Oriental Blend with a Balkan Flair

the traditional Scottish style. It's much closer to a Balkan in flavor and character.
The Orientals have more than sufficient character to display a prominent spicy Balkan taste and personality along with a pretty fair amount of herbal fragrance. The Virginias are rich, a little sweet, and just below the Oriental element in dominance. (Though, it's close to an even balance.) I don't detect much from the Perique, but I do get just a little wood smoke from the Latakia. Asmara is not quite great and wonderful, but it is nevertheless quite good and very worthwhile.
It's a happy 4 out of 10 for strength and 6 out of 10 for flavor and taste intensity...Read More

Okay blend

th letting the burn stop occasionally.
With a small amount of effort this blend can be made to perform better and give up the true flavor profile.
I recommend Asmara to most Enthusiast and a few Newcomers as the blend does need some skill to get the best out of it.
Update:
I lowered the score from 3.5 to 3.0 due to the difficulty preventing a bad burn.
Flavor is good but hard to maintain.
I dried a full bowl over night and still had to take extra steps to get a good burn.
Very finicky blend!
For those experienced Enthusiasts who seek orientals there are good reasons to try this blend.
For Newcomers who have less experience there is a good chance of a bad burn.
Final Update,...
I am sorry such an unsuitable cut was used for this blend.
When correctly packed and with a slow pace burn, I rate this at the top of the Oriental profiles.
Many delicate flavors packed into a hot burning package.
With skill, you can experience the full flavor profile and it can be well worth the effort....Read More
