[QUOTE="bent bulldog, post: 446942, member: 3484"] Hello Brothers: O.K. here was the question on the table at the last pipe club meeting, The term "Balkan" is often used these days to denote a particular type of mixture, usually Virginias, Turkish and Latakia combinations of various percentages. One of the older members brought up the fact that one of the earliest references he remembers to a Balkan style mixture was the name Balkan Sobranie, which, as we all know is the name of the storied blend from the House of Sobranie and dates back many decades. So here is the question. Was the word "Balkan" used to describe this type of mixture before the Sobranie people coined it or have all the "Balkan" style mixtures since the introduction of Balkan Sobranie used the term Balkan only just recently, like in the last 50 years as a common way to describe what in the old days was usually described as an English mixture or an Oriental mixture? Have at it and thanks in advance for any input you might have. [/QUOTE]
