6yrs old 2020 the Balkan Sobranie tin

Balkan Sobranie is 6 years and 5 months old based on the handwritten date of April 2020 written on the lid.
The factory stamp on the right side of the label (1124E032) also confirms its production timeline, indicating it was blended by J.F. Germain & Son and imported into the US by the Arango Cigar Co. With over six years of cellar aging, the tobaccos have integrated significantly, mellowing any harsh edges while deepening the overall blend complexity
Flavor Profile
Balkan Sobranie is a legendary, sophisticated Balkan blend known for its exceptional balance and rich, evolving flavors:
The Leading Notes (Orientals/Turkish): Complex, prominent, and refined. They introduce a distinct, buttery texture alongside sour, spicy, and exotic wood notes. Some smokers note a delicately floral, incense-like aroma that creates a highly fragrant room note.
The Smoky Core (Latakia): Used with a masterfully balanced hand. It provides a smooth, peaty camp-fire and dark leather smokiness without clobbering or overwhelming the rest of the blend.
The Base (Virginias): Resting quietly in the background, high-quality Virginias impart a subtle, grassy, and stewed-fruit sweetness that balances out the savory qualities of the Latakia and Orientals. The Effect of 6+ Years of AgingLatakia-heavy blends are at their most pungent and intensely smoky when fresh. At over six years old, the forward smokiness of the Latakia will have stepped back slightly, shifting into smoother notes of dark earth and leather. Concurrently, the natural sugars in the Virginia leaf have oxidized, creating a rounder, deeper base sweetness that bridges beautifully into the spicy and sour nuances of the aged Oriental components.
