The difference between balkan and english style tobaccos are the proportions of the Latakia to the Oriental and Virginia leaves. This is a medium bodied balkan blend, and has a decent level of smooth Oriental tobaccos present. This tobacco has a moderate nicotine level, so it is best enjoyed by a smoker looking to relax or smoke after a meal. Order your tin of Balkan Mixture tobacco today!

GAWITH HOGGARTH & CO BALKAN MIXTURE PIPE TOBACCO
I have become very fond of Balkan blends and wanted to expand my stable of tobaccos to rotate or cellar... So I gave this one a try.... The tin moisture content upon opening for me, was perfect... tin aroma was very pleasant with forward orientals and latakia... Easy light and clean burn with GREAT taste and room note... I need to get more used to this blend by trying a few more bowls... At this time would probably reach for Balkan Sasieni first,,, but need to be patient and give this one more time to grow on me....

My first Balkan
Very smooth and cool smoke. Out of the tin it felt slightly damp but smoked very well with only a single relight. A mellow flavor and nicotine content with a hint of spice.

OK
Purchased in bulk, as I'm a regular smoker of Balkan Supreme. This has a good flavor, though is a bit wet, and thus tends to leave a rather large dottle.

A fine lakeland
I really enjoy this blend! A nice floral taste when you light up that I really enjoy!

Balkan winner!
Not a bad blend for fans of Latakia searching for a subtle sweetness to their smoke. The Latakia is smokey and earthy - balanced well by the Virginia and condimental tobaccos added. I'm supposing that the little sweetness is due to the infamous Lakeland additive from this historic manufacturer. All in all, I really enjoy this blend. The cut is a little stringy, and I do opt for a little dry time for a bowl's worth (20 mins suits me). Patiently puffed, this blend burns cool and well leaving little dottle or moisture to worry about. Great for a late night smoke while buried in the pages of a good book.
