Gawith&Hoggarth Balkan Mixture

[Mad Hatter]

If you're expecting ribbon cut SG Balkan Flake, you're gonna be disappointed. I started smoking this a couple of weeks ago. Its not bad, but nothing really to write home about either, IMO. The blend is just a well-balanced smoke in which nothing in particular stands out. The first few puffs there is a mild "Lakeland" flavor of the flowery sort rather than the soapy sort, but it is very subtle. The tobaccos meld together into a nice even balance, perhaps leaning a bit toward the turkish or oriental. There is no outstanding latakia and no sweet VA jumping to the foreground, let alone having a duel for dominance of your senses. Reminded me of the B&M Balkan Sasieni I tried once. The nicotene is moderate and the room note nice but not overpowering nor harsh. Great for an all day smoke with guys who don't look for the highs and lows in tobacco flavor.

Thanks for the review Joe, didn't think you were EVER going to get around to it.
I'll cross this off of my list

I was debating between this one and SG Navy Flake on my last order. Sounds like I made this right one. Thanks for the review.
