Simply the Best
December 22, 2017
Product: Dan Tobacco Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend 50g
No drying time needed - just pinch a little out 10-15 minutes before smoking. It's a sipper, not a full drawl, or it can get harsh. Burns slow and smooth to the bottom. The room, to me, it camp fire and popcorn. Love the tastes, pretty complex, not t... Read More
oo dank and musty like some English blends. This is my #1, and for me, it is a morning and evening smoke. Read Less

Full and Flavorful
March 17, 2020
Product: Dan Tobacco Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend 250g
A Balkan blend unlike any other. This has everything but the kitchen sink in it. You get a dark fired va/per coming through with notes of the orientals and latakia. The amount of skill needed to blend so many components to this level of flavor and qu... Read More

Sweet, Smoky & Tart
March 13, 2020
Product: Dan Tobacco Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend 50g
The combo of perique and latakia creates a room note that will clear the room! Seriously... I love Latakia but this one reeks. This is a sweet, smoky and tart tasting mixture. It’s dominated by the moderately fired, creamy and woody-sweet latakia,... Read More
similar to Pirate Kake. The Orientals are unstoved and are slightly sour, musty and contribute a verdant brightness to the profile. The VA adds bready sweetness, while the Perique is just the way I like it – fruity with twangy raisins rather than spice. The Kentucky lends some toasted pecan like depth and isn’t the overly-smoky, spiced oak-charred flavor. I like this one, though I think Ten Russians is along the same lines, and is much darker, more refined, and less expensive. For the money and quality, stick with Ten Russians or even Pease’s Quiet Nights. While this has the Dark Fired to differentiate it, the difference in price vs the flavor doesn’t make sense, unless you buy bulk. It’s still a very tasty smoke. Nic 2.5-3 out of 5. Read Less
Very Scottish
August 23, 2023
Product: Dan Tobacco Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend 500g
Not great. I feel a bit deceived by the manufactured scarcity of this blend. It's not very English, but rather incredibly Scottish. It's a very peaty, toasty, malty, salty Scottish VaPer with some soapy, dried out latakia. Orientals are barely detect... Read More
able, drowned out by the DFK and perique. The virginias aren't very good either. Mostly brights and lemons that clash with the soapy, ashy (=over cured) latakia. I'm disappointed because this stuff is NEVER in stock and I've been waiting several years for it, so I bought the 500g bag. Mistake? Maybe. Definitely maybe. An old tin that I had a little while ago tasted a bit better though, so I'll give this half kilo some time in the cellar to see what develops in a few years. Fingers crossed. Hoping I don't wind up with 500 grams of useless mattress stuffing.
**All that said, I do award major points for the lack of Microban antifungal. Unless Laudisi is opening up factory sealed packaging and adding the Microban treatment in themselves, it shouldn't be there. And if it is there, it is so minimal that I haven't found any yet. I just jarred up half a kilo and none jumps out at me. As Microban looks like greasy talcum powder, smells like bitter apple and vinegar in its raw form and burning tires and aspirin during combustion in your bowl, and there is always a chunk or two in every tin or bag, the few tobaccos without it (only the UK and European imports) always taste so much more natural.

I should’ve liked it.

Product: Dan Tobacco Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend 50g
I should have liked it, but it nipped at my tongue and wasn’t enjoyable. It does smell and taste like a good English, it just didn’t work for me.
Good but cumbersome

Flavor is good but you have to get used to how to pack and light this smoke. not bad at all though.

A good blend but the dark fired doesn't really work good so not great probably pass on this one for the cellar.Yet worthy of trying a tin or 2. Update by the end of the tin this blend started to really work so I take back the dark fired not mixing we... Read More

I don't reach for it often, but its good
December 04, 2022
Product: Dan Tobacco Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend 50g
Tin note of smoky, mildly tart, and sweet ripe fruit. The black, brown and dark brown ribbons are relatively dry, no prep needed. Burns moderately with a few relights. The strength is medium to strong and nic is mild to medium. No flavoring detected.... Read More
Taste is full and consistent, with notes of smokey, wood, very spicy, tangy lemon grass, earth, floral, dry musty herbal, leather, mild spiced Rasin bread, mild bitter plums, a slightly sweet nutty background note, and a peppery retro. Latakia barely edges out the Orientals for the lead, the Virginias and Perique are strong supporters. Kentucky is filling in when needed. Room note is tolerable to strong, and aftertaste is great.

THE ORANGE MALTESE FALCON
February 14, 2022
Product: Dan Tobacco Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend 50g
This is a very interesting blend and much like the title might lead you to believe. This blend is a lot like GL Pease Maltese Falcon given yes they are both Balkan blends. But that said they are almost like bothers or sisters and could’ve easily been... Read More
made by the same person if I didn’t know better. The only differences being the Falcon tends to lean more towards a berry flavor maybe black berries? When Bill Bailey’s tends to lean more towards a hint of orange…No they’re not Aromatic’s the Vergina‘s / Oriental‘s just have a particular way about them in the blends structure. Bills blend however can hit hard with the Nicotine if you chooch hard enough something that I do suggest as this won’t burn or bite your tongue only start to develop an extremely pleasant sweet sherbet flavor. However as good as this blend it’s nothing revolutionary just a solid Balkan blend if given the choice though I would take this over the Falcon just because I prefer Oranges over black Berries and Bill’s if provoked enough with heavy puffing can really light your eyes up!

Product: Dan Tobacco Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend 50g
Wonderful oriental flavors with unique notes from the Kentucky tobacco. All components are in perfect balance, even the Latakia. This does not come across as a heavy Latakia mixture. Just a wonderful oriental forward with an added smokiness from the ... Read More

"Strong blend"? No. A rich and complex medium.
November 18, 2019
Product: Dan Tobacco Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend 50g
Typical hints of woody, earthy, sour and molasses are aromas commonly found in blends of Virginia, Oriental and Latakia. Simply put, it's a blend with a milder taste and aroma than "My mixture 965" (Dunhill before Peterson, not Old Dunhill)... Read More
