最酣畅淋漓的英式调配，这是和传统英式有所区别的风格，通过把拉塔基的风味淋漓尽致的发挥，表现出了一种狂傲不羁的粗放，但是与CD，sutliff不同的是这款调配一定是经过陈化的，没有其他美式草的杂味，主线非常清晰，就是让人心驰神往拉塔基的。用喷砂撞球抽着这款草，不同于西敏寺，艺匠，老都柏林，睡帽的沉静与绅士。它让我想起了大学在青海草原上打马扬鞭的岁月，也许这就是美式烟草想带给人的体验吧。

I did notice doing an inventory today that I have a couple pounds of this tucked away for a rainy day, or zombie apocalypse, either way, I've got a stash of this, so yeah, I'm good.

to support it and make it multi-dimensional. I enjoy this blend while walking my dog in the evenings, and it's a terrific companion because it doesn't need a lot of re-lightings, only tamping, to stay lit during our stroll around the neighborhood. I am comparing this mixture right now with a match mixture for Dunhill's My Mixture 965. One of them has to lose, but they're both really nice. I think I prefer the darker flavor and drier burning qualities of the Arango Balkan Supreme, but the fight ain't over yet. Read Less
Cool, Tastey English, Nice Range of Flavors
July 04, 2018
By:
Scurvy Dog
Product: Arango Balkan Supreme Bulk
hich I often get a sense of with intense Latakias. Tiny hint of wood, then some pretty very mild spice and nose tingle after stoking and tamping well. More spice less of the smooth Latakia back and forth as it goes along, with small detection of Virgina periodically in the retrohale. I really like this one.
A little more spice than Stokkebye Luxury English. Like it about the same, but a little more. Burns excellent, cool, no moisture left over, easily managed.
A little more full or roundedness than HH 10 to Midnight. Better burning too. Arango/Stokkebye = much better price too. Smoked up to one saved bowl left, which was saved to compare to the 5 pounds that are in route for delivery. Great any time smoke! ◄8/10✠Skulls► Read Less
4.75 stars my highest ranked Balkan for balance
November 20, 2017
By:

Product: Arango Balkan Supreme Bulk
When opened tobacco smells very smoky what threw me off was moisture was a +2 after storing/cellaring but a -2 when opened when arrived from post office. If a blend is hot the leaves feel dryer than they will be from the cellar. Back to the blend. Moisture is almost perfect now, jar note is AWESOME camp fire smoke, this blend is not as sweet as bbbb but has WAY better smoke flavor, can burn a bit warm if a clump of bright Virginia is smoked, orientals noticed on retrohale if puffed strong. Overall great GREAT smoke that doesn’t kill the taster after 3 bowls Read Less

lay with the smokey herbal Latakia. The Latakia plays a big forward role, but the cavendish is really affective in softening the dark edges of this lat-bomb. Tasty waves of Cavendish and Latakia interplay with a strong note of fine turkish Samsun, with a bit of floral, spicy, nutty sweetness. The Virginia is much harder to detect but offers a touch of grassy citrus. A real meal but not overwhelming, its just right. The nic hit is mild, even in a large bowl. 4 stars for me. Definitely a lat-bomb but its really good and beats the random English blends I have open right now (Artisan Blend, Skiff mixture, Margate). Read Less

Better Than Most Balkans I've Sampled & Not as Costly
May 25, 2019
By:
Michael T.
Product: Arango Balkan Supreme Bulk
to me that it does lack that certain subtle sweetness & unique flavoring of the "Original" mixture that I tasted in each & every draw. It does possess some sweetness as the varied tobaccos begin to interact after about maybe one third of the way down through the smoking session & at the halfway point is when it really begins the melding process reaching a truly exhilarating Balkan flavor.
I guess this contains some Turkish Yenidje but couldn't tell for sure & If not, whatever Orientals used seemed to act as a fitting substitute. My one half pound bag arrived with the perfect moisture content, meaning that it required some drying to be at a proper smoking level. I think many so called Balkan blends are more English than Balkan due to a Latakia overload that detracts from the flavor of the Oriental, unsweetened Cavendish & other varietals. At two saw-bucks for a half pound it's a steal. Read Less

I love the dry, but fresh taste of this tobacco right out of the box! If you're looking for a true English (Balkan) this isn't it, but it has such a nice, full, round sweet taste. The Cavendish like sweetness plays such a nice background, but the Latakia rides right along. It really is well balanced! When you pop open the shipping box you're hit with that heavenly Latakia aroma, but when you stuff your pipe and put fire to it, you say; "wait a minute!" There is more here! Enjoy!
