whats the best latakia tobacco

[Mister Moo]

"whats the best latakia tobacco?" = How long is a ball of string?

A lot of folks (me included) would say Balkan Sobranie, long since discontinued, was the best. That's if you like deep, sweet smoke. Closest I've come (also hard to find this week) is Smokers Haven 20th Anniversary Imported followed closely by Penzance and Rattrays Red Rapparee, still tasty, but at a distance.

Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader is always a pleasure but it is in the "intermediate and a little different" group.

I just tried GL Pease Charing Cross for first time - I smoked an ounce in a few days spread out over two briars and one meer. I thought it was really, really, really good. It has some very nice latakia backed prominently by sweet-sweet virginia. It is quite special, I'd say. I'd also say it's the only GLP blend I ever sat up and said "WOW!" about.

Enjoy your pursuit. There are only about 500 blends to choose from.
