Macbaren HH Latakia Flake question

[PMR]

I only have a little Latakia experience and enjoy it being smooth and less in the forefront. Can anyone tell me anything about Macbaren HH Latakia Flake?

I've had Hearth and Home Obsidian and it was too smokey. But I really enjoy Frog on the Town.

If the one I asked about isn't a good choice can anyone recommend a good Latakia for me to move forward please?

[Emperor Zurg]

Haven't had that particular one but here are a few I'd recomend...

HH Old Dark Fired: This one doesn't have the tarry notes of latakia but the dark fired leaf gives it different kind of smoky which is very pleasant

Frog Morton's Cellar: semi-aromatic with a whiskey topping and light on the latakia. I might just go load a bowl now

Dunhill Early Morning Pipe: There's latakia but there's also a good amount of orientals and virginia to balance it out. The tobacco has an incense like flavor and smell. Sound gross but it's very nice.

I'll give them a try, thanks! I had been curious about Frog Morton's Cellar.

Pm me your addy and I'll toss a few bowls in an envelope and send it your way.

That's very nice of you. PM inbound.

I avoid latakia and found this one to be an interesting alternative.

SG Navy Flake. Balanced and very high quality.

I didn't find the Latakia in Obsidian too smokey, maybe that was the perique you picked up on? MacBaren Latakia flake is one of the smoother Lat blends out there. I think it's right what you're looking for.

I smoked the Obsidian today just to check to see if I was wrong about which tobacco it was and I have to stick with Latakia.

Ok, so I got a package in the mail yesterday from Emperor Zurg. He bombed me good. I was only looking for a helpful hint as to which way to go and I got slammed by his generosity! Have a look:


I haven't had a chance to smoke one yet today but I think I'm going for the Frog Morton. That's the one I displayed backwards...
