| Tin Description: |
The Balkans, a place which recent history has not been kind to, offers majestic landscapes, rich culture and a long tradition of tobacco growing. The famous Oriental Jebel tobaccos come from the Balkans and are usually blended with Latakia, just like “Balkan Passion“. The result is a dry, smoky blend with a good measure of fine oriental layers from Turkey and Greece. Latakia from Cyprus, sweet and spicy Virginia, and a fine touch of Louisiana Perique further enhance the distinct character of “Balkan Passion“. …strong-flavored, smoky, dry. |

| Upon opening the 100gm tin of Balkan Passion, I was greeted with a beautiful looking tobacco that appears like Dunhill Standard Mixture Medium. I do not detect any casing in the tin scent, just a wonderful smokey tobacco smell. This is one of those tobaccos that produces a large volume of smoke. It packs very easily after ten minutes of dry time and burns cleanly. The complex flavors easily will keep lovers of English blends engaged. I have no idea how other reviewers find this to be a medium cased tobacco. If there is any casing at all, it is extremely mild. Balkan Passion is a medium-full English mixture of very high quality. I smoked the first 50gms in about three days! Hu-Tobacco is producing some amazing blends and Balkan Passion is yet another one to add to the Highly Recommended list!

| I have tried many blends balk and I have never tried one like that.I can only agree with those who have reviewed before me: it is a personal interpretation, as are the Gawith Hoggart or the Balkan 4noggins . The first thing I liked, after the originality,was the balance: I think that this blender is very gifted. BP is creamy, thick and round with flavors of toasted hazelnut and gingerbread. smoking it is nirvana buy it again and again...

| When I smoked the Balkan Passion the first time I was a little bit irritated.I thought it must be a fullbodied blend with a lot of Latakia. But the mean role of this blend plays the orient tobacco.The latakia is only in the background but always present The taste reminds a little bit of the Rattray`s `Red Repparee. But the taste of Balkan Passion is a bit more characterfully and the taste of the latakia is stronger. The Balkan Passion is a complex mixture for latakia and orient lovers. A very personally interpretation of a Balkan Blend.
I like it very much - highly recommended
