First and foremost, I must thank Scrooge (I know, right? ) for this very ample sample!
The Latakia is rich, delicious and there's plenty of it while the Virginia is sweet and supportive without ever taking the lead.
Perique is listed as well but it's a minor player and is not at all peppery.
What seals the deal for me, though, is the Orientals ... loads of Izmir.
If you are a fan of Balkan blends with an Oriental forward leaf then you must try this blend.
Similar blends smoked would include GLP Odyssey, HH Vintage Syrian and Peretti Tashkent
