I also like this blend (smoking it right now). When I bought it I was on the prowl for an enjoyable lat bomb blend. To my taste this is not a lat bomb but a strong lat blend. The orientals really come though for me and the sweetness from the Virginia's comes through nicely. It really is very nicely balanced, very satisfying. This morning I was smoking Rattrays Black Mallory and I would consider this similar in some ways. Black Mallory to me is darker and a bit sweeter. If you like Levant Mixture I would also suggest the Black Mallory if you can get a hold of it. I intend to keep both on hand.
I would say the nicotine hit on Levant Mixture is right around medium for me. Not too strong, but not light either.
