Latakia CC Blending

Latakia CC Blending is the Latakia entry in Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.'s coarse-cut single-leaf series. Sources indicate the leaf used is of Cyprian origin, cured in smoke to take on a heavy smokiness. No sauce or top note is applied to the product.

It isn't intended to be smoked on its own; its real function is to add smoke, depth, and dark color to English- and Balkan-style mixtures. It's a component ingredient for smokers building their own blends — its taste is very intense, and its room note spreads widely.
