	A Tale of Two Latakias
		Though the original Latakia of Syria, a necessary ingredient of many classic mixtures of yesteryear, and the now more common Cyprian leaf, share a name and a curing technique, these two tobaccos are quite distinct from one another, each having unique qualities, and very different personalities.
		Syrian Latakia is produced from the long, narrow leaves of the plant known as "shekk-el-bint." After harvesting, the leaf is sun-dried, then hung in barns to be smoked over smoldering fires of local herbs and woods, imparting the characteristic smoky aroma and distinctive flavor.
		Latakia of either type can be detected in a mixture in quantities as small as 3%, and by 5%, their presence is unmistakable.

	TobaccoReviews.com: Blend Detail: McClelland - Rose of Latakia
		Rose of latakia seems to be trying to duplicate Butera's latakia #2 substituting cyprian with syrian: it just doesn't work for me. It's unfortunate as this is one of those blends I really wanted to like from the tin description.
		In the tin, visually, the tobacco is predominantly a Virginia blend with a meagre amount of Syrian latakia.
		Not to mention that this Syrian Latakia is absolutely delicious: I suspect it comes from the same HUGE shipment that Greg Pease had to share with other blenders, as it tastes VERY similar to the leaf in Bohemian Scandal.

	Latakia Blend 100g at Smoking Pipes .com
		The VA flavor is there, and the Latakia was on the light side, but I was glad that it was because I was hoping for a milder English kinda blend for different times of the day and different situations.
		The flavor is of a medium virginia with a little sweetness from the cavendish and a slight, slight, smokiness from the latakia.
		The Latakia is used as a subtle flavoring agent and gives the blend a darker hue; beyond that there is a continuous, subtle hint of the taste of Latakia.
