An excellent medium English, with superb burning qualities. This won't make the "too much Latakia is never enough" crowd happy, but I find it to have a perfectly balanced taste, with a clean finish. Recommended.

This is a superbly-balanced Balkan blend that has been savored by knowledgable pipe smokers for years. The exotic oriental component interlays perfectly with the Latakia (which is just slightly understated). The Virginia adds minimal support. This mixture packs and burns well and will arrive at your doorstep perfectly humidified. Easily 4 stars, this is highly recommended for Balkan and English lovers alike who seek high-quality mixtures.

This is my favorite in my short time of smoking pipe tobacco (cigars for years). Great flavor, smooth, smokes well, I don't get any bite. Great Job Carole!

A very clean tasting traditional English. The musty latakia taste is not predominant in this blend. The virginia is the tobacco in the forefront. Burns evenly, and is not harsh or hot, and finishes to a mottled white ash. A pleasant change of pace to the overwhelming latakia English blends. A slightly sweet virginia flavor, with the latakia and turkish in the background.
