Introduction to latakia

Product: Sutliff Burma Road Bulk
This was my first try at a latakia blend, first impression was a very sour note. My guess is the rum topping is overpowering so much so that I could barely notice the smokiness from the latakia. Maybe it's my virgin pallette but I'm still on the fence about this blend. It is a smooth and cool smoke but the room note is harsher than the rating would suggest, wife was not a fan and she has enjoyed others I have smoked....Read More
Former cigar smoker

This blend gets better and better the more you smoke it. For a killer homebrew blend, mix this 50/50 with strathspey. Pipe smoking is fundamentally different than cigar smoking. I thought aromatic meant more gentle, but in reality it just means more gurgle and throat burn. This is just right: flavor, room note and burn. Easy to meter the nicotine and oh so pleasant all the way to the heel. Stocking up now....Read More
Best flavor

This is one of the best blends I have ever had. Lights easily, burns evenly, and leaves no moisture in the bottom of the bowl.

This is a great light anytime, anywhere solid gold smoke for me. I ended up buying a 4oz bag when it was on sale to give it a shot and I'll never look back. I'd recommend it all day long, definitely a must try at the very least. So pick up a pouch and happy smoking my friends.

… you know what I’m saying. Seriously give it a try. It’s very similar. A sweetened Virginia forward blend with a pinch of Latakia. Reminds me of a other blend I once knew…
Walkin' on a Burma road...yeah.

I'd tailgate on the west end of that road anytime with a pipe full of the Burnme. It burns us if we puff too vigorously, but that's a small price to pay to experience this savory gem.

Update: 11/23/21 After about nine months of celaring, this one has settled down a bit. It bites less an
d has a more refined incense like character that's very enjoyable....I recommend buying on sale and leaving it in a dark corner for a while before partaking....Read More
Great crossover blend

This is a pretty straightforward cavendish Virginia aromatic. A wonderful vanilla note off the first puffs. A nice sweetness, some grass, and hay from the Virginia with the cavendish and topping mellowing out and sweetening the blend. What makes this sweet mellow blend stand out is the pinch of Latakia. It’s not a lat bomb and the Latakia takes a back seat roll but it’s definitely there in a supporting roll. It turns an otherwise ok aromatic into something more enjoyable by adding some flavorful smokiness....Read More

Latakia? Where, very faint in the background. This is a nice tasty blend I smoked today while doing yard work. I wanted something different that a 1-Q, VBC or CH. I wanted different taste something for me to say, “hmm that was nice”. I wish it had more Latakia (I’ll throw some in my next go around and maybe some Perique). This is not a complicated blend at all, the vanilla and rum makes this blend smooth and tasty. The rum is less than the vanilla but you can taste both. A great blend for me when I want a tasty smoke, but don’t need to ponder quantum physics....Read More
