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.

First of all, this blend is nothing like the old Balkan Sobranie White. With that out of the way, what you get a mild to medium English with a smoky, woody, earthy, musty sweet Cyprian Latakia that is well complimented by the smoky, woody, floral, vegetative, Greek Orientals, which has a little dryness and spice to them. The lemon Virginia offers a little tart and tangy citrus with minor spice and grass notes. It's just above being a condiment. The strength is just past the center of mild to medium. The taste is medium. Has a moderate nic-hit. Won't bite or get harsh, but has a few small rough edges. A well balanced all day smoke that burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace with with a very consistent flavor. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a pleasant after taste, and pungent room note. Not quite an all day smoke.
