Description
Clean 50g sealed tins. 150g total tobacco. See images.
I'm not sure how to read the production date codes, but I believe all three of these have been cellared for over a decade.
The original Sobranie of London Balkan Sobranie represents the pinnacle of English tobacco blending artistry—a masterpiece that defined an entire genre and remains unmatched decades after its discontinuation. This traditional mixture of rich Virginias, smoky Latakia, and rare Yenidje orientals created the template that countless blenders still attempt to replicate. At medium-mild strength with extraordinary complexity, it offered sophistication without intimidation, making it accessible to developing palates while satisfying the most experienced smokers. The legendary white tin version delivered perfect balance, exceptional smoothness, and flavor development that evolved beautifully throughout each bowl. While no longer available, vintage tins command premium prices among collectors who understand they possess liquid gold. This is the tobacco that made “Balkan” synonymous with excellence in pipe smoking circles worldwide.
