By design all my blends are latakia dominant, with latakia typically 50% of the blend and this was no exception.
PS310 Black Latakia
52%..............16 oz
Sutliff 515 RC Red Virginia
13%................4 oz
Sutliff 507s Stoved Virginia
6.6%...............2 oz
Sutliff B20 Black Cavendish
6.6%................2 oz
Sutliff TS24 Blended Turkish
6.6%................2 oz
Sutliff TS20 Louisiana Perique
6.6%................2 oz
Leaf Only Turkish Samsun
3.3%................1 oz
Leaf Only Greek Basma
3.3%................1 oz
Leaf Only Nicotiana Rustica
2.0%............... .5 oz
The room note is what you might expect. The nicotiana rustica was included to add some nicotine. Both the latakia and stoved Virginia have minimal nicotine and while I didn't want the blend to be nicotine heavy, I did want some. There was some temptation to explore including some cigar leaf, but that's for the next blend. In terms of cost per ounce, this was far less than one pays for tinned Balkan/English.
