Odyssey

[seadogontheland]

I was very impressed with this blend from first light, it scared me it was so damn smoky with Latakia and I loved it!! Another fine Balkan/English which had the ability to hit me with such profound smokiness yet also uplift the VAs and the Orientals. Again, this is such a good, chewy creation...the smoke almost seemed to stick to my teeth. I actually had to fan the plume from my face while driving one afternoon. Some may call this a Lat Bomb and they would not be far off, but any shrapnel from this bomb is of the palate pleasing type. Simply Delicious and it doesn't scare me anymore...respect it however?...YES!!

I'm sorry, that one escapes me at the moment; who makes it? Nicotine?

 

[seadogontheland]

GL Pease and its not that high in Nicotine but quite full bodied.

GL Pease makes it.

I agree with your review, it is quite "chewy" and a very nice blend.

 

[seadogontheland]

Definitely good stuff...one of my first and most favorite heavy lat blends.

I would agree with your description, for me it defines how far my palate wants to go on the smokey latakia front. I would not purchase anything that is known to be smokier than odyssey, and I would only very occasionally reach for this blend, respect is a good way to put it.

 

[seadogontheland]

I'm with you Morton, more latakia than Odyssey and its a little much for my tastes.

Can you believe I've been smoking for almost 15 years and have never tried it?
