I mostly enjoy English blends. Based on the reviews here I thought I MUST give this blend a try, so I sent off for 4 ounces from PipesandCigars.com, the only place I could find it available and fully expecting to like it. On arrival the moisture level was just about right. It packed and lit easily and stayed lit nicely. It started off very promising, with a nice toasty flavor that made me nod and smile - nice and creamy. But about half-way through the bowl I started to get a slight tingly and prickly sensation, first on my tongue and then on the roof of my mouth, which increased slightly through the remainder of the bowl. I was deliberately smoking very gently, and the bowl was not overly hot. My tongue and mouth were thoroughly irritated for several days thereafter. Not wanting to rush into judgment, I waited a couple of months and tried this again with the exact same result. Something in this blend seems to attack my mouth, and life is just too short to waste time on tobacco that bites. I cannot recommend this one.

Bought 8oz of this stuff from P&C and had to rehydrate right away. I've had this blend for going on 2 years hoping for it to mellow & sweeten, alas all hope is dashed. Tonight, smoked my last bowl and finally decided not to torture myself any more. The first bowl I smoked, as well as the last tonight, smelled like a chemical factory, tasted like diesel fumes, and burned & bit my tongue like a rocket re entering Earth's atmosphere. I just can't do it anymore...life's too short. Garbage truck will be taking it away tomorrow

Some story that this blend is an attempt to recreate the famous Sobranie Balkan of yesteryear - total failure. It has a pungent nose in the pouch which is a bit disturbing. It nips the tongue and roof of mouth like a mouthwash. Burns with a dirty dark ash. Had a 5g sample bag and am glad I did not buy any more. Awful stuff Back to Old Dublin or Balkan delight (Peterson) or even Gaweth Hoggarth's Balkan Mixture.

Ok, PS tobaccoes are cheaper than other brand.
I was interesting to try a few. I won't again!
Balkan Supreme have nothing compare Balkan Mixture from GH. It's a low grade, I will say.
At the middle of the ball, it start to bite. I tried to pack my pipe differently, nothing better. I tried different humidity, same.
Stay away.

This PG coated wolf in sheep's clothing wanted me to like it, but I just couldn't. It felt weird in the hand and smelled nice when burning, but the taste was really bad. It was too treated...too chemicalized... too garf inducing. I smoked a bowl and the rest got dumped in the shrubs with the other mulch.
Peace to all my fellow puffers.

WOW, this stuff is rancid ! I really don't understand all the high ratings. In my opinion tobacco reviews are as useful as used elephant condoms. I have purchased all of the highest rated tobaccos that I could get my hands on, and I must say 80% turned out to be pure crap.
Latakia should be banned outright. A few flakes of latakia I can take, but this is a latakia nuclear dirty bomb. In the bag it smells like chemicals from a sewage treatment plant, but wait, the explosion comes when you light it. Everything around you will smell like latakia. And the taste it leaved behind in your mouth, I can't even go there, just can't.... think of a happy place... think of a happy place.
You have been warned.
