Cornell & Diehl: Super Balkan Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 005-459-0041

Super Balkan is mostly a bright flake mixture with Perique, Latakia, and Burley, spiked with high grade Turkish leaf. An even heavier dose of Latakia than found in Atlas Balkan. One of Cornell and Diehl's oldest blends.

One of the best blend with Latakia, in my taste. Very rich flavour.

A few years ago I gave C&D Super Balkan full marks, but today I give it just four. We all have our own definitions of "Balkan" but the classic definition is an Oriental-forward English mixture; that is, Virginia and Latakia setting the stage while the Orientals take centerstage. Super Balkan is not very Oriental-forward, as the Perique and Burley make rather loud contributions. Certainly we find both Burley and Perique in many English blends, the latter most especially, yet they are not supposed to steal the show in a blend labeled as "Balkan." The quintessential Balkan mix comprises the Big Three, i.e., Orientals, Latakia, Virginia, in that order. Super Balkan puts Burley in the driver seat with Perique navigating, while Virginia, Latakia, and Orientals act as mere passengers along for the ride. Consequently, it strikes me as more of an Americanized English blend than a true Balkan. It's very strong, loud, boisterous, rough around the edges, and uncouth — the stereotypical "Ugly American" on a trip across the pond as a tourist. It's good, and there's a role for it in any cellar, it's just not archetypal. It reminds me of something you might bring back from a visit with your estranged Appalachian uncle: a Backwoods Balkan. Homemade corn cob pipes, a mason jar of genuine moonshine, and a leather rollup pouch stuffed full of hand blended Backwoods Balkan, sure to knock you for a loop....Read More

相较于常规口味的拉草,这款草太淡了。 配料有五种草,味道也挺独特,各种基草对应的风味也都有一些,总得来说还不错,但是太淡了,我不太喜欢。请先少量尝试。
Yesssssss

I'm a lover of Balkan blends, and so-so on Burley blends. I tend to only like Burley when it's mixed with a little dark fired. That being said, on the Balkan side, this stuff awesome. If you like Burley & Balkan, this may be the ticket for you! I'm not the biggest Burley guy, so I don't know if I'll be picking up another tin of this stuff. But I have to give it a good rating anyway, because it is exactly what it says it is, a balkan and Burley blend. And it combines the two very well. C&D nailed it with this stuff....Read More

Definitely one of my new go-to blends when I’m craving some latakia. Well done C&D!
I'm really enjoying this!

This is a really nice and pleasant smoke. To me no one thing knocks my socks off, but then I pack a 3rd bowl a hour or two later and I'm still enjoying it and would smoke longer if time allowed. More like a session beer, it's something great and enjoyable for a whole afternoon.
Interesting Latakia blend

This blend is close to Plum Pudding by the taste and quality, though it is surely not the same. The components play harmoniously, creating a great and rich taste: sweet and sour, nutty and leathery notes, and more. I really enjoy this tobacco.
Buy in bulk, because your going to smoke this a lot.

I bought 7 or 8 different blends to try, and several were recommendations from C&D when I told them what I was looking for. Namely, a good everyday english blend similar to their Palmetto Balkan limited release. This one was in that mix. I REALLY LIKED this one. This and Rajah's Court are my new everyday blends. It smokes easy, no bite, burns to the bottom in every pipe I've tried. I bought a big bag of this and have squirreled jars of it in my car, the garage, my smoking room, and my briefcase. Super Balkan is a hit for me and I have liked it in every pipe from clay, to meer, to cob, to big and little briars, straight and bent. It's a true jack of all trades blend for me. Maybe not as good as Rajah's Court, but it's a very close second. This is an absolute must try if you are into Balkan style blends....Read More
