One Of My All Time Favorites.

Product: McConnell Latakia Flake 50g
The name of this blend is confusing as it hardly tastes of Latakia at all, it tastes like a very old school British Flake. I find that it is extremely similar to GH&Co’s Revor Plug and both have a wonderful mysterious, subtle top dressing that I real... Read More
ly can’t put my finger on but it’s magical. This is strong in nicotine but the smoke is so smooth and tasty it might sneak up on you. I prefer to smoke it in the cooler months and around October of every year I’ve come to get very excited to bring this one back in my rotation. The flakes come at the optimal moisture level, they are ready to crumble up and load in the pipe right when you pop the tin. I prefer to smoke this in a smaller chamber, something like a squat bulldog is perfect, in larger bowls this stuff can get a tad bitter the further you get down the bowl. This is an absolutely hidden gem within the McConnell line up and by far my favorite. This provides an amazing smoking experience on every level and is just magical in the cooler months!

Interesting blend

Product: McConnell Latakia Flake 50g
The tin note is very sweet smelling, the taste however is lighter on the latakia then I expected but the dark fired plays really well with it. So I get a nice woodsy earthy incense combination from the 2 and the Cavendish rounds out the blend to crea... Read More

Top of the Line Flake

Reminds me of campfire s'mores. Latakia gives the wood smoke. Dark Fired Kentucky adds the toastiness, and the Black Cavendish adds the Chocolate richness. Solid blend. Love it.

This has absolutely no latakia and has a very abrasive odor, buy some peterson early morning
Smooth. Heavy. Dark chocolate.

Product: McConnell Latakia Flake 50g
Not really what I was expecting, much less emphasis on the Latakia than you’d expect in a Latakia flake. Definitely needs some time to dry. Very dark, rich, sweet, and heavy. A dessert blend for sure. I think it’s just too sweet and heavy in body for... Read More
earlier in the day, or in hot or humid weather. Similar to Mississippi River, plum pudding, Mississippi mud, and probably all other black cavendish/Latakia combinations this can have a kind of muddy taste. Not too much nicotine. I probably won’t smoke this too often but I think it would appeal to smokers who like sweet English blends such as Presbyterian, but want a nighttime or cold weather smoke. Read Less

Product: McConnell Latakia Flake 50g
Cold smell something soapy with fresh notes of acid sweet fruit like a plums very nice.
You can smoke directly from the tin. Burning it delivers a pretty nice not very thick smoke, rich flavor. It has a constant strength from start to finish. I must... Read More
