[QUOTE="Wet Dottle, post: 11029, member: 192"] My understanding is that Balkan Mixture is supposed to replace the recently extinct Balkan Sobranie. I mean the one that was available in the plastic pouches in Europe called Balkan Sobranie Original, but not here in the US. I like the G&H product much better. It is a shag cut with a very nice musty tin bouquet, plus it has the sweet flavor that I like to find in English blends. I looked at them side by side and found the Balkan Mixture to be much sweeter than the one in the pouch. Besides the taste, the look and bouquet of the two were very different. I would say that this blend provides a much improved replacement to the Balkan Sobranie Original (the one IN THE POUCH). Here's the Balkan sobranie I'm talking about (a picture pilfered from e-Bay): [url=https://servimg.com/view/12085985/10][IMG]https://i.servimg.com/u/f48/12/08/59/85/e3ab_210.jpg[/IMG][/url] P.S.- I only smoked the tinned version, not the bulk one...
