About This Pipe Tobacco
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.

With Age, Much Improved

Product: Dan Tobacco Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend 50g
ill piquant. Orientals are still a noticeable condiment. Latakia is still smoky but much more integrated into the whole chord. As for the Kentucky, it is perhaps the most changed of all the components. When it's fresh the DFK in Bill Bailey's is boisterous. But with age it is much more of a team player. Again, I am impressed what age can do. The blend is has become very smooth and pleasant while maintaining a characteristically Balkan flavor profile. I look forward to seeing what changes have taken place in the big 500g jar....Read More

t it's not too hard to handle. This reminds me of something I haven't had in a while and I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's good. It's one of the better Balkans I've tried and definitely better than Balkan Supreme in my opinion, although much pricier......Read More

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 well but still not a go to.
