That is correct. As of now, the wine and smoke is mostly what you get from the Latakia, and they are pronounced enough that I considered it as a supporting player even though its other aspects fall below that mark.
So I pulled the trigger and got some, which arrived today.
In my first bowl I get the lat throughout the bowl, but I can also pick out DFK spiciness, or maybe that is the mixture of orientals.
This is a Balkan from which I myself can get a nice room note even while smoking it, reminding me of the 1960s-1970s original Balkan Sobranie. For me, the virginias seem to stay in the background, but the sweetness is there. I have to say I love this smoke!
