Latakia Blends

Latakia Blends

I have been ordering and trying a lot of English Latakia blends, and I am really enjoying it as of late. However, I am a bit uninformed to say the least as to what is the best english tobacco, so I am turning to you my few but loyal followers. Anyone have any good suggestions for me for a great English blend? Thanks in advance!

    Try Three Oaks Syrian. It’s my favorite. I also like Butera’s Royal Vintage Latakia #2.

    Bought my first tin of S Gawaith Squadron Leader recently as it ticked all the right boxes but I just can’t get on with it. Tastes almost aromatic to me despite not being so; sweet and mild and far too moist out of the tin. Maybe I’ll put it away and see what happens.
