[QUOTE="gilgawulf, post: 277416, member: 667"] @ Yak: I've been trying, and enjoying, a lot of the various blends that either claim to be a close replica of or have been written up as tasting like one of the three Balkan Sobranie blends. From what I gather, Balkan Sobranie stopped being Balkan Sobranie just a year or two before I was born (the same apparently happened with all the Dunhill blends around the same time), and the replicas are based on samples from afterwards. This leads me to two conclusions: 1) whatever the real Balkan Sobranie tasted like, it must have been one hell of a tobacco for the blends modeled on a pale shade of it to taste as good as they do, and 2) when it all comes down to it, I think I find the most enjoyment evaluating a blend on its own merits.
