[QUOTE="Gumball, post: 171571, member: 1714"] Hello Brothers, I know this is an old debate, but how would you define what makes an English, Balkan or Oriental? I was in my local B&M earlier today and asked about English blends. The chap asked me if I meant a pure Virginia, or if I was after something with Latakia in it. I told him that I liked Squadron Leader, and as far as I know it contains Latakia, so that is how I define 'English'. In the end I purchased some Balkan Mixture, which smells (to me) much more earthy than Squadron Leader. This got me thinking...what Balkan a Balkan rather than an English. And what the heck is an Oriental? :confused: [/QUOTE]
