Picked up a nice "custom" blend today

By custom i mean that (as far as i know) it's something the shop (in this case, McCranie's in charlotte, NC) blends themselves. I was just interested since I wanted to see what this Latakia business was all about, but WOW! This Highland Blend smells, to me, about like a nicely peated single malt. I think i'm in LOVE. Just gotta let it get to the right humidity and then hope it tastes as good as it smells.

The description from the website/catalog is:

Code:
A classic Medium Balkan Mixture prepared from rich, stoved Eastern and Middle Belt strip, Cyprian Latakia, lemon Carolina and the finest Greek Oriental tobaccos.
Some of that is still code to me; 'lemon' is still a term i haven't encountered before, and I'm not sure really where the eastern and middle belts are.
