Besides the obvious choice of nightcap. What is a good FULL Latakia blend that is on the sweet side.

Something like Frog M or FGOTP, but with some substantial nicotine.
I've have not tried "and so to bed" does this fit the bill?
thanks

Gaslight? I don't know because my tin is still sealed, but i've heard it's Lat forward and tasty.

ASTB isn't the Lat bomb many people think it is. There is Latakia in it for sure but it's closer to Scottish IMHO (though not Scottish, that's just the closest I can think of to compare). There is a prominent sweetness that stand more forward than the beloved dark smoky leaf. Also, at least for me, I don't get that throat/chest lump feeling I often find when smoking something dripping with vitamin N. Excellent smoke but no Nightcap.
To answer the question though, 10 Russians or Stimulus Package are good heavy blends that make my lids droop.

I have some Margate in the cabinet. I will have to get into it.
As for shutterbug; I suspect, I might go full circle to find Nightcap was all I needed.
The journey should be costly, but tasty. I believe well worth it.

I've been smoking Black House over the last few evenings,its a new one to me. Plenty of lat,although not overpowering, with a nice sweet coconut hint.

GH Balkan Mixture is a good strong smoke too.

Sweet-ish tasting Latakia prominent blends? I'd throw Maltese Falcon into the ring, and possibly Odyssey as well. I'd also say they are a bit higher in strength than the Frog series. Give them a try! :puffy:

I sleep better after a full pipe of Nightcap. Whether it's just actual relaxation, or something else, beats me, but it's a magical blend in the midnight hours.

^^^ This is not to say that Nightcap cannot be enjoyed at other times. It's pretty frickin' magical any other time too.

Depending on your tastes, probably not a Lat bomb but it suits my needs.
I like to mix a couple of rubbed out coins of Brown Rope with some PS Balkan Supreme.
