I have a fellow pipe smoking friend in the Sarasota, Florida area who sends me new blends to try and review whenever Gary Bennington whips up another new one. #15 is not new, but I just never reviewed it for some reason. I am not sure whether this light English style tobacco would really please the English crowd as it does have quite a bit of Yenidje in it. I also am not sure it qualifies as a Balkan but perhaps more so than English. Light fare but, typical of this marvelous Florida Shop's owner/tobacconist Gary bennington, it is quality all the way.
