[QUOTE="DrumsAndBeer, post: 372593, member: 2403"] From what I understand, it is listed separately because Latakia is the end result of a process of curing the tobacco. It's a fire/smoke cured Oriental. This distinction is similar to why Perique and Kentucky are listed separately from Burley even though they both start out as burley. Kentucky is fire cured, Perique goes through a fermentation process and is aged for a long period of time in hogsheads. I should also mention that some older blends made no distinction between Oriental and Latakia. For the longest time Early Morning Pipe was just listed as a VA/Oriental, as was Rattray's Red Rapparee.
