Dan Tobacco: Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend 250g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-293-0004

Manufactured in a century-old brick building in picturesque Lauenburg, Germany, Dan pipe tobacco has gained quite a worldwide reputation among smokers, with a wide variety of blends and cuts on offer. Andreas Mund became the successor in charge of production when master blender Jürgen Westphal retired, and is assisted by Heiko Behrens as well as Michael Apitz of Dan Pipe.

Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend is a full-bodied English mixture consisting of Virginias, Orientals, 10% Dark-Fired Kentucky leaf, and over 40% Latakia, rounded out with just a pinch of Perique.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Mixture Done Right

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.

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
