Plum Pudding is one of my regular blends. In other words, it is one of my favorite blends. I love Latakia, and Plum Pudding delivers the deep rich and dark taste that I look for in a Latakia blend. It lights well, burns well, and delivers great flavors. And it provides a little extra entertainment. Since it comes in the form of a pressed crumble cake, you have the fun of rubbing it out for your pipe. All in all it is a very good blend for those who smoke Latakia and enjoy a good Balkan/English blend.
