Ever tried mixing Laphroaig and Lapsang?

Now THAT sounds good....

Are the Laphoaig folk coming out
of the woodwork?

But the effort is well worth it, IMHO.

GL Pease is probably making the best Latakia blends out there right
now. I am more of a perique man myself but now that I see the
Laphroaig / LS connection I'm going to give Latakia a second chance.

Any info on other smoked teas? I've seen this longyan stuff for sale
here and there.

There is no better Lapsang Souchong than Hu-Kwa by Mark Wendell (
http://www.marktwendell.com ) , though I am sure that others sell very
fine Lapsang Souchongs (Lapsangs Souchong perhaps?) for more money. I
am not sure what "organic" would mean in the case of Lapsang Souchong
since it is smoked, and the tarry flavor comes from--well, TAR--and I
rather expect that an extract of the thing would be devilishly bad for
you. This would be much the same as the concentrates of nitrosamines
extracted from bacon. Still, people eat bacon, and drink Lapsang
Souchong, and they all seem to get by somehow. The folks who like
Lapsang Souchong border on a cult they like it so much. Those who do
not--the vast majority apparently--will never understand. Do you also
like single malt Scotch and Balkan Sobranie pipe tobacco/cigarettes?
Lore has it they all go together.

Heh. No, I don't generally like the taste of Scotch/Whiskey (altough -
be prepared to cringe - I used to like an occasional hot buttered Wild
Turkey), nor do I smoke. Sorry :-).

Thanks, everyone, for all your suggestions. This thread is fascinating
and I'm learning a lot.

Lapsang souchong does remind me of Latakia based pipe tobaccos
(although I've never had Balkan Sobranie). I'm not sure that I would
want them together though. I assume the process for making latakia and
Lapsang Souchong are similar.
