I find that BF is missing the nuances that you'd get from mixtures that have other component tobaccos involved. For a simple VA/Lat blend I prefer Lancer's Slices over Balkan Flake, it seems to have more synergy to me. For a starting Latakia blend GLP's Samarra is really great, if you can find a tin with 3-4 years on it, it's night and day compared to a fresh one. B&B's Beck's Ol' Limey Bastard is fantastic too. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
