In the past 2 weeks I've been on a Latakia blend binge. I bought 3 Oaks Syrian, Blue Mountain, H&H's Black House and Magnum Opus.
The throw-down contast from this past summer piqued my curiosity regarding matching that legendary Balkan blend so I just had to get the Blue Mountain and Black House. Granted, its been many years since I've had the original but that does not matter since each of these blends is outstanding on its own merits.
I'm bringing them to the B&M this afternoon for the guys to try and see which one they think is most representative.
Its been a fun month to say the least.
