English / Latakia C&D Blends

[badbriar]

So, which C&D blends are relatively strong (med - full), tasty English or Oriental offerings that include latakia? Not looking for lat bombs here - just some good ones similar to GLP.

 

[Indygrap]

Joie de Vivre is my go to from them. I haven’t tried too many of their other English blends but jdv is always in rotation with me.

Stratfordshire and Cordial are excellent. Star of the East Gold is more oriental forward with the lat more in the background. Red Odessa is also very good. Some that I haven't tried are Mountain Camp and Bayou Night, the contain perique and may meet your strength requirements.

GLP Westminster sounds like what you're looking for.

C&D Super Balkan. That's what you want.

C&D has more than 50 blends that meet your description haha.

 

[kcghost]

Yeah, question is a little too vague for me. C&D make over 250 blends of which there are 50+ latakia blends.

I think you need to study the C&D inventory at smokingpipes.com. You can shop the appropriate pages, tins and bulk, yourself. Several prospects have already by posted on this thread. A few of my recommendations might include:

Stratfordshire, Bayou Night, Mountain Camp, Old Joe Krantz in it various versions, Billy Budd, Tuggle Hall, and Riverboat Gambler. There are more, but these and those mentioned by others should get you started.

Check the strength, room note, taste specs, and read the descriptions carefully, and the specs on tobaccos, and you should have some good ideas about what you might and might not like.

There's no substitute for your own homework on this. Other's suggestions are hit and miss. No one else has your taste buds or smoking experience, so best to forge your own path.

I like Engine 99 and Mountain Camp and Bow Legged Bear.

I forgot to recommend one in my earlier post, so I'll go with one I like, Sea Dog.

 

[JRW11b]

Billy Budd.

 

[Elric]

My personal favorite is Yale Mixture.

I think Tobacco Reviews has a very nice search feature, especially the ‘advanced’ search option. I use it quite a bit out of curiosity look at what type of blends are out there.

Thus far Messrs. Cornell & Diehl have not treated me very well. But, if they had something similar to Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding, with some interesting variations, I'm down...

Star of the East. Balkan Sabranie is better though but not C. &. D..
