I really like the flavor of latakia, but is there a tobacco that has Virginia, Latakia and possibly some casing for additional flavor. I've heard that Samuel Gauwith makes a Navy Flake with Latakia and Rum, I might like to try that if it true.

Sillem's Black is a latakia based blend with an aromatic topping. It does have some VA in it, but also burley and black cavendish.

There are many such blends these days. Two Friend's English Chocolate is Va based with some lataki and a bit of chocolate. C&D's USS Mason is another with VA/Per, burley, latakia and a brandy topping. Both are great and in my daily rotation.

i don't get many aromatics, but often when smoking one i will simply add some latakia to it.

Taste is a very personal thing. I have HH Highland and I'm disappointed. I will not buy another tin. I am a latakia smoker and I much prefer Sterling's 1776 Bostonian, Becks Ol'Limey Bastard, Balkan Sasieni, and of course Penzance. I've also smoked Black Mallory, Three Oaks Syrian, Commonwealth, Squadron Leader, Westminster, Charring Cross, and Odyssey. I would prefer to smoke any of them more than HH Highland.
