Motzek Highland Balls
(3.00)
The "Oriental-Praline". Roughly ripped Oriental leafs, a fine Virginia and nutty,ripe burley, partly wrapped into tobacco leafs. Delicate spice with smooth peppery overtones. Notes of malt, thyme, cocoa. Sensitive, elegant, complex and delicate. A top notch tobacco in aroma and look. A specialty from our house - piece for true tobacco enthusiasts.
Notes: This is ribbon cut and ready rubbed Virginia/burley mix wrapped around with a Oriental leaf. Several pieces per 100 grams bag. Besides those "Pralines", there are also some coarse ripped loose Oriental leafs, as well as finer cut ribbons and ready rubbed, which are the exact same ingredients as the "Pralines", so you can make them yourself!

Is there a nicer way to present a tobacco? Or to transport? Or to give away as a gift? I'd say no.
The look in pouch is very wild; rough cut and ripped leafs from light to darker brown with some ready rolled balls inside which look like cute walnuts. Cold smell is sweet spicy and of tobacco but nice and decent.
Took some of the loose leafs with a big share of orients out, ripped it a bit apart and packed it (just fine) in a medium size chamber. Tobacco take flames easily and burns excellent. Very cool and steady without relighting until there's only a tiny bit of ashes left at the bottom of the pipe.
With the first few tokes there was an instant smile on my face. Super sweet and natural tobacco flavor with a whole spectrum of spicy top notes. Very very well balanced. I can truly differ all the single components - not in one toke but almost every single puff is different. Sweet citric Virginias play hide and seek with a nutty warm bodied chocolate Burley all rounded up with oriental spices reminds me a bit of sweet pepper and cardamom. I also "cracked" one of the "nuts" as they wouldn't fit in one of my pipes with same results. An exciting smoky ride but sweet all over.
My holy grail of natural tobaccos. Full rich blend of perfectly balanced flavors -an A to Z smoke. Never boring and worth all the money. Thanks TAK!
