Heaviest Latakia bulk blend?

[brooklynpiper]

If I bought a pound each of Morning Pipe and pure latakia... which would be heavier?

Whichever comes less wet of course!

Byzantium

Never tried it but the description fits the bill

I'm not a big Latakia fan, but Byzantium is my English blend when in the mood. I think it's the perique that does it for me.

I don't know which is the heaviest but the bulk Latakia blends I keep around are:

C&D Billy Budd
F&K Lancer Slices nka Ready Rubbed
Sutliff Match BSOSM
Sutliff Match BS759
Sutliff Balkan II
Sutliff CA-100
Peter Stokkebye Proper English

Pirate Kake boasts a 75% helping of latakia and is 1 of my favorite lat blends that you can order by the pound. Just wait for a C&D tin sale (it's still considered a tin) and you can grab it for a little over $50.

Wow...a little foreshadowing there...looks like C&D tins are 20% off this week.

$46.92 for a 1 lb block/sheet/brick/whatever, currently! $2.93 per ounce if my math is right:

Havent had pirate kake in over 10yrs but I popped a tin today from 2021,and wow. It really is good. I immediately bought a pound from smokingpipes after getting their email.

Oh yeah, I love this stuff in the fall and winter. Nice and smokey.

FYI- Engine #99 is a combination of Red Odessa and the unpressed components of Pirate Kake. A full bodied blend with enough latakia to pull ol' #99 up a mountain grade with flavor to spare. Loaded with latakia, perique, Virginias, burleys, and Orientals.
