[QUOTE="idbowman, post: 373617, member: 2165"] About two years after first picking up the pipe I first tried Latakia - and HATED the stuff. I stayed away from anything with so much as a shred of Latakia in it for four or five years. Then I got the hankering to try it again, and picked up some Frog Morton on the advice of others. Then things changed forever. I'm not convinced that the FM was "better" than the lat blends I'd tried earlier so much as a matter of an ever-changing palate (in fact, those "bad" blends that put me off are very enjoyable nowadays)...but it was certainly what I was looking for at the time. It's sweetish but not artificial, Latakia is DEFINITELY there, but its not overdone. Creamy, smoky, sweet - the sort of thing I'd imagine many new (lat) smokers expect it to be. Anyway...that's the long way of saying I'd recommend Frog Morton (regular/original blend). [/QUOTE]
