re: your top 5 Latakia blends.
Since Slow Triathlete's top 5 Va/Per thread is going so well, I thought I'd open it up to another blend (I'll let someone else do Va, burley, etc if they wish). I'm still relatively new at the pipe, but I've found that the Latakia suites me well. So, what are your top 5 Latakia blends?

Right now, I'd have to say #1 is Pelican.
Cyprian Latakia plus orientals make me want to have a bowl of this after every meal! I just can't help myself.
2. Penzance
3. Squadron Leader
4. Frog Morton
5. 965 (didn't like it at first, but it grew on me; I'm sure though I'll eventually find something better).

Re: your top 5 Latakia blends.
I haven't tried many more then 5 latakia blends but I've enjoyed Penzance, Squadron Leader, Frog Morton and Boswell's Northwoods.

Re: your top 5 Latakia blends.
I don't think I have tried five...Frog Morton is one of my favs along with Squadron Leader. I have a tin of Penzance aging in the cellar.

Dag, James! I bought some of that when I was over there a while back and forgot about it. That is a pretty decent blend.
