I have found that Latakia in a blend has a threshold where it goes from being a delicious, well-balanced condiment in a blend, to becoming noise that overwhelms the rest (as Perique does as well). Like putting so much hot sauce or mustard on something you can't taste what you are seasoning.

A blend that I have found to possess a perfect amount of Latakia, superbly balanced with other tobaccos, and a light topping (slightly influencing the flavor but not the room note), is Sutliff's Voodoo
Queen. I recommend it highly:
