....Here's a hausgemacht blend you should like. Mix 36 % McC Yenice Agonya, 36 % McC Smryna #1, and 18% latakia. I pressed it with a vacuum sealer bag for a week. I use Peter stokkebye lat, good price. It is sublime, very reminiscent of Balkan Sobranie, but more floral. Vary the Latakia up a bit and it gets closer to Sobranie. McC does some fabulous things with orientals unlike anyone else. I wonder if they have the best buyers/ blenders on earth, or the best alchemists with deep secret topping? Anyway, looks like I'm gonna be buying those 2 Grand Orientals by the pallette load. Oh---note this mix must be smoked sloooowwwly or the flavor is incinerated.
