[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 225399, member: 1969"] This is one of those notions (from whomever it came originally) that has me wondering that the deal is with "Lat bombs" anyway. I really like Latakia, and I don't know if it's just me or not, but I simply can't taste/sense any more after a certain point. When I'm really thirsty, I love drinking ice cold water--but if I try and pour 64 ounces of it in a 24 ounce cup, it just seems futile. This is my rationale with Latakia. Senses and palate simply get dulled. Any blend/mix is limited to the bowl in which it is contained, lit and smoked. If 70%+ of it is Latakia, and I'm only getting 20% - 30% maximum flavor, that leaves me with maybe a total of 60% (maximum) taste satisfaction from any given bowl. The typical "Lat bomb" focuses on the Latakia like some hot sauces only look at the heat and the pain, not the flavor--that's why Ten Russians impressed me. It has balance and taste but retains its strength from a good foundation of tobacco. While I liked Pirate Kake, I loved Ten Russians. Unless someone can suggest a possible tasty alternative, if I really have the need for a "Lat bomb," I've crested this particular pipe pinnacle. 8) [/QUOTE]
