The nutty, earthy, mildly molasses sweet burley forms the base of the blend. The grassy, citrusy Virginia competes with the burley for second leads. The smoky, woody sweet Cyprian latakia tends to dominate most of the time, but doesn't drown out the other components. There's a pepper note whose origin that I can't decide on, and it may be perique, though it's not listed in the description. Has a mild to medium nic-hit. Won't bite or get harsh, but it does sport a very slight rough edge. Burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace with a rich, consistent flavor. Leaves just a little moisture in the bowl, and needs an average number of relights. Has a very pleasant after taste. Not quite an all day smoke.

A simple Balkan blend that is a great entry into the genre. Like most Tinder Box blends, they are milder and great for novices. This has a nice barbecue flavour, and a medium nic hit. It doesn't bite the tongue unless abused. There are better Balkans out there, but this is good for what it is.
3/4 for a novice smoker, 2/4 for a discerning smoker.
