[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 420389, member: 1365"] Oh, to each his own. Me...I don't use English to equal Latakia. My info says that "English" refers to a specific standard in handling or preparing the blend tobaccos required by UK law...or something like that. It has nothing to do with what the component tobaccos are...just the purity or cleanliness of processing...or some such very specific jumble of terms. Balkan, however, has more to do with content...blends that contain tobaccos that would have been grown in that geographic region. But I have little to go on there but some vague memory or reading about it once. And you would likely get different stories from different sources...so, whatever. But in common usage in today's world of makers, blenders and buyers I imagine the term English denotes the mental aroma of sour old fires long gone out...er, I mean, fine Latakia. [/QUOTE]
