More Details |
Captain Earle's Ten Russians is created for the true Latakia aficionado. A good amount of the smoky, black leaf is combined with sweet Virginia, spicy Orientals and some mellow Cavendish. The blend is pressed into a firm crumble cake to marry and mature the flavors.
Three stars out of five. It is cool burning and requires nearly no relights. It has a little complexity and tastes good, but still not as good as Mac Barens HH Latakia Flake. Mac Barens is much more the tasty, smoky lat bomb.
My favorite Latakia blend, part of my three go-to blends overall. There is a reason it is always on backorder!
