Balkan 50g Pipe Tobacco

An absolutely amazing blend. Almost without exception, I smoke Latakia, Dark Fired, and Perique blends, but this one's in a league of it's own.

This blend is supremely unique in that it lacks Virginia tobacco, which usually causes tounge bite, at least to me. I think there should be more tobaccos like this willing to go out on a limb and try something that few would dare. It is a pleasant Balkan style blend with plenty of flavor.

SO, I EMPTIED 4 TINS INTO A MASON JAR. 8 MONTHS OF AGING HAS SMOOTHED THIS BALKAN, INTO A SOOTHING TASTY FRIEND OF MY PALATE.
GRAZIE BREBBIA.

Smooth, low temperature burn. Dark and smoky. If you like English blends, this is definitely worth a try.
