Product: Germain's Special Latakia Flake 50g

Tin note of tangy fruit, spices, and mild smoky. Tobacco is black and brown mottled flakes with a fair bit of plume. Moisture content is fair and rubs (almost crumbles) out easily. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and very consistent, with complex notes of floral, wood, smoky, spices, musty vegetation, fermented sour, savory, toasted bread, mildly acidic, spicy, leather, tangy citrus, herbal incense, creamy, a tartly mildly sweet background note, and a peppery retro. Latakia is leading with Oriental/Turkish supporting. Virginias are supporting from the rear. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is outstanding....Read More

Germain's Star of the East Flake.

Germain's is one of the brands that can be difficult to acquire. Luckily, the pipe smoking community are a great bunch who help one another when they can. The staff at SmokingPipes.com have always been so helpful! I especially like the One-Time Alert feature available on out-of-stock items, this can be essential to obtaining certain blends, so if you're not using it, you're missing out. And, if you love Latakia flakes, you don't want to miss Germain's Special Latakia Flake. This has a very similar structure and taste to Cornell & Diehl's popular Star of the East Flake IMO. Perhaps Germain's is a touch sweeter, but both are rare enough that I'd settle for either when and where I can get it. The Special flakes are chunky and not overly moist, which I find uncommon for Germain's tobacco. In other words, this was perfect for smoking straight away. And what a delicious smoke it is. The Latakia is strong yet not overpowering and is the predominate flavor sure to please its fans. The flakes crumble almost like a cake and when gravity packed, can provide a long, slow smoke. I get a good hour-long smoke out of a medium sized bowl, easily. I find it doesn't require as many re-lights in a wider, shallower bowl; so an Apple or Prince works great (it seemed to smoke best in my Peterson 408). As with many tobaccos of limited runs, I choose to cellar in jars and partake sparingly hoping to make it last until I can find them again. Germain's Special Latakia Flake is too good to go untried. If you can find it, make sure to get a tin. If you can find two tins, share one with a friend. Enjoy....Read More

At the end of "The Maltese Falcon," Ward Bond, who plays Bogart's detective friend, hefts the statuette of the falcon and says to Bogart's Sam Spade, "Heavy ... what is it Sam?" Bogart takes the falcon from Bond and hefts it himself. With his characteristic grimace of a smile, Bogart says, "The stuff that dreams are made of." Enough said....Read More

很拉他基

Product: Germain's Special Latakia Flake 50g

拿出一包陈了5年的草，状态偏湿，一捏就碎，很有老饼的感觉。拉他基的味道很足，伴有一些酸酸的梅子味道，要注意醒草不够充分的话斗温会比较高。

身体很诚实的一款草

很好的调配！味道香甜烟气柔和，并不是饱满度很高的那种浓郁型烟草，我抽着感觉更倾向于微微调香的拉特基亚混合。调味不等于低端，这个在国内是一个严重的误区
