Latakia; Lattakia or Latakiyah (Arabic: اللَاذِقِيَّة al-Lādhiqīyah Syrian pronunciation: [el.laːdˈʔɪjje, -laːðˈqɪjja]), is the principal port city of Syria, as well as the capital of the Latakia Governorate. Historically, it has also been known as Laodicea or Laodicea ad Mare. In addition to serving as a port, the city is a manufacturing center for surrounding agricultural towns and villages. According to the 2004 official census, the population of the city is 383,786. It is the 5th-largest city in Syria after Aleppo, Damascus, Homs and Hama, and it borders Tartus to the south, Hama to the east, and Idlib to the north.
Although the site has been inhabited since the 2nd millennium BCE, the modern-day city was first founded in the 4th century BCE under the rule of the Seleucid empire. Latakia was subsequently ruled by the Romans, then the Ummayads and Abbasids in the 8th–10th centuries CE. Under their rule, the Byzantines frequently attacked the city, periodically recapturing it before losing it again to the Arabs, particularly the Fatimids. Afterward, Latakia was ruled successively by the Seljuk Turks, Crusaders, Ayyubids, Mamluks, and Ottomans. Following World War I, Latakia was assigned to the French mandate of Syria, in which it served as the capital of the autonomous territory of the Alawites. This autonomous territory became the Alawite State in 1922, proclaiming its independence a number of times until reintegrating into Syria in 1944.
Latakia tobacco (Arabic: تبغ اللاذقية) is a specially prepared tobacco originally produced in Syria and named after the port city of Latakia. Now the tobacco is mainly produced in Cyprus. It is initially sun-cured like other Turkish tobaccos and then further cured over a pine or oak wood fire, which gives it an intense smokey-peppery taste and smell. Too strong for most people's tastes to smoke straight, it is used as a "condiment" or "blender" (a basic tobacco mixed with other tobaccos to create a blend), especially in English, Balkan, and some American Classic blends.
Latakia is the result of a process whereby the leaves are cured over controlled fires of aromatic woods and fragrant herbs. Latakia is mainly grown in Cyprus and northern Syria. After the leaves are harvested and dried, they are hung in tightly closed barns and smoke-cured. Small smoldering fires of oak and pine fill the barn with smoke, and covering the leaves with smoke particles.
Latakia was "discovered" when a bumper crop resulted in surplus, and the excess tobacco was stored in the rafters. The peasant farmers traditionally used wood for cooking and heating in the winter. The smoke-cured tobacco's unique flavoring and taste was discovered the following spring. Latakia produces a very rich, heavy taste, with an aroma that has a "smoky" characteristic. Latakia is an ingredient of traditional English mixtures. The content can vary from a few percent to about 40-50%, or even more. A few smokers like it at 100%.
Latakia is a city in Syria.

Latakia is one of the last cities in Syria under full government control. As CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports, there are concerns the city's stability could be at risk as fighting nears.

You will need an additional 2 hours to get to Latakia from Tartous. Latakia and Tartous are cities located on the coastline of Syria, in the western part of the country.

One of the most divisive blending components in the pipe tobacco world, Latakia is a type of Oriental leaf that has undergone a curing process similar to dark-fired Kentucky. While dark-fired is fire-cured over hardwoods for 14 to 16 days, however, Latakia is smoked over smoldering, soft, aromatic woods for 5 to 6 months — the extended curing duration and wood selection imparting a rich, incense-like quality to the smoke. While the flavor and aroma of Latakia is quite pronounced, it's actually one of the mildest varietals in terms of pure nicotine content; it also burns quite slowly and maintains a balanced pH, meaning little to no tongue bite. On this episode of Tobacco Selections, our head blender Jeremy Reeves takes a closer look at the dark, smokey leaf and offers some suggestions for ...

iiiiiiiif...
you don't get a job,
though you're tryin' and you stop
believing that there's s.th. for you out there...
don't you lose your faith
and don't do any mistakes
though the devil on your shoulder's getting louder.
one thing i can tell you
is you should never sell your
soul and your body to the bad guys !
i know it's a temptation
but keep a little patience
'cause when you go to fast you fall for their lies.
i can imagine it's kind of hard
if you don't know how to start
working and gettin' money for a living.
but i think you should wait
for a good way to get payed;
don't go to the enemy i'm not kiddin'!
think about it now
i think that you're about
to be doin' a job that's making you an asshole.
i can guarantee
that this is going to be
unsatisfying and stressfull....
so....
don't don't don't don't don't become a cop !!!!
'cause being a cop is fucked up !!!
if people don't get a job
and demonstrate you beat'em up.
is that really what you wanna be doin' out there?
i know you don't, of course,
but the choice just ain't yours
when the chiefcommander behind you is getting louder.
you'll lose your selfesteem
and therefore you get mean,
treatin' people like you are superior.
don't you understand
that this gets out of hand:
you'll turn into a violent brainless creature.
so listen to my advice:
this is'n a propper price,
you shouldn't even be thinkin' about payin' that.
the way you would be changing
ain't worth no stupid payment.
they're gonna make you aggressive, dumb and braindead!
do you know how you can tell
a human from an animal?
ever heard about the little thing called reason?
you just give it away
'cause ev'ry order you obey...
why would you wanna be a policeman?
so....
don't don't don't don't don't become a cop !!!!
