This is a Hearth and Home blend. A rich tasting Balkan with plenty of Oriental spice that's complemented by a goodly amount of Cyprian latakia. The latakia is smokey, woodsy, and a little sweet. The Virginias are minor players, but they do add a light natural sweetness and hay notes. In spots, the latakia seems more dominant than the other components, but the Oriental/Turkish is always noticeable. Fairly creamy and smooth, it burns well and mostly dry. They say it's medium bodied, but I'd rate it a little stronger than that. Compares very favorably to many top Balkan blends on the market.
