Balkan Sasieni

Any other fans of this fine STG owned blend? It's a good Balkan that, IMO, is closer to the Balkan Sobranie of the early 1970s than the current rendition of that blend.

I really enjoy this blend. Part of my lat rotation.

I think it is time to get a tin out soon, @pappybadger.

I think I'll have to try this. I'm slowly getting into the Balkan and Lat blends more now that it's not 100 plus outside.

Absolutely @judandhispipe!

I'm a "latakia all year round" guy, @drac2485. I do admit that I am not a "lat bomb" sort of guy; I don't  want 70% lat. In the summer I am less apt to be reaching for the fuller blends, but I always end my day with a lat blend.

I've always enjoyed this blend, I have 5 tins cellared and 1 open from the 10 I had, I'm waiting for it to be on sale again somewhere. Another forum I belong to we alert our members to sales in various sites.

I did, indeed, get another tin opened, and am enjoying it, just like I always do. Definitely a winner.

I’m primarily an aromatic fan, but when I crave a hint of the old BSOSM, I reach for Balkan Sasieni or H&H White Knight. Neither ONE is BSOSM, but they come close and are satisfying in their own way.

I am definitely a fan of the Sasieni. One of my favorite blends. Haven’t tried the Peterson Balkan blend yet. It’s cellared in one of many boxes I have stashed.

Right now I'm fixated on G&H Balkan Mixture but I have a couple of tins of Sasieni cellared and will pull out one next.
