Favorite Blend as new piper
My pallet is still developing but I've tried 15-20 of the best selling bulk and tinned. This was easy to learn to pack and puff. (Note to self.. pack N puff would be a great pipe store name) The combination of price and taste makes this consistently in my daily rotation.

Star of the east.
Best Balkan blend period !

Very nice indeed!
If it's indeed 50% Latakia, I will buy a pound, but I will try 4 oz first. I really like the thick heavy smoke.

Better in the tin
I had tried this before in bulk and was not impressed. The bulk was dry and nearly flavorless. In comparison the tin version is really good. The Latakia is central of course and the Turkish is also at the front. This will probably be in my rotation (in tin form).

C&D Star of the East
My favorite smoke, similar to Stokkebye's #52 but smoother. if you like Latakia blends, this is the one to smoke

Smoky, Smooth, Flavorful. Tremendous Blend
Another hit from C&D. If you like your English blends Latakia forward this needs to be in your rotation.

Excellent English blend!
I smoked a bowl of this for the first time this evening. I'm impressed. It's a strong but balanced English blend with nice, mellow flavors coming through from light up to cashed bowl. This is going to be a staple for me. Wonderful tobacco.
