    Sweet Latakia Blend Recommendations

    I just smoked my first bowl of Bengal Slices and really liked the sweetness of it. Any recommendations on sweet Latakia blends? I have some Gawith Perfection, Bob’s Chocolate Flake, and might pick up Two Friends English Chocolate. I’m not one to ask for recommendations as I believe in buying...
