English vs Balkan

[Chasing Embers]

So, Balkans have Latakia in them and Orientals have NO latakia - is that correct?
Always wondered the difference!

An oriental blend can have latakia, just in less proportion than the oriental component. Latakia itself is a heavily flavored oriental as well. I was just making the distinction of the marketed "Balkan" blends. They always have latakia.

English, Balkan, Latakia blend... whatever you want to call it I'll probably like it.

Has moved in to my mumber 1 spot.
Iam calling it a Balkan Blend some might say a English Oriental forward. But I like Balkan better.
Just wish I could date them.
After burning through a tin that I had just popped not sure of the age on it.It was one of those tins that I had bought years prior and just tossed in a drawer to try at a later date.
To be honest I am hoping the new tins I just bought smoke just as good.
Great blend, my new Favorite Blend.
This blend is my perfect smoke to date.
Amazing blend and highly recommend for those that have not tried it and like Balkans or Oriental forward blends.
Best I have had to Date.
Looking forward to trying other Balkans against this White Knight I think they will have there work cut out taking down this Gem.

A true masterpiece
