[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 373658"] I get where you are coming from entirely. Altho I have no objections to the aroma of orientals, or latakia for that matter, it is the one type of tobacco that my mouth really doesn't get along with. Small doses for me. People seem to have wildly variant perceptions of orientals and latakia as well. For me the smell of burning pine with Cyprian Latakia is omnipresent. It baffles me that some people cannot detect it at all. I mean it REALLY baffles me. Back in the 70s I had a friend who smoked Sobranie Black Russians, unless memory is playing tricks on me. In my head that is what I am looking for with orientals but I haven't found it yet with a pipe tobacco. Anyway, if the OP is hoping to re-try English Blends, something like Presbyterian is a good start because it is very gentle for that style. Avoiding orientals only for Latakia is a different route altogether I think. Fwiw, the Solani 763 has Syrian Latakia, which to my mind is more complex and subtle, but with cavendish rather than orientals, if one really wants to avoid orientals. But as you say, to each his own. :) [/QUOTE]
