Low Grade Latakia Fire Cured Oriental is a tobacco leaf that is often used to make your own pipe tobacco.

Latakia is not a unique type of tobacco, but rather the name of the leaf after it has been smoke cured. Starting with a tobacco very similar to our Yenidje, this leaf, grown in Cyprus, is first harvested, and sun dried, before being loaded into smoking barns. They are then smoked, in a manner very similar to our Dark Fire Cured Leaf, although more aromatic smoking woods are used. This gives the leave a very unique smoky floral flavor, which has been noted to have uniquely smooth smoking properties, despite its bold aroma.

Often considered a spice tobacco, it will not usually make up more then 10-20% of any pipe or cigarette blends. This leaf is commonly blended with Viriginia Flue Cured tobaccos to bring out its unique flavor profile. 

While this is a LOW GRADE tobacco, it still works great in pipe and cigarette blends.


PLEASE NOTE: This is a MIX of lower quality consistency leaf generated by the moving and packing of whole leaf.

much different than expected, has a very strong smokey aroma like a campfire, when added in small amounts to my cigarette blend it completely enhanced and transformed the flavor and I am a fan. The flavor isnt for everyone and it tasted much different than the other fire cured leaf I had tried in the past, but it was more mild which in this case was a good thing. Hard to believe with the potency of the aroma. I rate this at 4 stars but still giving 5 stars simply because of the price, in this low grade batch it was very stemmy. I would try this again if I could purchase in normal / high grade.
