[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 259652, member: 2244"] Traditionally, Balkans have been Va based blends with a definate preponderance of Oriental leaf along with Latakia. Though Oriental 'bac is usually refered to as "spicy" my experience is that it is not "spicy" in the peppery way but rather as a flavoring along the lines as cilantro or Bay would be in a soup or stew. Many of them do have a sort of "floral" essence to them such as drahma and izimir leaf. Also, many bright or golden Va's as used in these blends can have a sort of sweet/floral sense to them as opposed to the red or darker Va's that are used in many of the Va Flake blends/mixtures. Nothing out of the ordinary from my many decades of smoking them really :P [/QUOTE]
