Cyprain Latakia

[skeeter456]

Can someone tell me a good cyprain latakia to try? I liked Night cap by Dunhill but looking for something with more of the latakia taste. thanks

Pirate Kake. 70% latakia.

Smokers Haven Exotique Mixture/ Our Best Blend/ Cognac

Esoterica Margate

C&D Billy Budd/Star of the East Flake/Engine 99

SToP Bengal Slices

Peter Stokkebye Proper English is one that seems to be Lat rich, but I'm not a Lat-first guy; I'll be interested to see what others say. I know there are some Lat bombs out there.

C&D Pirate Kake, better yet, try pure Latakia it's not bad, a very full taste but not bad. It will tell your taste buds what they need to know.
SG Commonwealth mixture is also good at 50% Latakia.

Dan Tobacco Old Ironsides is another one and so is G.L.Pease Abingdon.

Thanks for starting this thread, and thanks for listing Lat-bomb blends. Now I know what not to try.
Not at all partial to Latakia rich blends, aroma, taste. You saved me a lot of questions.

I used to favor McClelland's Bombay Extra. Hermit's Honor Blend may be right up your alley too.

I'll add Ten Russians to the list. A real lat-bomb.

What to add that hasn't already been mentioned thrice? I guess G.L. Pease Gaslight and John Cotton's Latakia.

2nd vote for ten russians. I smoke it quite a bit and prefer it to nightcap.
I also just tried Dan tobaccos Midnight Ride. It comes off as a smoother tastier and mqybe a bit more fruit lik than nightcap. And has a nice bit of ni otine in it too

Savinelli's Giubileo D'oro hasn't been mentioned, so I'll mention it. Other than that, Commonwealth.

has anyone tried the McClelland blending latakia?

 

[3rdguy]

Ten Russians and Night Cap. Both different but fantastic. You will know where you stand (or what you can stand....or if you can stand at all) after these 2.
I wouldn't be concerned with the amount of Lat but rather the entire blend itself.

 

[3rdguy]

I see you have already enjoyed Night Cap. If you enjoyed it you shall enjoy most of the Lat blends....IMO.

This is a no fail Latakia forward blend. You may find the thick soggy flakes a bit hard to get burning just right, but with some airing time and a little patience you will be greatly rewarded.
