[QUOTE="jj1015, post: 206602, member: 207"] Again - that just goes to show how we each taste things differently! I've smoked several pounds of Larry's Blend (for a long time it was my go-to daily smoke) and I never considered it to be a lat-bomb in the sense that Odyssey is. It's a lot more complex, and the latakia never reached the point where it tasted like I just licked a campfire. The latakia is definitely prominent in Larry's Blend, but I just don't put it in the same category as Pirate Kake, Odyssey, etc. Just my opinion, though! Your point about the interaction with the orientals is kind of what I was driving at above -- I think that the choice of orientals and Vas tend to be what drives the "fullness" of a blend. It's why Odyssey and Larry's Blend -- to me at least -- both have "fuller" profiles than, say, Pirate Kake. It's always a mistake to focus on one component of a blend, as it's nearly always the synergy of tobaccos that makes the final product memorable. [/QUOTE]
