the best latakia blend i have ever smoked. better than all the dunhill's, by far ( imho) there is just enough syrian latakia to taste, the yenidje can be tasted, the perique can be tasted, the virginias are there. excellent. get some, like twenty tins! everything by the PCCA has been excellent. this is very complex, the taste over all is just like tudor Castle but with a background of smoke like a campfire. i am not a huge fan of latakia, but i am finding Syrian not too bad ata all. I really cant say how good this is, its really good. I have smoked three bowls of this yesterday, in a row!!! i dont think i have ever smoked three bowls in a row, ever. i smoked two in a 1919 BBB small calabash, its like this blend and this pipe were made for each other, the other bowl in an Eltang bing billiard. very, very, good. this will get even better with age. i would be interested in others thoughts on this. highly recommended, even for those who dont usually like latakia blends.

Addendum: there is good amount of nicotene in this as well which took me off guard, pleasantly so.

Well, this justs get better and better! I am finding that even though the leaf is still young and a little raw, as the tin has been open for two weeks this is moving into the very good category. i just finished the tin, and i must say i have never smoked a tin so fast before. I have been fully rubbing it out and letting it dry to almost crispy and it has been providing me with some amazing smokes. with all the virginia in this blend i think it has amazing ageing potential. I am looking forward to trying PCCA's other syrian blends, if there are any left. This Syrian truly is wonderfull stuff. The only problem is now i have to try all the other Syrian blends out there! Very Happy
