Balkan Sasieni Original Formula Pipe Tobacco

I am breaking in a new pipe as advised, but this tobacco seems to smoke rather harsh compared with others I've used.

Balkan Sasieni is a very nice smoke. My expectations were not let down. It’s a great English, thick smoke that isn’t to over powering. It’s a great after dinner smoke or paired with a nice bourbon.

Excellent English tobacco at a great price.

Rich, complex, smooth with an exotic room note this is a good one for the eye opener with coffee or watching the sunset as the last rays fade. Not harsh or overpowering but rich is flavor, the product of a master blend.

Long time cigar smoker and reviewer, new to the pipe game. Right now I think, it's more about learning about the craft of pipe smoking than the pipe tobacco. I like the taste and it feels very comforting when I puff away. However, it's more learning, as tobacco has a tendency to go out. I believe that is me and not the tobacco.

This is an easy blend to smoke and not as robust as other Latakia blends. The tin I received was a little dry for my preference but not so much that it hinders me from enjoying it.

This is the third tin. I know I haven’t finished my other two but I like it that much. I have 24 blends but I have those on those on the back burner. I like the light Smokey that dissipates into the tangy and light sweetness at the latter half of the bowl. Pipe- Peterson Deluxe 20s

Will continue to order this brand.

Balkan Sasieni is by far my favorite, daily blend. A great latakia oriental forward Balkan blend. A fantastic ribbon cut that is easy to pack, easy to light and easy to smoke. The taste is rich, creamy and smooth. The room note has a fantastic incense aroma and the aftertaste and beard note are sublime. There is a reason this has been around for 100 years. It's a great blend that is reasonably priced. Over 50% of my cellar consists of Sasieni and I'm sure it will continue to grow. One word of advice. It smokes great out of the tin but if you let it breathe in a mason jar for a week or two, it becomes an even more incredible smoke.
