Yes it is.. Kicking myself for not picking up 8oz at the chi town show but i wanted to try it before dropping some bills for it. I just couldn't get it to dry out before i had to leave.

Re: your top 5 Latakia blends.

I just got a tin of Early Morning Pipe - and I am really interested in this. I have been smoking a fair bit of 965 and this is esentially the same, just a smidge less latakia, which for me, is good.

Nice cut, packs easy, burns well... this could be an all day every day.

Re: your top 5 Latakia blends.

For me, it's Penzance (#1) and Squadron Leader always, then whatever else is open which, at the moment, is FM ATP, Nightcap, 965, and HH Vintage Syrian.

Re: your top 5 Latakia blends.

I do turn less and less frequently to Latakia blends. However, if I do, then it has to be:

1. Fox's Bankers Mixture (by far my favourite, also contains cigar leaf)

Other Latakia blends which I have enjoyed:

2. Davidoff Royalty
3. Stokkebye Balkan Supreme
4. Dunhill 965
5. Peterson's Old Dublin

Re: your top 5 Latakia blends.

The following are my top five favs, in no special order. They are all distinctly different from each other, and IMHO, they are all exceptional! My mood usually determines which one I reach for! I have placed a "*" by the ones which offer the heaviest doses of latakia.

McClelland – Frog Morton Across The Pond
Dunhill – London Mixture
Esoterica – And So To Bed*
Germain & Son – Eighteen Twenty
Dan Tobacco – London Blend #1000*
