[QUOTE="jj1015, post: 152248, member: 207"] I believe you are right about the Lane bases being used here. When I was first learning to smoke a pipe, I discovered latakia through some of the house blends at the Gatlin-Burlier b&m in Gatlinburg. That shop uses Lane base tobaccos for its blends, and rather proudly displays some of the awards they'e won from Lane for the blends they've come up. In any case, I recently repurchased some of their heavy latakia blends (Smokies Smoke-Eaze and Cumberland) and they have a LOT in common with Northwoods. I believe that Boswell's likely uses the exact same base tobaccos only with more latakia and less cavendish. I suspects there is also some type of additional topping or spice included that mimics what orientals do in Balkans like Odyssey. All three blends have a tremendous amount in common in appearance, aroma, texture, taste, smoking characteristics, and even that odd aftertaste which I suspect is the result of a heavy hand with the PG. I thought I had long ago given up on this type of blend in favor of more "natural" Balkans, but Northwoods has something special going on with it. [/QUOTE]
