Pipeworks & Wilke Pipe Tobacco - Good as an Entry For Balkan Blends?

mrmachado · Feb 21, 2019

I've just found this one here at a reasonable price ($24 the 1.75oz bag: expensive for USA/Europe, but not so much for where I live)

It has been discontinued, so it's rare stuff. It has great reviews.
What do you guys think of this blend?
Good for someone who never tried Balkan blends?

Never seen it. Never tried it. Heck, I've never had a Balkan either. :crying:

Really? I thought that they were a common tobacco type...

# 10 is very good. If I had to choose an “English” , “Balkan” whatever tobacco for an all day smoke, 10 would be close to the top. Buy it and enjoy it.

I enjoyed #10. If I remember right, it was an accessible English blend, not too savory or over powering. I didn't realize it was discontinued.

Hey machado
I remember a recent thread you started stating you didn't care much for latakia. Not sure about P&W #10 but most balkans I've experienced can be fairly latakia forward. Just a heads up.
