Milan's Balkan Blend

Milan's Balkan Blend is Milan Tobacconists' latakia-forward house blend. The recipe is built on latakia, joined by oriental leaves and virginia. According to the maker, its body is strong and its taste earthy and spicy; the virginia share leaves a measured sweetness in the background.

It carries no casing and sits at the full end of Balkan-type mixtures. Suitable for smokers accustomed to latakia who are looking for an intense taste in the direction of soot, leather, and spice; it may be too heavy for those coming from light mixtures.
