The top of the bowl tastes mostly like a classic virginia mixture. I can't seem to get more than a little taste of oriental or latakia. The bottom of the bowl is better - a little strength and body - maybe the latakia has had a chance to catch up to the overpowering virginia. Brigham uses some kind of casing or humectant and it's pretty apparent in this mixture. Overall, it's an easy smoke, but nothing exciting. It's sad that Canada has nothing really competitive to offer in a Balkan mixture.

Upon first smell and first light, the lemon-ey Virginias and the sourish Turkish make for a less than stellar first impression. Stick with it; after a few minutes you might take a liking to it.

Blenheim Bard pretty much hits it on the head on this one, although economical...not so much any more in Canada. We're getting skinned alive on baccy's (and booze). I digress...Not the greatest 'English' blend but not bad. Two thumbs down from my squeeze!
