How many blends with Latakia?

[nathaniel]

Here's a thinker to abide some time... I'm bored today. :puffpipe:
How many blends which are readily available online in bulk or tin contain Latakia do you think?

I know that's a ridiculous question to which there is likely no easy-to-find answer, but it's an interesting thought.

Moreover, I ask rather: How much do you think it would be to buy one of each blend containing Latakia, in the smallest marketable quantity (like 1oz. bulk or 1 50gr. tin)? I'm betting it would at least be above $2000 american.
What do you think?
And for those lovers of the dark leaf... how AWESOME would it be to put in such a TAD purchase!? 8O

I took a quick inventory, and I currently own, in tins and bulk both, about 14 Latakia blends, and I have a feeling that I haven't even scratched the surface. Heres a list:
Latakia Junction

Pirate Kake

Black Frigate

Mississippi Mud

Frog Morton on the Bayou

Frogo Morton on the Town

Frog Morton Across the Pond

Frog Morton

Chelsea Morning

Meridian

Quiet Nights

Wilderness

Squadron Leader

Butera Latakia #1
Damn. I didn't realize how many tins I had of Latakia. This doesnt include Burleys, Virginias, and Aromatics. I got some smoking to do!

Gads, I thought I was bored! (-:
So FWIW... tobaccoreviews.com has 1078 such in its' database

 

[markw4mms]

I'd say at least 75% of my toby has Latakia in it.

 

[philip]

All three Seattle Pipe Club blends:
Seattle Evening

Mississippi River

Plum Pudding

 

[jship079]

there are currently 1562 blends on the market that have latakia in it at 10 dollars for 2oz that would be 15620 dollars. :lol:

 

[nathaniel]

Wow, jship079! That's something else... How'd you find out the amount of blends?
That would be amazing to have each to try for the rest of your life! ::

+1 nathaniel
I'm curious as well as to what you used to get that number jship. Sooo many blends!

 

[judcole]

Bet he made it up. :P

 

[oldmooner]

Too many. It is hard to avoid it. It stays in a pipe forever and you can taste it every time you smoke. Ugh.

 

[judcole]

It's not that hard to avoid - you just have to be an informed consumer. You have to go beyond buying because you are intrigued by the name, the tin description, or whatever. McClelland, C&D, MacBaren, Peterson, Rattray - they all have a good number of blends without latakia. And then you've got all the OTC blends.

Now, if you want no latakia, no casings, and no toppings, then you might have a bit more problems. But I would bet that I could still make you a list of at least 25 blends, without getting into OTC stuff, that fits that criteria. ::
