can't say much that hasn't already been said. one of the best in my 40 yrs. of smoking the pipe. I buy in bulk and its ready to smoke when I get it. perfect moisture and burns with no relights to a perfect white ash when packed light. the oriental is the front man with the latakia on bass and the sweet Virginia on guitar. The perique plays keyboard, and the burley does backup. just an awesome band all in sync. has its own style and a huge fan base.

I was pleasantly surprised by this nicely-balanced Balkan.
Super Balkan has less Latakia than Star of the East but with more pronounced Orientals. Little to no VA or Burley noted. The Perique is slightly noticeable.
A nice, subtle sharpness from the Orientals develops down the bowl. In fact, this blend is somewhat reminiscent of the Early Morning Pipe flavor profile and mildness, but Super Balkan has more Latakia than EMP, less VA and is sharper (in a good way!). Some light sweetness noted. Great burning cut. Nice white ash.
Super Balkan is a Super Blend!
