Ashton Syr. Latakia Artisan’s Blend 50g tins – Year 2015

As noted on the top label of these tins, the contents bear the long gone Syrian Latakia as well as other components that have been pleasing to pipe smokers for many years. There is a hand written date of 2015 on all of these tins, but several of the tins are actually factory date coded to the year 2014, meaning the mostly Syrian Latakia contents in these tins are either 11 or 12-years old!  Per tobaccoreviews.com: “The main ingredient of this spicy mixture is Syrian Latakia, which was rounded off with small amounts of Virginia, fire-cured Kentucky, black cavendish, and perique.”
