What Is the Biggest Lat Bomb Blend You've Smoked?

[chefbrian]

I'm looking for a big latakia bomb blend. Weather oriental or english, doesn't matter to me.

 

[philobeddoe]

C&D's Pirate Kake.

 

[judcole]

Hermit Tobacco Captain Earle's 10 Russians.

 

[lordnoble]

I'm with Jud... Hermit Tobacco Captain Earle's Ten Russians. It's a Lat bomb in cake form and will put hair on your chest. Make sure you smoke this one on a full stomach.

[taerin]

Pure Latakia, closely followed by Penzance.

 

[pipebow88]

Penzance for me

B

 

[uberam3rica]

Penzance followed by H&H Larrys Blend

 

[lordwolf]

Gotta go with jud and lordnoble on this one as well. Hermit Tobacco Captain Earle's Ten Russians. Not only will it put hair on your chest but it will burn it off as well.

I like C&D's billy budd, and then there's always Dunhill nightcap.

 

[cigrmaster]

Old Ironsides by a mile. I think it has something like 80% Latakia I think I read once.

 

[supdog]

Star of the East and da Vinci, both by C&D. I have not smoked either one, but really want to try the SOTE.

 

[papipeguy]

C&D'd Pirate Kake and Mississippi Mud.

 

[moses]

I'm going to have to +1 the Pirate Kake. Good stuff if that's what you're in the mood for. Which I tend to be if I want an uncomplicated but not entirely one dimensional latakia smoke.

I don't go after Lat per se, just taking it one blend at a time, but I do enjoy a good traditional

English blend. Nightcap seems to come with a nice jolt of Lat and nicotine, both.

 

[kashmir]

I smoke mainly Latakia forward blends, and can recommend Pirate Kake (70%), Star of the East (50%), Westminster, Odyssey, Abingdon, Odessa, Red Odessa, Campfire, and Engine 99. Also Nightcap, London Mixture and Balkan Sasieni.

 

[pstlpkr]

I don't smoke a whole lot of Latakia blends, (The War Department isn't a big fan)...

However; one that sticks in my memory is Billy Budd.

My first experience was a sample sent to me by a friend...

There was a note written on the sample... "SMOKE OUTSIDE!"...

Nuff said.

So many of those blends I've not tried yet. For me I guess it would be a 2006 tin of McClelland Syrian Super Balkan.

 

[erichbaumer]

SOTE, but I really need to try Pirate Kake and 10 Russians.

 

[jpberg]

10 Russians, Odyssey, Old Ironsides, Pirate Kake, Star of the East Flake. "Lat Bomb" seems a screwy term to me. All the listed blends are very good tasting blends that have a heavy proportion of Latakia, if that's what you are looking for.

 

[juvat270]

C&D's da Vinci. Good Stuff!
