[QUOTE="Benton, post: 107605, member: 318"] Classic Samsun is the first blend that I've tried that was good enough to distract me from the rest of my collection entirely. I have smoked very little else since May. It's a great, well-behaved VA with a little toasty flavor and fantastic room note from the Samsun. Drama Reserve is also good. The "olive oil" flavor is very distinctive and not disgusting like you might imagine. The blend has a little bitterness similar to a burly, but it comes and goes. A friend gave me half a tin of Yejinde Highlander, which I can't recommend. It has a very small amount of latakia in it. I think that latakia in small amounts makes a blend muddy and boring. In Yejinde Highlander, it covers up the subtle flavors of the VA and oriental, but isn't strong enough to add much flavor. In my opinion latakia is best blended in with a heavy hand or not at all.
