    What are your favorite Lat bombs?

    Picked up a tin of English/Balkan mixure by Pfeiffen Huber when I was in Munich recently. They had given me a sample when I said I liked latakia, the claim is that the blend has over 80% lat in it, so I guess it qualifies as a lat bomb! Great stuff I must say. Their description, roughly...
