Milan Tobacconists Milan's Balkan Blend
(3.33)
Quite a few of our customers have bemoaned the scarcity of Balkan Sobranie's Original Smoking Mixture over the years, so we took it upon ourselves to create a similar blend, which we're told bears an uncanny resemblance to the legendary tobacco. But, we'll leave that all-important comparison to you. Milan's Balkan Blend is latakia based with a mixture of Orientals, Virginias, and other fine tobaccos added to make for a bold and earthy smoke with notes of spice and a mild sweetness.

A decent blend be it English or Balkan or somewhere in between. A supposed match/substitute for Balkan Sobranie Original . . . keep on looking folks, although it's an okay blend by it's own merit.
Mildly sweet, a slight floral note wafts in and out during the first quarter/third, nice spice perhaps Perique to tickle my schnoz but not over the top, a deep woodsy oak flavour from the Latakia, and some nice changes as the bowl combusts.
It's not a Latakia-bomb nor is it overly Oriental forward although it is somewhat full, a mediocre blend for any time the of day or night. Combustion is very well behaved: dry and cool even when pushed hard, Vitamin N is mild which I appreciate, although not the reason why I combust anything be it cigars or pipes: fit, flavour and finish that's it.
It's okay but nothing special, I won't buy it again.
