English Blends with Latakia

Latakia - English Blends with Latakia

Latakia mixtures get their full, spicy shaping through the addition of tasty Latakia tobacco from Near East. They are smoke-cured with a special treatment. For some pipe smokers these blends are the ultimate high point of smoking. They all have an extremely strong and intense room note.

Don't be afraid of Latakia! Come over to the spicy side of tobacco!

There are only two ways when it comes to Latakia: either you love it or hate it. On the continet and especially in Germany pipe smokers usually prefer aromatic pipe tobaccoes.  But there are also some enthusiasts who exclusively smoke English blends. In Great Britain and Ireland things are different, English mixtures are very popular there.

The smoky Latakia tobacco from Syria or Cyprus tastes excellently in the salty air of the sea. Spicy tobacco, a soft breeze and the waves crashing to the shore: that paints a perfect picture. Why don't you try a bowl of it when you are there for a visit? Yes, the room note of these mixtures is not as pleasant as this of aromatic blends. You may compare it with garlic, if you like it you will get lots of taste. Even if you do not like the tin note of Latakia, you should give ita try. It even lowers the nicotine level of a blend. A pipe filled with an English mixture keeps its taste until the very end. To smoke a Latakia pipe is a very satisfying experience, not just on rainy days.

For frequent pleasure we recommend the use of pipes from which only English mixtures are smoked. Otherwise your pipe will keep the characteristic Latakia taste for the next few fillings. This can distort the taste of aromatic or natural tobaccoes. Please feel free to ask for a sample that we can send you with your next order. Of course you can try our different Latakia blends with no hurry in our shop in Miltenberg.
