Mac Baren: HH Latakia Flake 16oz Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-039-0085
The Latakia up front, the Virginia chimes in with a bit of sweetness, the Orientals throw in spice, while the Burley provides elements of nut and earth. All are hot-pressed, to marry the flavors into a dark, complex cooperation. HH Latakia Flake is, in short, another uniquely fine flake brought to us from Mac Baren..

SOUR, Spicy, Salty, Savory

later. For now, my ready-rubbed flakes are nice. It's got the dark fired burley very typical of Mac Baren and HH. It's got some very sour orientals. It's got some brisket-like latakia. And the Virginias are dark and matured. The result is one savory, salty, vinegary, barbecued, very American take on an "English" blend. It is not English at all, we just say that when latakia is involved, which is weird because Latakia is a port in Syria and not English at all. In any case, it's good. The sour blast tapers off quickly, making room for the bready figgy virginia sweetness, with smoky brisket latakia dancing in and out. It's much better after three years of high pressure cellaring, much more cool and mellow, but if you smoke it fresh you still might like it. Do NOT start here if you're looking for your first foray into "English" tobacco. This isn't English, it's an American slant on a quasi-English tradition....Read More

onsistent, with notes of sweet campfire, earth, pine wood, floral, herbal spice, leather, sour musty vegetative note, sweet grass, tart lemon, mild bitter nuts and a moderately peppery retro. Virginias is barely winning the lead over Latakia. Orientals are supporting. Burleys is providing backup. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is awesome....Read More

hnique.
I really love HH Bold Kentucky, typically having a flake of it with coffee each morning to get me going. So I decided to take a chance on this HH Latakia Flake. I’m very happy I did, it’s superb.
For the first 3rd of the bowl it has quite a tangy raspberry/lemon flavor in addition to a decent amount of distinct Latakia flavor, and in the last two thirds it has a very very similar taste and aroma to The Bear, just a bit less heavy and intense and a bit more dry and spicy, probably from the orientals.
This is a truly superb tobacco and can be enjoyed any time of day without fear of too much or too little flavor or nicotine. Absolutely a 10 out of 10, it’s brilliant....Read More

on’t have the time to complete a full bowl in one sitting, and this tobacco does well using the Delayed Gratification Technique. I am ordering a pound of this (as well as Old Dark Fired) a month to stockpile- it is that good....Read More
