At one time I really enjoyed Latakia-rich British and full British blends. At the time, the smokey, saline, plum-dark and oily smooth flavors were nothing short of sublime; and few other styles could stand up to them. But I found that I couldn't eat prime rib at every meal, every day; and I broke with that habit in favor of the American style blends: Va / Burley / Perique in various combinations. These days I find the British blends a little overwhelming: like getting clobbered with flavor as opposed to being caressed by it. Does anyone else have that experience?
