    Opening A Solani 779 From 2002 With Syrian Latakia

    This is the most aged tin I am smoked so far. This is not the first time I am smoking Syrian Latakia, but when I had smoked it the first time, I was a very new smoker. The tobacco flavor is very light. I can still taste the slightly savory, very mildly smokey Latakia, and it reminds me of...

    I recently purchased this. It is much more beautiful than either my photos (or the sellers photos). The nomenclature is crisp though hard to photograph.
