I had my second bowl of this english blend last night. Here are some mfg comments:

ORIGINAL FORMULA BALKAN SMOKING MIXTURE WAS CREATED IN LONDON AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CENTURY BY THE MASTER of TOBACCO BLENDERS WHO FIRST COMBINED THE AROMATIC PLEASURES OF THE CHOICEST OF MACEDONIA AND LATAKIA LEAF WITH THE RICHNESS OF OLD VIRGINIA TO GIVE THE PIPE SMOKER AN UNRIVALLED SMOKING PLEASURE.
Here are some of my notes:

A nice tasting high latakia mix. The latakia is very present but so are flavors of VA and other complex mixes. It has a nice aroma and very nice taste. It did require many relites and burns very slowly. Its biggest draw back is that it has a bite. Not so much a tongue bit but my whole mouth feels beat up. The tobacco seems dry enough, but it must develop a lot of steam while burning to rough up my whole mouth.

Overall its a very enjoyable flavor\aroma and I really want to like this blend, but I am fighting with the masochist in me since there are others that taste similiar without the pain.

I gave it an 8.75/10 (mostly due to the bite). I would still recommend people to try this blend.
