    Latakia with aromatics?

    I was just curious if there's a Latakia blend with aromatic qualities like vanilla or rum or something such as this? I think it would be great but haven't seen anything like this.

    Vanilla goes great with Latakia! I'd consider Frog Morton an aromatic in that style, though others might not. Also Shortcut to Mushrooms.

    StM is glorious. If you consider the liquor side of flavoring, Esoterica Pembroke and GL Pease Sextant are regular favorites.

    I've had Shortcut to Mushrooms and really liked it! It was a little brothy but good.

    Frog Morton (et al minus On the Bayou) too is a favorite of mine.

    I have been given some Pembroke and Penzance which I hope to try this week.

    Moonshine Pipe Co XXX Blend is a full English (Lat) blend with rum. Really delicious.

    Frog Morton's Cellar is a beautifully balanced lat blend with an infusion of whiskey

    Gawith Hoggarth Bob's Chocolate Flake is a strong blend with latakia and a chocolate essence

    Two Friends English Chocolate is a good English with a nice chocolate top note.

    Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend is an American/English with some latakia and a wine or brandy top note.

    Sutliff's Revelation match is a blend with latakia and a sweet fruity topping

    Sutliff's Country Doctor match is an American English with a subtle aromatic topping

    Hearth & Home's Chestnut is also an American English with a lightly sweet topping (not sure what)

    I'm registered there, I searched. Lots of choices - too many. Not knowing exactly what to enter in the SEARCH bar is a big obstacle.

    Either way, I posted here and got some very friendly responses and great suggestions. I grabbed HH Chestnut as well as the Moonshine Pipes XXX and Sextant. Tomorrow I try the XXX and am super excited about it.

    Smoking some Sutliff Academy nkw . Not a bad blend, though it would better without the burley.

    Frog Morton Cellar is phenomenal IMO.
    It is not an aromatic by definition, but tastes great. Nice and sweet and smoky.

    One of my favorites.
    Check out my Youtube channel, Razorback Piper Guy if you like that sort of thing.

    Maybe not a true aromatic, but Samuel Gawith Navy Flake has Latakia.
