I've been pipe-smoking for 45+ years and "grew up" with the OLD Balkan Sobranie, Dunhill 965 and Standard Full, Rattray's Red Rapp and Black Mallory as well as Bengal Slices, State Express, etc. While I have found nothing like these old bl... Read More

Product: Arango Balkan Supreme Bulk
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。

First off S-P was out for weeks and I ordered some from a tobacconist. Arrived what felt dry to the touch so I jarred immediately then cracked open about a month later and let me say I recomend this bulk blend to age/cellar for at least 3 months!!!! ... Read More
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

这款草，是我在SP第一个订单就买了的，8个oz，很好抽于是分了朋友一半。今天再次抽到，感慨良多。最开始买它，是因为Arango，跟指环王里面的人皇，阿拉贡，很像，眼缘到了，我就买了很多，又是L草。时隔一年有余，抽了大半年V又开始沉迷L草，再次抽到它，非常感动。打开网站想要买它个3，5斤，结果发现没货了，我等等看。期间我一直找寻类似SG 共和国那样的口味，他们的味道（与其说是味道，不如说是香气）非常相似！烟气相当饱满，每一口都感觉很紧实，点火之后那股子香气就窜出来了，非常浓郁的烟熏和木质香气。好奇... Read More

这款英式调配，对于我这个以前不喜欢L草的人来说，很不错，我现在最喜欢静夜，我感觉这个就像是淡一点的静夜，没有静夜那么甜，但是味道依然能让我接受，目前我主要抽静夜和这款，非常不错的一款英式调配，推荐不习惯L草的人先尝尝静夜，然后在试试这款

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

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

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

way. Perhaps I’ve ruined my palate with “big” tobaccos, but this blend is TOO smooth and rounded for me. It’s like Vodka, distilled down into an ultra-smooth but bland tasting beverage. I’m most reminded of Chelsea Morning, which I passed over as well for being too mild. I keep waiting for the Latakia to poke its head out and say hello like an old friend, but it’s crickets here.
I can see why many people love this blend, and for the price point, it is an excellent mild English blend. If, however, you seek big flavors and bold tobaccos like I do, think twice about Arango. Read Less

aroma, they hit the nail on the head. One puff and I was transported back to 1968 and my first taste of Latakia. It was in a blend much like this, offered by Jost in St. Louis...can’t remember what they called it but there’s no mistaking the flavor and aroma. Still on my first bowl and I can tell it’s a winner on all counts. It’s hard to describe the overall aroma and flavor except to say you can tell it’s a Latakia blend. Very smooth rich smoke. Seems like an after dinner or evening relaxation smoke. I defaulted to a favorite Canadian pipe for this one as I’m used to the combination and it still works. Will it color the flavor of the pipe? Yes. Do I care? No. It’s a good flavor and it’s ghost isn’t pesky. I’ve gone through most of 2ounces in a week and really like this stuff. If this is what Balkans are all about, I think I like them. It’s a once or twice a day smoke in a medium size bowl and has no bad habits like bite of excess moisture. The Latakia is in your face but nicely modulated by the orientals and Virginia’s. 👍🏽 Read Less

Better Than Most Balkans I've Sampled & Not as Costly
May 25, 2019

After sampling a few bowls of Arango, I can easily understand how most lovers of Balkan blends find this mixture appealing & I concur with some of the other reviewers in that it is somewhat similar to the BSOM. However, although similar it seems ... Read More
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

but is just so pleasing to me. I like all types of tobacco but not English blends as much. This has hit the creamy spot that is just good. Get some. Read Less

This was a pleasant surprise, and you should try some. The tin note is smokey and pleasant, and the smoke is full and tasty. It consistently burns cool all the way to the bottom leaving clean ash with no relights. Nicely done.

Bulk buy. Somewhat moist but smokeable right from the bag. This one seems to need to be a bit moist. Initial bag notes are Latakia and more Latakia. Underneath the Latakia is some sweetness likely from the cavendish. Lights easy and stays lit well. F... Read More
lavours of campfires and wood at first. Let the smoke develop slowly and you will be rewarded with soft incense like orientals. Burns to a white ash and leaves no moisture. Excellent smoke, can be an all day smoke if you want it to be. Very recommended. Read Less

I purchases 2oz just to try it out. After smoking the first bowl I believe this will be a good all day smoke.

Truly, one of the best Balkans at any price, but for $40/lb, it's a steal. Delicious, Latakia driven blend with just the right amount of each component in the background. The aroma is fantastic, and the tin note is like a brisket over a campfire. Thi... Read More

Product: Arango Balkan Supreme Bulk
The best bargain in pipe tobacco at the moment. At $33 a pound with the sale this is a no brainer. Very sour orientals, sweet Virginia & black cav and some turkish to liven things up! If you enjoy Sasieni or PS Balkan then this should be right up... Read More

smooth, creamy, sweet, smoky, everything i look for in a good smoke. the latakia is present but not overpowering

Update: I had purchased some more Arango Balkan Supreme, and while repacking it into the good old glass Ball jars I found an unopened jar that had been sitting for over a year (can't believe I missed it). So, I broke it open and stuffed the pipe, a... Read More
nd WOW! It has melded into such a nice, sweet, and flavorful smoke! I love this stuff right out of the shipping box, but this is even better!
[OK, I bought a pound of this stuff based on what I've read here and other sites, and you are all right! This stuff is great! Who to hell is Arango?!? 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! This my day pleasure now! Soft, and sweet on the tongue!] Read Less

Smokes Beautifully

Product: Arango Balkan Supreme Bulk
The 2 ounces of Arango Balkan Supreme I received from Smoking Pipes arrived at what is for me the perfect moisture content. Both the Lane 1Q and the HH Dark Fired I received in the same package were moister so I jarred both with some air in the jars ... Read More
and will let them sit for a while. No tongue bite with the Arango, just a little peppery tingle on the tongue, smoother than the Balkan Sasieni I recently consumed which was too sharp on the tongue for my taste. Flavor on the Arango is mild, not as rich as I might prefer, nic hit also moderate. 3 1/2+ stars for me. Read Less
Oh, I've found it now! :-)
