Now for a quick run-down of the other new-to-me tobacco I just got from SP and tried this evening. First, this is a fine blend that would easily make my rotation. I find its components quite balanced in that I find that the orientals and latakia seem equally notable with Virginias more in the background. The bit of dark fired lends a very welcome earthy, smoky undertone, though how much is latakia "smoke" and how much is from the dark fired, I cannot say. Have not tried many Balkans over the years but find I liked this one better than PS Balkan Supreme for instance because of the addition of the dark fired leaf.
