[QUOTE="DrumsAndBeer, post: 355772, member: 2403"] The only web based "diddy" that I was able to find that gives any info whatsoever on the the types of wood used in the curing process of Latakia is here - [url=http://www.leffingwell.com/download/latakia2013.pdf]http://www.leffingwell.com/download/latakia2013.pdf[/url] I have no clue as to the validity of the info but for those that don't want to read through the bulk of it, the info on Cyprian Latakia reads - [i]"It has been reported that the Mastic shrub (Pistacia lentiscus) is primarily used in the smoke generation for Cyprian Latakia tobacco (15). The following formula, based on this report, may approximate the shrubs and woods used for the smoke-curing process. Mastic (Pistacia lentiscus) 90% Myrtle - Myrtus communis 4% Cypress - Cupressus sempervirens 4% Stone Pine (Pinus pinea or Pinus pinaster) 4% Other 1% "[/i] Prior to that, Syrian [i]"is reputed to have been smoke cured primarily by burning the green leafy branches and twigs of the Allepo pine (Pinus halepensis) and Oak (Quercus species), along with lesser amounts of other aromatic species [e.g. Lebanon cedar (Cedrus libani), and Juniperus excelsa].
