweek this blend I usually leave the Turkish at 30% and change the Virginia/Latakia ratio. The 30% Turkish might be a little heavy for what you are looking for though.
