装填点燃，奶味马上打开味觉，甜，很甜，淡淡的奶味与甜为主导味然后才是烟熏皮革铁锈一丝丝咸鲜，奶味不重比较淡但是一直环绕整斗下来都是奶味与甜口，慢慢品吸会很鲜，咸鲜，奶甜咸鲜。烟气丝滑醇厚，放下烟斗，眨巴口腔回甘有一丝可可味，在拿起烟斗继续慢慢品吸，奶甜咸鲜丝丝可可烟雾丝滑醇厚，一款很优秀的巴尔干，这是款拉草味比较淡的巴尔干喜欢烟熏皮革重拉的可能不会有好的评价，这款奶甜草可以给喜欢V草的爱好者优秀的体验

It's almost a perfect blend. Smokes cool and dry with a wonderful flavor. It , PS EOS and Dunhill STD Mix Med are the only blends of its style that I've smoked for decades. Its a blend that touches all the bases and is super satisfying. Its reasonably priced too, which is a plus

Perfect Balance

This is a benchmark blend for me. It’s straightforward and exceptional in its sophistication and balance. A great blend to cellar except for the price.

4.5 for taste. 4 overall for cost and lack of bulk packaging.

My score: 4

My scale:
1-2.5 - bad
3 - not worth buying r>3.5 - I would give it a try
4 - it’s worth buying and re-buying on occasion
4.5-5 - it is worth buying in bulk quantities and cellaring deep...Read More

7/5 Star Balkan

I need to recalibrate my standards and all my reviews. Balkan Sasieni is the archetypal definition of the Balkan mixture. It is simply perfect, and very different to everything else currently available. The tin note is beatific. The latakia used here smells sweet and colorful the way Madagascan black pepper (voatsiperifery) does. In the pipe, the Macedonian orientals dance across the tongue and leave a pleasant tingling spice in the mouth and nose. The Virginias used here serve primarily as a matrix or background support for the orientals and latakia, who are the uncontested stars of the show. Latakia and orientals dominate, but BS is not overwhelmingly powerful in body or nicotine. You can smoke it all day long. It isn't helpful to compare it to anything because it's a class unto itself, simply the best Balkan in existence. Every other Balkan mixture wants to be what Balkan Sasieni is. It is the yardstick by which every other aspiring Balkan must be measured. As regards storage and cellaring, it does change noticeably with age. The tin I currently enjoy was produced in July of 2021, and it is mellower, a little sweeter, and a bit rounder than some younger jars I have on hand. But if you enjoy and appreciate nuance, you will be well pleased with the effects that aging brings to Balkan Sasieni. I recommend it but I do so with a heavy heart, because I want it all for myself. To get the most out of this beauty, use a very wide, shallow bowl such as a Savinelli 316/Rossi 8316....Read More

Amazing

This was one of the first English or Balkan blends I tried. I really grew to love it as I smoked the tin. The sourness of the orientals combined with the smoky, woodsy Latakia makes me think of a deep, dark, dank pine forest. In fact, as I smoked this blend I was reading Dracula. What a perfect blend to combine with the setting of Dracula’s castle in the mountains! I’ve had many other English blends since, but this one just hits a chord with me that others don’t. And at this price, it’s worth always having in hand....Read More

The oriental-virginia forward blend melts nicely with the latakia background. The very best in balkan mixture in my opinion.

I thought based on the ingredients, it would be a little bit of a heavier high nicotine Blend, however I was mistaken. There’s a lot of flavor going on all tobacco flavors no flavoring! I was very surprised by this and I feel like for me it is an excellent tobacco blend, straddling what feels like strength and manliness with something that can be all day long. I can see this as a morning evening and after dinner smoke. without making any compromises. It is definitely worth a try, especially given the price point....Read More

The Stand-Out Choice
January 28, 2024

Product: Balkan Sasieni Balkan Sasieni 50g
I've been smoking Sasieni every day for a month straight, I just can't stop. It's the best Balkan available. The Macedonian orientals and the uniquely colorful, bright, peppery latakia provide an unrivaled experience, just as the ad copy claims. There is *nothing* better in the way of Balkan style blends. I wish I could find out exactly which latakia they use, and the oriental leafs, so I could experiment with them on my own. In the meantime, I'll keep smoking Sasieni. Nothing makes me happier. Sometimes I crave a bit of something heavier, and there are plenty of options for such a craving, but none is as complex, intricate, exquisite, and satisfying as Sasieni....Read More

Smokey Latakia, herbal orientals sweetened by the Virginias. For me this is the gold standard.
