Latakia Pipe Tobacco
This specially prepared pipe tobacco, originally produced in Syria and named after the port city of Latakia, is now mainly produced in Cyprus.
Initially it’s sun-treated and then cured further over a pine or oak wood fire giving it an intense, smokey, peppery taste and aroma. Far too strong for most people’s tastes to smoke neat, it’s mostly used to add character and strength to Balkan-type mixtures.
NOT for the faint hearted!

A very strong Smokey aroma and taste. I use it when blending my own tobacco. When mixing it with other tobaccos it lends both depth, aroma and flavour. A wonderful product but much too powerful on its own.
