[QUOTE="glpease, post: 44611, member: 18"] I have no idea who made the most recent version of Balkan Sobranie that was available, and may still be available in some markets, but it was not made by Sobranie House, who sold the rights to production to Gallaher's in ca. 1981, and shuttered their operation. Gallaher's then saw fit to make numerous incremental changes to the blend over the years, the end result being something quite different from the original Balkan Sobranie. When I was researching various vintages of the blend, I came across some surprising differences in cut, Latakia content, and overall composition. What was sold in the late 1980s was remarkably different from what was sold in the late 1970s. I've tasted the Balkan Sobranie in the pouch, and though it's a good tobacco, it's not the old stuff. Nor is it even the late Gallahers produced stuff. -glp [/QUOTE]
