Balkan Sasieni You Mean?

April 04, 2024

Product: Sutliff Balkan S Original Mix Match Bulk

Okay, confession time—I smoke so much Balkan Sasieni from the tin that my taste buds probably have a permanent Balkan accent. I grabbed this 'Balkan S Original Mix Match' hoping it'd nudge me a little closer to the legendary Balkan Sobranie experience. But wait—plot twist! It tasted exactly like my trusty Sasieni. I honestly thought my senses had finally surrendered to tobacco overload, so of course, I lit up two pipes side-by-side like a Sherlock Holmes of tobacco comparisons. Here I sit, double-fisting Balkan Sasieni in one pipe and the Balkan S Original Mix Match in the other, puffing away vigorously and looking like an eccentric wizard conducting a smoky experiment. And guess what? I CANNOT taste or smell a lick of difference! So, fellow pipe enthusiasts, if you want to save some cash without compromising your Balkan cravings, grab yourself some of this Balkan S Original Mix Match. It's so spot-on, even your wallet won't know the difference. A dead ringer, indeed!...Read More

Better than the current Sobranie.

September 29, 2023

By: Curmudgeonly_Piper93

Product: Sutliff Balkan S Original Mix Match Bulk

I never had the privilege to smoke the true Original Sobranie. But I have smoked the current production Sobranie. This is far better.
It has a slightly coarser cut than Neo-Sobranie that helps it hold a light better. Less fussy.
And it strikes a better balance of flavor between the three components than Sobranie , which I found rather dull.
That said, I don't get the Latakia I crave from this smoke....Read More

White Knight in Bulk Form

July 28, 2022

By: James Marc R.

Product: Sutliff Balkan S Original Mix Match Bulk

This is essentially White Knight in bulk form. Perhaps the quality isn't as good as the tinned version as this has a few rough edges, but side by side these essentially taste the same to me. It's a comfort mixture; softly applied latakia, verdant, buttery and slightly sour/spicy Orientals, and just the slightest sweetness from the VA. Less sweet than Balkan Sasieni and slightly less spice, but just as comforting. This isn't a latakia bomb by any means. Nicotine is 1.5 out of 5,...Read More

Still a Favorite

April 03, 2023

By: Pretentious Pedantry

Product: Sutliff Balkan S Original Mix Match Bulk

Still a very nice go-to comfort mix. It's not fancy, it's not spectacular, but it presses all the right buttons. The older it gets in the cellar, the easier it is to keep lit, and the sourer the orientals get. It's a slow-smoking beauty. One of Sutliff's best. Compare with BS 759 Match from the same label. Which one do you like better?...Read More

Wonderfully balanced Balkan

March 21, 2023

Product: Sutliff Balkan S Original Mix Match Bulk

I came across this product after trying several other Balkans. The smoke is not overly smoky, yet still somewhat smoky but refreshing. It has a pleasant sour taste that I never get tired of, like yogurt. I am very lucky to have found this tobacco.

I don't reach for it often, but its good

Jar note of sour vegetation, smoky, and a tart sweet. Tobacco is a wide ribbon cut of black, brown and tan. Moisture content is great. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and consistent, with notes of smoky, sweet citrus, wood, floral, musty herbal vegetation, leather, spiced bread, fermented sour, spicy, zesty sweet and tangy fruit, creamy savory, a rich peaty lemon grassy background note, and a peppery retro. Oriental/Turkish is leading with Latakia and Virginia supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Love this stuff!

January 10, 2023

Product: Sutliff Balkan S Original Mix Match Bulk

I like Latakia, but this gives me more than that. There's enough Oriental in this to give it a unique flavor that really does it for me. I keep coming back to this again and again. Of the three Balkan blends I have tried, this one remains my favorite. White Knight is about the same, but costs significantly more and it's tough to justify the difference in price for the tin....Read More

All times favorite

Product: Sutliff Balkan S Original Mix Match Bulk

In my opinion, the best remake of the original, and the best smoke ever and ever and ever. Tastier than well renown Arango Balkan, with slightly stronger taste and nic hit. The fact it is so inexpensive adds to it, but honestly, i would still buy it for triple price from what it costs now. I like to try numerous new blends, sometimes great and mostly disappointing, but when i just want a comforting pleasant smoke - i come back to this one....Read More

Good Blend

September 15, 2022

By: Woodsman_piper

Product: Sutliff Balkan S Original Mix Match Bulk

I have never had the original Balkan Sobranie but I have been trying every English I can get my hands on. This has to be one of the best blends yet and being rated in the top 100 at the writing of this review others must agree. I like this much better than Blackhouse which wasnt bad at all but I probably wont get again because at $31.12 for 16oz at the time of this writing I will be putting a couple pounds of this in the cellar to brace against tax increase that it inevitable. I highly recommend trying this blend if your an english lover and get plenty its worth it!...Read More
