About Latakia
Latakia tobacco is a sun-dried and smoke-cured tobacco product. It originated in Syria and is named after Syria's major port city of Latakia, though large-scale production has permanently moved to Cyprus due to varying and compounding sociopolitical issues within Syrian borders. It is in the family of fire-cured tobaccos in which the leaves are dried (cured) over burning hardwood. The process that sets Latakia apart from other fire-cured tobaccos involves the use of heavy volumes of smoke from both dried and live material from aromatic woods.
