Straus Tobacco Blue Chip
(3.25)
A classic style Medium Balkan Mixture prepared from rich stoved Virginia strip, Cyprian Latakia, lemon Carolina and the finest Greek Oriental tobaccos. This is very similar to the old Balkan Sobraine white. We believe you will find it to be exceptional in quality.

Another of the bombing blends from the BoB.
I have mixed feelings about this blend. I like the flavor of it, but it refuses to behave for me. The larger chunky pieces, that are darker in color, don't burn with the rest of the ribbon cut parts. The Lat content in this good, the harmony of the blend is outstanding. I can see why this is one of the more preferred blends from Strauss. I smoked this all day yesterday while driving my garbage route, and all day I'm dumping out chunky ashes. Can't get it to burn nicely for me.
It's good enough for some I guess. And I see other reviews here where people had no problems like mine. I'm going to finish it up and move on though. It's too high maintenance.
