Latakia Cigars

[Joss]

'State run' hmmm I dont think I'd want to give Assad my money!

Well that sounded interesting when I thought it was the process, not just the region. Now I'm less convinced.

I like them too, I am waiting for better weather, they will be ideal to smoke on grill party :-)
Last week we had really nice weather, about 15 and sunny, today was few snow and rainy storms :-/

Did you tried Kentucky Fire Cured from Drew Estate, my pipe smoking friends said that they are pretty close to Latakia taste ...

I tried one that Tommy sent me and found it to be a really mild and pleasant smoke.

I should have been clear, it's the region not the curing process.

Though a true Syrian Latakia (Cured) cigar would be extremely interesting.

Yeah I would certainly try one. Wasn't there some talk of Russian ones not long ago that were mega expensive?

[cj121]

Interesting find Marc. Not likely they'll ever get over here anytime soon though

[ValeTudoGuy]

Hopefully you have a Russian/Chinese/African/Iranian mule lined up then.

[Scott]

Yes, me also!

Jihadi jokes aside I'd certainly try one
