[QUOTE="Jazzer, post: 568570, member: 5070"] My definition is that the term "Balkan" comes from the "Balkan Sobranie" Original blend. I don't think the style or "types" are meaningful. Most of the old British blending houses had two lines of blends. A Virginia line and an "Oriental" line. Sobranie of London did as well. I think of blends in that way. Dunhill Blends were English blends (London) and Rattrays were Scottish (Perth) blends. Red Raparee is a Scottish blends because of it's origin. It is also strangely unique even today! Thanks for these responses! I think I am looking for a blend that has less of that heavy Latakia character. [/QUOTE]
