[QUOTE="Eulenburg, post: 67646, member: 811"] Same [i]exact[/i] thing happened to me. I became a Virginia-and-Périque aficionado. Yes! Unfortunately, that's the scent of Latakia. When I was in graduate school, a classmate's husband used to smoke Nightcap and I loved that pungent, burning tree-bark, incense-like smell so (Frankincense is rasin from the bark of the olibanum tree) that I just had to smoke it myself. I still love the scent, but I no longer enjoy the taste. The taste of Turkish leaf, though, corresponds to that smell, somehow (that's why Latakia blends so well with orientals) and so I have become a great lover of Virginia-and-Orientals [i]without Latakia [/i]blends: My favourites: 1. Fox' Campanile {Among my half-dozen essentials} 2. McClelland's Oriental No 8 [Scrumptious after-taste; the tell-tale sign of a great Oriental mix] 3. McClelland's Yenidje Supreme [Ditto] 4. GL Pease's Embarcadero [red Virginia and Izmir leaf, YUM!] 5. Ashton's Pebblecut [Nutty dark-yellow and red Virginia and Macedonia; deelish.] 6. Dan's Midnight Ride 7. GL Pease's Cairo [lemony Virginia and Orientals; like dry white wine; perfect for a hot day] 8. Presbyterian Mixture [Virginia and Macedonian; mild and soothing] [/QUOTE]
