Enough said.

Blue mountain / Balkan Blue won the people's vote at the competition it was introduced, and it was meant to be a competition about who could get close to the legendary Balkan Sobranie. Prob their best balkan right there.

Did somebody call Frog Morton a lat bomb? Did I hear that right?

Lmao. I agree, they do tend to be on the milder side.

I always thought of the Frogs as Latakia blends for people who don't like Latakia. OK, that's a joke. Nonetheless, they're simply not Latakia heavies like British Woods or Full Balkan Reserve, to name some other McC Latakia blends. It's a scale thing.

Eh, I really do like full english blends but every once in a while I still enjoy a bowl or 2 of FM, FMC, FMOTT or Across the pond. It's a milder different type of english but the virginia components make it very different from others out there. It gives it a sweet BBQ like aroma instead of the smokier aroma you get on more traditional english blends... which can be a good thing.

That being said, I agree. I would not consider FM to be a lat bomb. In fact, most people refer to it as an aromatic english (even though I don't really agree with that).

Those 2 blends you mentioned are indeed excellent choices.
