For that overall feel I would go with latakia again; a real, smoky, dark flavour.
Wow. I haven’t had a Gitanes since 1992 while in Paris for a week and I instantly remember that flavor. I believe in a few weeks I’ll put together an order of these suggestions. I’m intrigued by the pine smell though but otherwise I’ve got to experience more of this great tobacco.
Bernard Alt Offenbacher Köstlisch is the closest snuff I’ve had to pipe tobacco with a hint of black cherry. Lovely.
