I was mistaken when I bought this tobacco, that it didn't have any latakia in it. It does and I was disappointed when I cracked it and got that telltale odor. I used to love Lat. the stronger the better but my tastes have certainly changed the last couple of years. VA/Per/Bur blends are where it is at for me. However once I fired up my Dunhill Banker with this tobacco I was favorably impressed. I can taste a nice sweetness a spicyness and the Lat. pokes its nose under the tent once in awhile. The only other Lat. that I'd even consider would be MacBaren Vintage Syrian. I would highly recommend this blend.
