[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 209618, member: 1969"] Well, I love Latakia, and I also love a well-balanced mixture. Greg says it best, and I'll paraphrase his sentiments a little by understanding that tobacco isn't simply about adding things, it's about ratios and how they relate to one another. You have to "build" it right, or it won't go together correctly--because if you add too much of one thing, you can't take it away, and if the balance is screwy, so will be the tobacco. Okay, nothing new here, we all know this. That said, this is why I think I liked Sextant a little more than SGNF...and with my Latakia love, one might think, "Gee, Virginia with a nice portion of Latakia, you must be in heaven with SG Navy Flake!" Au contraire. The additional tobaccos in Sextant take up space that would otherwise be taken up by a focus of Virginia on the Latakia in SGNF. This creates a balance, albeit a more complex one. He has said before, something to the order of work well with what you have. He succeeds. I still really like SGNF, but it's pretty meat-and-potatoes done extremely well. Simple is divine. Sextant is a dynamic, contemporary, well-plated multi-Michelin-star main course. There's a lot of love and creativity in there. I have space on my shelf for both. [/QUOTE]
