Re: vwman
Ho Ho Ho!
How'd you guess? I only left a very few very suble hints... or so I thought...
Now I can answer your question RE: the Latakia sampler
Latakia isn't necessarily more full bodied, but it seems to be used to balance out stronger blends and keep them burning cooler, and therefore is found in your more traditional english-type blends. I personally feel like it has a smoky element to it... I know that seems kinda silly, but I think Latakia lends the Tobacco it is blended with a smoky note.
Since you had mentioned that you are just starting to cut your teeth in the pipe world I figured I'd send you something that should give you a good mix of stuff. The Dunhill 965 seems to be a good baseline blend to compare the others to, and the others are a good mix of premium aromatics to Oriental-style English blends.
I hope you enjoy and post more frequently!!! Also, sorry that the Tigers whooped up on Miami so soundly last night... Ouch!!!
