Latikia Suggestions

[rcstan]

What I liked and are regular stock items for me
SG Commonwealth, half Lat and half VA, and it's very smooth. Very smokey and leathery but not bitter
PS Balkan Supreme, lots of Lat and Turkish
Balkan Sasieni, another very nice blend with Lat and Turkish, and fairly light
Fairmorn's Lancer Slices, Lat and VA in flake form
SG Balkan Flake, somewhat of a misnomer since it's just Lat and VA in flake form ( Balkan usually implies Lat and Turkish but we won't get that discussion started again )
SG Squadron Leader .... Turkish, some Lat and VA
PS English Luxury .... Turkish, Lat, VA, and some cavendish and burley to lighten the fare
THE Legendary Penzance
SPC Plum Cake
Pembroke
GLP Westminster
....... and others I have tried but did not care for .... ::

+1 to Squadron Leader, H&H Larry's Blend, Maclelland's Legends, Peter Stokkebye Balkan Supreme and the Frog Morton's (On the Town and Across the Pond)
I will add in SHCP Great Hiatus and SPC Plum Pudding, the latter being heavier on the latakia.
Esoterica Penzance was too strong, too much latakia for me.

I really like blue mountain and margate and i just got my Boswell order and the Countryside is a wonderful mild one.

Ten to midnite to me is a killer. Tops even penzance IMHO. I also love Black House and Cerberus.

There are lots of good Latakia blends out there and I keep several here. Among my favorites are Frog Morton's Cellar, Frog Morton on the Town, Boswell's Northwoods and Magnum Blend, H&H Larry's Blend, and C&D Plantation Evening. I'm waiting on some of Russ Oullette's Black House and hope it gets here this week.

Peter Stokkebye Balkan Supreme is my everyday tobacco. Superb latakia mixture, smokey, salty, sweet; full of flavours. Medium to strong, I just wish it had a bit more nicotine.

Billy Bud is another story. Lots of latakia and a bit of cigar leaf. A strong one.

I blend this with an equal amount of Frog Morton and the result is almost excellent, if only it burned a bit better.

I like Blue Mt. And Margate but I really like Boswells Countryside

Had to edit almost forgot go pease gas light and quiet nights.
