[QUOTE="glpease, post: 21491, member: 18"] Syrian and Cyprian Latakia are quite different in taste, aroma and character. I wrote [url=http://www.glpease.com/Articles/Latakia.html]this article[/url] about 10 years ago, when Syrian Latakia was first re-introduced to the pipe world. It's still mostly relevant. There's a lot of misapprehension about Syrian Latakia today. I've been sent samples of some really bad examples of the "real thing," and other samples that were no more Syrian than I am. I've also tasted several European products claiming the inclusion of Syrian leaf, and in some cases, have found these claims highly suspect. The search for quality Syrian continues. (A couple of manufacturers have stores of vintage Syrian leaf that is of the same superb quality as the stuff we lost in the now legendary warehouse fire. There's no knowing how long their supplies will last, or what will happen when they run out. And, no, they won't sell any to me. I've tried...) [/QUOTE]
