Somewhere recently I read that some people have mixed trout stream with some latakia. I enjoy both so I thought that I would mix up just enough for a few smokes in a bowl and see. A match made in heaven! These two together may just end up becoming my favorite blend. We all, or mostly know about trout stream, so I would go into that, but add just enough latakia to give it that aroma (not overbearing)makes it 100 times better. I did use a straight mixing type of latakia. I would highly recommend this for any of you who have a likeing for both!
