I like BS but not at that price. I bought a sleeve of 4 tins last week at Iwan Ries for 14.20 a tin.
You never know, you might actually like it!

I picked up a tin of Balkan Sobranie at SmokingPipes when they were available the other day and cracked it open this afternoon. I don't think it's worth the $15 I paid for it. There are so many other, better tasting oriental-forward english blends for a much lower price. It's novel for the yenidje flavor, but way overhyped for what it is in my opinion.
honest gods, or spirits, i prefer glp odyssey over most others i smoked. but curiosity keeps my coins going away to the shop keepers.
I got a tin there about two weeks ago. I went through it pretty quick, so that must mean I liked it
?
I couldn't compare it to any of the old versions, so can't say how it stacks up, but if you're curious to try it, there's only one way to scratch the itch......I don't remember having tried White Knight, but I'll try to remember to pick some up.
Or, for a small fee, I can arrange for Fat Tony to pay them a visit.For a $3000 double-charge, or even a backorder, I'd have to visit customer service in person.

Mr. Ouellette , he's Mr. Nice Guy.
Mr. Fat Tony? Let's just say ... when he puts you on 'backorder,' you never come back 'in stock' again.
If you really want to "taste the legend" it's going to cost you about $300. If you're lucky, it won't be a ghost of its former self.$18Balkan Sobranie Pipe Tobacco Tins at TobaccoPipes.com

I’ll take 100g of HU Fayyum for $5 less every day of the week.
Yeah I don’t even like the stuff was just posting for others.
not a very big Latakia fan but White Knight is not bad at all. Almost needs to be smoked fresh though it seems.
I think a lot of Balkans are that way. If you want your latakia punchy and full strength it's best to avoid aging.
Interesting, just saw a few tins at Iwan Ries the other day. They must have sent a new batch to a bunch of US retailers. I know it's subjective but this may be my favorite smoking mixture. A bowl of this stuff always helps me endure the brutal Chicago cold, especially since I wouldn't dare smoke it inside.
Edit: wow, just checked the price, I love this stuff for $14 (which is what it costs at Iwan Ries) but for $20, forget it since there are other Balkans that taste very similar for half of that price. It's a bold flavor, certainly not for everyone. I guess I must be a fan of "gasoline infused puppy farts"

Recently picked up the Sutliff Balkan Sobranie match which I'm looking forward to dipping into when my Sutliff BS 759 runs out given how much I liked that.
Smoked White Knight once, couldn't stop defending women on facebook for 3 days after. I'll never make that mistake again. I'll stick with Balkan Sobrainie
I never tried the stuff but from what I have seen it's the Dorian fruit of blends. I honestly have seen more one blend smokers with that stuff then anything else. Or heard as much don't trust the hype. Which kind of makes it a must try considering at worst it will be educational.
