Brebbia Latakia Flake No.9: review
Brebbia Latakia Flake No. 9 is a German-made pipe tobacco that, when the tin is opened, ranges in color from the light of Virginia to the dark of Latakia.
When raw, it releases an intense and pleasant smoky aroma, which immediately suggests a dominant presence of Latakia over Virginia.
A sensation that finds full confirmation in smoke, without ever being overpowering or opaque.
This is a pressed tobacco that, unlike many other similar products, does not unbalance the notes of Latakia, letting the sweet nuances of Virginia emerge in the background. However, it is undoubtedly the smoky and bittering aromas of Latakia that characterize the blend.
Being a Flake, it is at its best when smoked whole, without being crumbled, smoking it slowly and gently.
Those who choose the Brebbia Latakia Flake are looking for an intense smoke, without any particular evolution, in which Latakia is the absolute protagonist: a perfect tobacco for those who love this type of blend.
All in all, it is a product absolutely worth trying, if you can still find it: in fact, Brebbia has recently discontinued production.
