No, not that kind of BS. . .
My two tins of the new Balkan Sobranie arrived today, and I cannot tell you all how eager I am to dive in. I loved the original (back in the day) and while I don't expect to have major flashbacks to that blend, I do have really high expectations for this one. And I don't think that's unreasonable: If you have the nerve to put the name "Balkan Sobranie" on a tin, you'd better be prepared to back that up. Add in the fact that this is from the same blender that produces Penzance and Stonehaven, my favorite blends in their respective categories, and it's hard not to really get my hopes up for this one.
I'd love to hear others' thoughts on this one -- whether you know anything about the "original" or not.
