    Favorite Balkan....??? Definition of a Balkan...???

    Ok... so since the Balkan Showdown at the Chicago Pipe Show... the question begged is... What is your favorite balkan? Maybe more importantly, who can give the best definition of the difference between a Balkan and English? Is there a difference???

    I havent been smoking as much...

    I have a similar issue, especially with latakia blends, plus some pretty bad bite with VAs. Take a break, thats what I do anyhow, you will come back and enjoy it again. It is more of a lifestyle, rather than a habit. So, when it becomes habitual your body lets you know...IMO...

    Going Shopping... Latakia Blends

    On Saturday I am going to my local B&M. I want to expand my Latakia collection; I already have some Penzance, Nightcap, and the Frog series. I was thinking about some Dunhill London Mixture, SG Commonwealth, or maybe Pembroke. Comments??? Suggestions???

    Favorite English...

    I have only begun to dive into Penzance... It is great, but I am only into my first tin, and I cannot rightly put it above my beloved FOTT. My decision might change... or not... let you know after a tin or two more.

    Favorite English...

    I know that there has to be a similar thread, but here I go anyhow... What is your favorite, all-time, desert island, English tobacco? For myself, it is Frog Morton on the Town. Perfect combination of sweet and smoky latakia, like a campfire marshmallow. *edit*- Moved to Pipe Tobacco Discussion...

    McClelland Tudor Castle Arcade

    Holy COW! McClelland Tudor Castle Arcade is a GREAT blend! I really enjoyed to regular Tudor Castle, but the Arcade is ridiculously good! It is different from the regular because it has a hint of latakia. Just curious if anyone else has had the same awesome experience.

    Esoterica- TAD Recommendation

    Though I cannot find any Penzance or Stonehaven, I was wandering if anyone had any other blend by Esoterica that you can recommend???
