| | I understand the charred cheeseburger, dry toasted almost a bright taste contrasted with all the darkness, but with a meaty heft to it, and the cheese--sweet, creamy and bitter all at the same moment. If you don't know it, fire up the grill! |

| | now its starting to have hints of well the only way I could describe it is saltwater taffy! still not done with the bowl and becoming almost mystical. there bits of spice beyond yenidje in here. creamy velvety, salty with that char taste. incredible, just incredible! |

| Max Engels at Pipes2Smoke.com has a blend named Comptons of Galousis? which though rather pricey is a ringer for the old Balkan Sobraine.Check it out.

| | blue mountain latakia..... wrap me in your blue embrace and never let go...... 759 you have re-written what's good and great in my tobacco lexicon! the rains pour, the winds roar,goddess Nicotia whisper to me more! This is the best smoke I have ever had. into my sixth bowl now and 759 is doing things I didn't know were possible. euphoria, utter euphoria. almost hallucinatory, no, more like serenity in smoke. I will cry when you are gone! |
