Are Latakia Blends Better on the Moist Side?

[ClenchedBilliard]

I find Latakia heavy blends taste muddy or murky when “wet”. The taste is a lot cleaner after some drying time.

I like mine on the dry side.

Dryish.

Unfortunately, any term describing dryness (or moisture) is subject to a wide range of personal interpretation.

Down here we sometimes refer to a "dry rain." Dry as a waterproof man drowned in a dry creek. So dry the catfish have ticks. Dry to the bone. Dry as a witches titty.

I like mine GLP dry, after it has dried out a little.

I prefer all blends 'not wet', but still pliable. If it cracks to shreds or dust when loading it's too dry for me.

Understood. We still don't have very good terms to nail down what the moisture content is.
