Another good Balkan from Sutliff, not as heavy on the latakia but sweeter than Balkan II with a warm spice to it. It did make a lot of tar in my pipe, but I’m sure it’ll improve with age. Also pairs great with Glenlivet 14.

Nothing to write home about, but not a bad, mild Balkan blend.

I May Have Found What I'm Looking For

I have fallen in love with English blends over the past several months, and I've tried 4 or 5 before this one. My favorite by far has been Esoterica's Margate; a sample was gifted to me by a friend. Since it is hardly ever available, I've been on the hunt for a good bulk alternative. And this very well may be it. I'm less than certain only because I've had only one bowl of this stuff so far, but it was fantastic! To my palate, it has everything (taste wise) I love in Margate, just as satisfying! It does not have the aged quality of Margate, which I knew not to expect. But the balance is just about the same. Component wise, this one has some Burley (reportedly) where Margate does not. But it's way in the background. If the next bowl satisfies the same, I'll definitely be buying more!...Read More

Good, easy, all day type of blend. On the lighter side of the Balkan style.

Burley + Orientals = DRY MOUTH
January 15, 2024
By: James Marc R.
Product: Sutliff Balkan S 957 Match Bulk
First puff brings forth that typical dry, musty, earthy sourness from Orientals, of which are not of a special varietal. The trick is to balance the nuance with a sweet, bready or herbal VA via bright leaf, reds or VA cavendish... this didn't happen. The proportions simply aren't good enough to balance. Add the burley and you now have a tannic mixture that pulls out any sweetness whatsoever and adds further earthiness which combined with the Orientals, yields DRY MOUTH. This isn't a contemplative mixture. In my opinion, it's a mixture concocted to be something different. If you like chewing walnuts, sesame seeds and following up with unsweetened oolong tea... I think you'll like this. I also think there’s a little perique in this. It’s not a quality perique as the toe jam, black pepper nuance is there without any of the plummy tartness. This just isn’t good....Read More
