I enjoy Latakia blends but I will get sick of them if I smoke them too much. I too smoke Virginia's most of the time. Any iteration of a Virginia Perique and dark fired Burley will capture my attention. I like them too much and do suffer from tongue bite on occasion. Virginia flakes can tear up your tongue in nothing flat if you dont sip them mindfully. Hasn't stopped me from liking them though. If my mouth takes too much of a beating then I go Latakia and oriental because its a nice change and usually smoke so much cooler.
