Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Erinmore Balkan Mixture

After reading comment on this one I wanted to give it a try,but unfortunately it wasn't what I expected it to be.This is not my kind of tobacco. Fairly sweet at the beginning of the bowl but later on gives you a bitter-sweet aftertaste.I think I will stick on the ERINMORE MIXTURE,or maybe try something else before I end up

if you like english/balkan tobaccos,you cant go wrong with this.

A blend with taste of fruit (cherry maybe), caramel and chocolate, very pleasant, little bit tiny at the beggining of the pipe.

Like some others here, I ordered the 15 gram sampler pack. The smell straight from the pack was divine, with the stong scent of the Latakia vying with the Orientals for my olfactory adoration. Upon inspection, the tobacco appears to have small pieces of broken flake in with the ribbon cut tobaccos, so it did require a little rubbing out before it could be packed & lit. It packed easily & took the flame with ease. The light remained throughout the bowl with very little maintenance. The tobacco has a taste which is sweet & dark at the same time. The flavour is dominated by the Orientals, with the Latakia playing second fiddle up untill the second half of the bowl when it moves to the foreground of the taste & levels itself out with the orientals. I think the Virginian is just in there to aid the burn & provide a mellowing effect to the strong flavour of the Latakia & Orientals, although, on consideration - maybe it's sweetness was there in the backgound - subdued by the spicy & musty Orientals & Latakia. The Viginian is a necessary component, but does not in any way dominate or express it's individual character. It seems to come across only in a synergised form combined with the other, darker tobaccos. The high quality of the tobacco used is evident in the extraordinarily exquisite taste. The tobacco smokes with a velvety smoothness throughout, & this expertley blended creation is as close to a Balkan Heaven as I think we can expect to see here on Earth. I got no bite from this tobacoo at all, but beware - if over puffed, I think it would snap quite viciously. The room note recieved no complaints. One of my current favourites, I have a feeling that I will keep this around all the time. Certainly hits the spot after dinner whilst allowing the stresses of the day to waft away to a good film or some classic tunes. This was smoked in a GBD Bulldog which I use for most Latakia blends. In all honesty, I lack the linguistic competence to express appropriately the magic of this tobacco. Very highly recommended. (N.B. Needless to say - as this is a Balkan blend - this contains NONE of the flavours associated with other Erinmore blends (eg Erinmore Flake) which I can see has concerned some people here - this is, as I have said, just incredibly high quality unflavoured tobacco).

high quality tobacco, packs easy and fast,burns evenly and tastes fantastic.

the taste is strong ,satisfying and natural. deep and spicy.

it has an acceptable room note and is one of those natural blends that can be smoked indoor.

A smoke that I wanted to try. I bought it in Berlin in the shop KaDeWe.

A marvelous, all day smoke, for those who love Balkan. Of course it needs to be dried before the first smoking, but in no case can this be considered as a disadvantage for this marvelous smoke. Orange Virginia, Oriental and a marvelous Latakia, which is not intense or tedious. It leaves a discreet and not annoying perfume in the area. Beautiful and characteristic flavor which is maintained up to the end of bowl.

What else can I say It is now one of my top 5 tobaccos. Its a little difficult to light, specifically when it is humid.

Well, those who do not like aromatics have to try this one. I used to be a fan of aromatics, but out of curiosity, I purchased a tin of this nice tobacco, and i must say I loved it!!! Of course, the first few times were strange and unusual, but after that, I liked it very much... highly recommended...

I was sent a pouch of this as a consequence of a bungled tobacco order. My instant reaction to anything with 'Erinmore' on the front is to put it straight in the bin. I could not have been more impressed. This was a really enjoyable smoke. No toung bite, and a super taste right to the end. The pouch was only for 12.5 grams, and I will certainly be getting some more of this in the future.

I've smoked this a lot of late - not exactly through choice, though; my local (non-smoking) tobacconist seems to have decided that he doesn't fancy stocking Peterson's Old Dublin (let alone Ashton's Artisan Blend!) and this seemed like the only thing he had on the shelf that could give me something of that fragrent Latakia nose-tickle. It's a pleasant tobacco; it is inoffensive; it's not cheap; I wouldn't feel like buttonholing strangers about it and saying 'You MUST try some of this!', it's not a tobacco I can get too worked up about.

It's O.K (and if this sounds a little like 'damning with faint praise' then I suppose I can live with that).
