The latakia's spice is balanced by the sweetness of the Virginias, and they have a marvelous conversation, while the Oriental tobaccos play Baroque quartets in the background. The flavour is bold and assertive, but still refined. The first match yields big puffy clouds of beautiful smoke. I worked on this for months, tuning the proportions carefully until it was exactly the blend I was after Exotic oriental tobaccos abound, and wonderful matured red and jet-black stoved Virginias provide a perfect balance, both in the tin aroma and in the flavour of the dense smoke. There's no doubt it's loaded with latakia, but that's much more to it. If the supporting tobaccos are bold enough, though, and have enough character, something BIG can be produced that still has refinement, elegance, and balance. It's an assertive leaf that can be, and often is, easily overdone. There's something warm and comforting about it the deep blackish brown colour, the fascinating texture of the leaf, the wonderful smells of campfires and leather. Notes: From GL Pease: Ever since I started smoking a pipe, I've been in love with the rich fragrance of fine Cyprian latakia. Wonderful red and jet-black stoved Virginias provide a perfect counterpoint. It's loaded with latakia and harmonized by exotic Orientals. Odyssey is huge - the biggest of the Pease blends.
