[QUOTE="wake_n_flake, post: 479253, member: 4097"] I have heard that from others, and it is definitely high on my list to try, even though I have an irrational cringe to MacBaren products due to smoking them pretty much exclusively for a couple years and getting burned out on them. I realize LF is a different animal, and no disrespect to people that love macbaren blends. I just got tired out of some of the common characteristics of their Virginia based blends. First bowl impression of SLF - great, outstanding in fact...but not that much Latakia in this bowl, IMO. It was pretty Virginia forward for me, in a positive way. The smokiness was there, but laid back. I got a grassy, apricot note, similar to orlik GS, but without the peppery-ness, but also some supporting latakia and herbalness. Really cool. I can see by looking at the flakes in this tin that some are very black and some are very bright golden. I imagine each bowl is a bit different in proportion, and I can dig that. I look forward to really getting after this tin hard. [/QUOTE]
