Re: Reccomend a blend

I rarely smoke Latakia; as much as I try, it just doesn't float my
boat.

BUT: if you want to try an amaing blend, try McClelland Anniversary.

This tobacco originally came out in 2002 to celebrate McClelland's 25th
Anniversary. It was a limited edition. Demand was so strong that
McClellandadded it to its regular portfolio.

It is composed of two high qulaity Virginias, with a small percentage
(AFAIK less than 5 pct) Latakia: more than anything, the Latakia is a
condiment.

You taste latakia on the charring light and maybethe first 1/4-1/3 of
thebowl. Then, as the tobacco opens up, the Virginias come out and the
Latakia steps back.

It is amazing and of higher quality than any tobacco I can think of.

An overall rating of three stars.
