As expected from Peterson this is excellent tobacco. I prefer Irish Oak but this will fill in nicely.I will buy it again. Lewis

Milder than other Balkan blends. Good incense flavor in the retrohale try a tin today then move up to the heavy hitters!
Product: Peterson Balkan Mixture 50g
This is a very mild Balkan blend. Not my favorite, I prefer Old Dublin over this, but it is definitely worth trying. Excellent for someone new to pipe smoking.
Love that Smokey tin note!

This is exactly what I was looking for that Smokey campfire smell. Smokes really well. And I will put this on my rotation.

Product: Peterson Balkan Mixture 50g
In the new world without Dunhil you might want to give this a try.
I think it is a little too mild for repurchase.
Smooth and relaxing

Product: Peterson Balkan Mixture 50g
Smooth and very relaxing blend that can be smoked any time of day or night. Maybe not an all day smoker but very close. The Latakia is smooth and silky while the perique adds the dose of excitement. Not over powering at all, this is a must try for fa... Read More

I love it my all time favorite
Product: Peterson Balkan Mixture 50g
In the wonderfully vast ocean of delicious English/Balkan blends this one is low on the list. That being said I won't be in pain finishing it.
I just find it bland and forgettable.
Unremarkable

Product: Peterson Balkan Mixture 50g
This one did not suit me the way it did others. In this day and age there are so many other blends that offer more than this one does. It would be suited for a summer evening potentially when something fairly light is wanted, but on a cold winter d... Read More
ay it leaves a lot to be desired. The Perique does come through and tingle the mouth pretty well, which will warm you up if nothing else. I will not be repurchasing.
Update: Upon smoking this a few more times I am upping my grade to 3.5. Still not a dramatically complex blend, but one that I can find some enjoyment with. Read Less
A CLASSIC

Product: Peterson Balkan Mixture 50g
One of my favorites. Quite a strong smoke. Best in pipes with deep smoke chambers. Marvelous flavor. Better when aged.
One of my favorite smells

Product: Peterson Balkan Mixture 50g
The tin note on this is amazing. It is one of my favorite english style blends. There is a ton of flavor. If I could get this in bulk i would.
Product: Peterson Balkan Mixture 50g
Like all Peterson blends this is a very good one .Lights well and burns well. I cut it 1/2 star not for the blend but because it is only in tiney tins. It should be in larger tins. Lewis

Peterson surprised me, love the pipes, very impressed so far with the tobacco
An excellent Balkan
February 24, 2018
Product: Peterson Balkan Mixture 50g
I’ve only been smoking daily for just under a year, but have found that Oriental-forward mixtures tend to be my preference. With that in mind, Balkan delight is an excellent mixture—gentler than say something like C&D Byzantium and a bit sweeter,... Read More
but lovely in its notes. Still, it lacks real depth, although that may likely come after a little TLC aging. I don’t have enough of a palette yet to compare to other hard-core Balkans, but I rather liked this enough to buy more and to recommend it. Read Less
Summer Evening Smoke
June 09, 2017
Product: Peterson Balkan Mixture 50g
I don't know that there are orientals here, but the mild Latakia makes this a great smoke for a warm summer night. This and Old Dublin are must try blends.
A Must have.

It was my first non aromatic. You open it and is very strong to smell. the Perique is easy to taste (but you get used to it) the orientals on it...I'm not sure. Easy on the mouth. Smokes very well. BUT: you must clean very well any (peterson) sorry, ... Read More

The Real Deal
September 30, 2015
Product: Peterson Balkan Mixture 50g
Peterson's Balkan Delight is the real deal. It is a strong English blend with a full body. When you open the tin it can be smelled from across the room. It is easily lit and the Latakia comes through immediately. Once the initial Latakia rush fades y... Read More
ou begin to taste the spicy hint of the Perique. The orientals and Virgina keep everything balanced very well. This is a bold blend for the experienced pipe smoker. I smoke it out of several different pipes with no problems. Read Less

I think this tobacco be well matched with people who loves Latakia or strong english blend. for me I love latakia I really like this, I smoke it in my custom poker pipe it's burn really well, great stuff.
A tasty Balkan

Product: Peterson Balkan Mixture 50g
I've tried Peter Stokkebye's Balkan Supreme and like it so I thought I'd give Balkan Delight a go. I would say Balkan Delight is dominated by the latakia in the blend, but the perique adds a nice little bit of spice to the smokey flavor. For me the... Read More
nicotine was kind of strong. I tried it in a Nording Giant Freehand and it mostly smoked down to gray ash. The tin note reminds me of a campfire. Read Less
