Simpler is better
March 29, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Atlas Balkan Bulk
A very straight forward blend with good proportions of each ingredient, thus good rich smoke, a little spice and a Latakia background note, no bite, mild, good flavor and aroma. Simpler is indeed better here.
The fullback of Balkan
November 28, 2014
Product: Cornell & Diehl Atlas Balkan Bulk
This is one of my favorite blend's out there! I love Balkan and Burley blends with more than enough strength to let you know it's there. Well balanced so you can get a bit of each leaf's flavor.
It reminds me of a fullback, strong, steady easy on th... Read More

0100 on the porch. Missouri Meerschaum Little Devil Cutty and Atlas Balkin. Bliss. Sure Susan Sarandon isn't here but it's that good. The Latakia. Smooth. It's a wonderful smoke. Nuff Said.
Really foul smelling stuff

Stinks up the house something awful and the smell is like a grease pit. A day after lighting up 1 bowl the house still has a grease pit smell. Tobacco cured in filthy mechanics grease is my best description of this stuff. Nasty!
Balkan blend on an Even Keel
September 04, 2022
Product: Cornell & Diehl Atlas Balkan Bulk
Not what I'd consider a overly Latakia-centered blend compared to several other Balkans.
C+D's Super Balkan is my go-to Balkan. This blend is the mature, well-mannered father of the brawny ne'er-do-well son that is Super Balkan. I'd call Atlas Balkan... Read More

This is a strong balkan, but really enjoyable. I like because I can taste the tobacco. It has latakia but not very much.
Atlas Balkan
May 01, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Atlas Balkan Bulk
The taste of this blend reminds me of burnt pumpkin seeds or burnt chestnuts, the burley really dominates this blend and the latakia barely comes through until halfway down the bowl and even then it's a weak supporting role, every once in a while you... Read More
get a whisper of spice from the perique or a taste of smoky sweetness but overall it's like smoking cardboard with a burnt nut or seed aftertaste that's borderline sour and off-putting.
Took no relights, smells pretty good in the bag, burned down to a fine white-grey ash, the nicotine was medium strength for me and the cut itself is nice and lends to a nice even burn all the way down.
This for me is a far cry from an actual Balkan, it's more of an American mixture and the burley is just too strong, it really overwhelms the other components and tastes poorly balanced in that regard.
Try this is if you really like burley, but it's a pass for me. Read Less
My first Balkan

Product: Cornell & Diehl Atlas Balkan Bulk
First time trying a balkan blend, and have to say it is quite nice. Smokey, lightly spiced and a bit earthy.
time to try more balkans.
Burley Balkan is more like it
January 15, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Atlas Balkan Bulk
The Latakia is very forward on the nose but the Burley is star of this blend. I get the comments of it tasting ashy and the nic hit is definitely stronger than other Balkans I've tried. Not bad over all but I think I'll mix a little in a little Virgi... Read More

Good Balkan
January 29, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Atlas Balkan Bulk
Tin note is pleasant and hay-like. This is a good smoke, nutty and smokey, well balanced. It smoked well throughput the bowl.
An unexpected treat.

I had some of this waiting to be smoked but a friend of mine had already tried some and didn't like it so naturally I obliged to relieve him of it lest he throw it out. So here we go. The note out of the bag was unusual, sweet and robust. I can't hel... Read More
p but admire this blends consistency as it tasted exactly the same from light to dottle. the sweet and sour Tang of this blend meshed perfectly with the smokey flavor of the latakia. Biggest problem I had with it was that it didn't burn entirely dry even after drying out. I can't tell if it was the pipe or the tobacco. I have another couple ounces of it and am excited to get into it don't the less. This is a tobacco that I think will benefit greatly from aging. Read Less

I was expecting more from this. Broken flake cut is nice, giving a good burn, but flavor is more like cigarettes to me. Halfway through it tastes of ashes to me. I like many other balkan/english blends, but not this one. I will jar it for a while and... Read More
give it another try. Update: After a month in the jar, it has improved, so, another star. 11/12. Still prefer Super Balkan. Read Less
