[QUOTE="jj1015, post: 171452, member: 207"] GL Pease's Maltese Falcon and Odyssey. Both are brilliant latakia blends. Hearth and Home's Magnum Opus. The name says it all here -- a stellar Balkan blend, with loads of complexity. McClelland's Wilderness and Legends. These are absolutely stellar mixtures. Wilderness uses a hefty portion of Syrian latakia, while Legends sticks to the more common Cyprian variety. The only drawback to these is that, like most McClelland mixtures, they are fairly light blends. G&H Balkan Mixture. This is a "sleeper" blend if there ever was one. The latakia in this one is distinct -- it's a more oily and smokier version than what I'm accustomed to. Boswell's Northwoods. This is my daily latakia smoke. It's not quite as rich or complex as the others (although still no slouch in either department) but it's burning characteristics are superb and I can smoke it all day without roasting my tongue. I really don't think you would go wrong with any of these. A lot of guys swear by the Dunhill blends and Penzance, but I'm not one of them. I never liked the Dunhills very much, as they have an odd, peaty flavor I don't care for. Penzance is a brilliant blend in its own way, but more for the odd combo of orientals then for the latakia.
