Drinking a cup of industrial grade java... and decided to break out a tin of Balkan Sasieni that I opened 9 months ago. (Stored in the tin, in a heavy duty zip loc.) This was the first latakia blend I ever tried, and let's just say, I didn't "get it." I seem to gravitate towards Virginias, especially flakes. I have tried a few of the Frogs, EMP, Boswell's Northwoods. I like 'em, just not everyday smokes for me, more like once every two weeks when the mood strikes for something different. Well, this morning I broke out this tin of Balkan Sasieni and... it was AWESOME! I do not think I have smoked a tobacco that emits such thick, voluminous clouds of cool smoke! I am really enjoying this, and for lack of a better way to put it, "I get it."
