I find this harsh before a long resting period. It’s a strong, fairly dark, smokey , among FA’s boldest  flavours. Latakia has a dry, smokey exhale with sour and bitter accents. If Latakia is much too intense for you, but you like realistic flavours, keep it around. You can add Latakia to mild blends to darken the flavour and add good smokiness in one step (0.25% is good for that purpose). If you want a little bolder flavour with the same basic profile of Latakia, mix in some Perique Black.
