Peter Stokkebye 310 Black Latakia

I love this stuff, enough said.

I use it to kick up my baccy.

I really like the flavor a good Latakia can yield to a blend of tobacco. It makes it rich and interesting.

Great

I’m a Latakia fan, so I like to add it to most anything I smoke. This has a wonderful flavor, and I will keep buying more.

I get them because they are the best and I want only the best for my pipes.

with a side of awesome.

good but probably not Syrian

This is primarily for mixing, but I'll admit - I've smoked it on it's own a few times & enjoyed it thoroughly - outstanding smoky flavor & aroma. I've bought other vendor's Latakias over time, but to my tastes, this one outshines then all...best I've found so far.

Prior to this my only real experience with latakia was in captain black black Sea.... See my review of that for more information.... I bought a small bag of this last week when p&c was running a lovely sale on lane limited and I thought I would try it. As one of the reviewers mentioned the smell of the latakia totally overwhelmed the entire order and my house smelled like it for the first couple days it was here. I was skeptical... I am an aromatic fan and not that big into the robust smokes. So I was bummed that I had wasted my money. But I harkened back to a year or so ago when I was in Ireland and I smelled the peat fires burning and it reminded me of the latakia in the black Sea, so I says to myself, "self, you should pack a bowl and give her a run." I would have trouble putting into words how much I like this tobacco.... Not mixed, all by itself. It has a strange sweetness about it. I was expecting a bitter smoky flavor but what I got was a VERY pleasant smoke that really scratched my peat fire itch. Very robust, very slow burning, sublime. I will say the tounge bite is there. To the point that it will even numb your palate if you go to fast, but if you take your time and enjoy the smoke this is really great. Now I leave the bag on the counter in order to smell that peaty smoke even when I don't have time to sit and enjoy a bowl. A truly surprisingly lovely latakia from PS. Enjoy!!

Great condiment tobacco. I mix it with the PS turkish and PS perique.

I realize most people use it for blending but I like it by itself. I do smoke some blends but 3/4 of the time just use pure Latakia.

I like it as a condiment or straight .

Sometimes the descriptors lie; unflavored black cavendish is nearly always flavored, perique isn't always perique, and who the heck knows what really comprises a scottish mixture - I certainly don't. When a home blending experiment says you need latakia, there's really only one way to get it. Cyprian latakia is exactly that, and nothing else. No misleading titles, no misdirective labeling, just good clean smokey latakia.

I would advise most smokers to use this only for blending. It is VERY strong, especially just in the bag. When I opened my shipment, this was all I could smell, and I had to air out the other tobaccos for a while before they smelled of anything other than Black Latakia. Also, if you put much of this into a blend, and you have plenty of pipes, I think I would designate a particular pipe just for the Latakia blend. I tried it about 1 in 4 with Black Cavendish, and at that the Latakia dominated. With my rather limited knowledge, I would say it might enhance a burley or something, but at no more than 1 in 10.

Very smoky but it irritated my sinuses. Otherwise ok.

excellent

I have blended this several times with great results, but kept craving a bolder, smoker, richer smoke. Tried smoking a bit of this on its own - stunning. Incredible, rich, thick plumes of smoke reminiscent of a campfire. Pack it tight since it's dry. I love all things intensely smoky, from smoked meats to heavily peated Scotch malt whisky, and apparently straight Latakia. Will have to try some straight Dark Fired Kentucky next. This is the full, rich, bold, manly smoke I've been wanting. Absolutely spectacular.

I have previously purchased Latakia so I wasn't surprised that it was great. I mixed two parts R&M one part Latakia. It was very bitey. I tried the Latakia and there was no bite at all. This leads me to think that the R*M will be scratched off my buy list.

It's good. In fact, I'm getting ready to place an order for more today. I also like the service that your company provides.

Tried to match a blend that I used to buy before my tobacconist died; Black Cavendish, Toasted Cavendish, and a touch of Latakia. Great aroma! But don't use too much Latakia. 1/2 ounce or less to a pound of blended tobaccos is plenty. I tried 1 ounce in my first pound and instead of smelling great, it gave my girl a headache. I called it getting even.

Great for blending.

Very good quality, good price, fast shipping.

My regular Latakia smoke is Mac Baren's H&H Latakia Blend. I was looking at the Stokkebye offerings for Dansk Black as one of my infrequent aromatic tobaccos and discovered it was no longer available. Bummer. Chose a different aromatic, saw this Black Latakia option and ordered 4 oz. to try. Tobaccos arrived today and I just finished 1/2 a pipe full and was halted by the sudden onslaught of ammonia. Very powerful, much stronger than the similar experience with immature cigars. I'll trying mixing this with the Stokkebye aromatic that arrived with this Lat Bomb. If that doesn't work I'll put it outside as ant repellent

Nice and excellent tobacco pipe

I had never tried Latakia style tobacco before and I enjoyed the very distinctive aroma and smooth smoking experience. This will be great to add to other blends to give some character!

I let it get bone dry and then grind it into a powder. Then I just sprinkle it on or in anything I want to have that Cyprus flavor. Does the trick.

An excellent choice for adding latakia to your blends. Great taste and value to buy in bulk.

I love Latakia so any blend that has that as a component I want to try ASAP.

Used as a blending for some other tobaccos I have. Worked good.

Very good Latakia at a good price. I keep it on hand to "perk" up blends that I try and need a little more "Vitamin L" for my taste.

Good addition to make any blend smokier. Drop a Lat bomb

This Latakia is the same texture and smoky aroma like my great grandfather used to make. Not too overpowering and not too weak....just perfect !! Brings back some good memories of when tobacco was processed by curing it correctly and not by casings & chemicals. I love the way it taste and the way it smokes. This is my first time trying this brand of Latikia and I am stoked to try blending this wonderful prize.
