What did you think of Erin Go Bragh? This is one of the P&S pipe club offerings this month. Even though the label doesn't list Latakia, I taste Latakia. I Hate Latakia!

Erin Go Bragh has no Latakia. It's Virginias and Cavendish with a whiskey top dressing. Maybe it's the smoky note of the whiskey that you're tasting.

Is Erin go Bragh the really tiny cigars that are like 25 dollars for 50 or is there a different Erin go Bragh I'm not aware of?

Kevchris:
Sounds like maybe you need to revisit some blends that include latakia. If you're tasting what you perceive to be latakia it in a blend that doesn't contain latakia, you may have made a mistake in identifying what latakia actually tastes like in the first place.
I don't know how long you've been smoking a pipe, but as a new smoker I know I had a terrible time figuring out exactly what perique tasted like and what it contributed to a blend. May be you're having a similar issue with latakia.
