It's pretty interesting and complex. It describes itself as kind of an aromatic and kind of an English blend. I haven't had anything but aromatics so far, and this definitely was different. First time trying a blend with Latakia. I dunno if I'd say it's a favorite yet, but I'm not upset with it. Kind of spicy and has a slight sweetness. Feels woodsy. Anyone tried this before?

Latakia used to be my favourite. But, I prefer Virginia now.
However, this one looks interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Not that one but other Latakias. I started with lats thinking I wanted the bold flavor. But personally I found burley/va is my sweet spot. So try em all!
As Latakia blends go my fav so far has been Sam Gawith’s Squadron Leader because the Smokey Latakia note was very mild and lets the nice natural hay and bready virginias shine through.
My experience with aromatics has been they smell pretty but taste like nothing. Smoke whatever you love of course. Jus sharing!

People choosing to smoke tobacco in 2025 blows my mind. Genuinely not worth it.

I don't care.

Yeah that tracks. Probably don't care about a lot of things you should.
I hope you are far away from me.

? You came to a page about tobacco and tried to interact with me in this way, for what? I was staying away from you already, and how does me smoking tobacco relate to anything else you're trying to tie me into? You're weird.

you're public about it. it's like an ad that makes kids want to smoke and reminds ppl who just quit about the thing they are addicted to and trying to avoid.
fleebleneeble@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 287d
And I'm not the only one here? So...? Kids shouldn't be on here particularly, and people who quit shouldn't care? This group isn't about quitting. You lot have come to a page that is well aware of how everyone else feels, this is a spot for us who do partake. You wouldn't go up to people publicly talking amongst themselves in a park and berate them for xyz, would you? Kinda what you two are doing. It's weird.

it still shows up in "all" sorted by "new" etc. that's how i know this exists. i wouldn't even have bothered, if it was truly private or at least nsfw, because then it's just a few nerds killing themselves slowly.

Just block then? Like, you're not doing anything by this. Oh no, a tobacco page exists. Instead of blocking it I'll just shout

Do...do you also go around chastising people who drink alcohol and smoke marijuana? Or those who do drugs recreationally?
I hope you don't eat and grill meat... shits bad for you... assuming you're not obese as well. That shit will kill you quicker than someone smoking pipe tobacco a few times a week.
Also really hooe you don't sit in traffic on your way to the office every day... that's even worse.
It's a vice, and a very enjoyable one at that. Get over yourself.

i do absolutely go up to ppl talking in a park and berate them, if they are talking about unhealthy things or nazi stuff btw.
fleebleneeble@reddthat.com · 4 pts · 287d
Nazi stuff makes sense, the rest outside of that is weird dude.

I hope someone smokes outside your house all week.
