Balkan Supreme Pipe Tobacco
Click the icons below for product information.

Balkan Supreme

The classic flavor and aroma of Balkan blends fall within the full-bodied family of tobaccos. Balkan Supreme uses no flavoring in its blend, is loose cut, and contains a generous amount of Latakia. Some of the finest Orientals and old belt Virginias are also mixed into this tobacco. Balkan Supreme's traditional English blend is finished off with Black Cavendish and Turkish Samsun. One of the best Latakia blends available today, Balkan Supreme is a satisfying experience, and well worth trying along with the rest of the Balkan pipe tobaccos available on P&C.

A satisfying blend.
This is my first time with this blend. I usually smoke English blends and gave this a try. Not disappointed. It has a very rich and deep flavor. I will be getting this one again. My favorite time to enjoy this one is in the cool of the day.

Nice Balkan, it should cellar well.
This is a really well balanced Balkan. To my palate the Virginia could use some age.

Great flavor
I received my order today and I love it! Great tasting with full flavor. Best oriental blend I have ever smoked. I like adding a bit of Perique but I also smoke it on its own. Either way it's great. I recommend it to all fans of oriental pipe tobacco.

Been buying Balkan Supreme from P&C for some time now. Last two 16 oz. batches a bit crumbly. Other than that, great blend! Been a pipe smoker for over 60 years, should know a thing or two.

This is my favorite Balkan blend, it’s smooth, not overpowering with the Latakia. I can smoke this all day and not get tired of it.

Cool burning, smooth to the
Cool burning, smooth to the bottom of the bowl, wanting a bit more Turkish up front. Perfectly acceptable. Only smoked through a 1955 pencil shank and a modern savinelli pencil shank, heat test, . Let me have another bowl in a big dog, calabash or larger.

room note is far too strong
Excellent flavor, but the room note is far too strong to keep around. If it weren't for the scent lingering on me I would buy this again, but alas I have others in the house who can't stand the smell. For any bachelors out there, this would be an excellent choice.

Very pleased
Really liked this. Very similiar to Consummate Gentleman, "Balkan sasieni, Cerberus, etc. Probably in between C.G, and B.Sasieni. Real good flavor without being harsh as a trash barrel. No need blabbing on about it. If you like the above, you'll like this.

AMAZING !!~~!!
Have always been partial to codger blends --changing off to an English blend at times --but the codger blends aren't what they used to be and a lot of the English blends are leaving us.The Balkan Supreme really impressed me --lot of taste but not overbearing. Smoked it first in a Dunhill era large bent pot Charatan that had been expertly reconditioned----looked and smoked like a brand new pipe.It smoked cool and slow from top to bottom--leaving only gray ash at the bottom.The tobacco taste never changed.To me this blend is unique because it burns slow but produces a lot of smoke.Am trying a couple of other blends but don't expect them to be any better. Looks like the codger blends are out and I am now an official tobacco snob

While not quite as complex
While not quite as complex as some more expensive blends, this is well-balanced and flavorful and easily affordable. I added a good measure of Latakia to make it my own, and enjoy it even more.

Flavorful and savory Tobacco. My
Flavorful and savory Tobacco. My palate is refined, but this blend is smokey, savory, salty with hints of sweet and an excellent everyday smoke for an average guy like me. If are into Latakia crossovers and looking for the next level, try this. You won't be disappointed.

This is so wonderful, I
This is so wonderful, I am not sure where to begin. I suppose, that I would start by saying this is the PERFECT English blend. I would think that it took years to choose the best leaf, produced in different global areas, and then to make the perfect blend. It burns really well, with little, or no tongue bite. The flavor is over the top@@@ Highly suggest that you give it a try. You will be a regular customer as I am, simply because I could not live without it.

Best ever!
My absolute favorite smoke to date. I will be adding a massive amount of this to my cellar very soon!

Great Tobaccos Matter
One of my five favorite Balkan/English blends. The others are Samara, Presbyterian, Father Dempsey, and Savinelli’s Giubileo d’Oro. The Savinelli tobacco may no longer be available. The tins I am smoking are from 2014. Newer tins may not be as remarkably good. All these tobaccos have one thing in common: the quality of the tobaccos, especially the Virginia’s and orientals, used in blending.

The Venerable Jimmy sez this is a great intro to English blends.
This is a perfectly acceptable, middle of the road English blend for an excellent price. A great introduction if you're considering moving on from aromatics.

Great blend
I’m not sure why this blend has the taste it does, but the Latakia in this blend has its own flavor. I love this blend.

A wonderful blend of Virginia,
A wonderful blend of Virginia, Orientals and Latakia, beautifully ready rubbed to pack your pipe. Burns evenly all the way to the bottom of the bowl. Recommended.

Balkan not to be
Not nearly as good as the tobacco it tries to emulate. But...oh well. Burns slowly and even.

The best cheapest Balkan
This is one of the best Balkan blend I've tried. heavy/moderate latakia and well balanced.

Everyday Balkan
This is my go to, everyday, almost all day smoke. Replaced my passion for EMP. I have an aro in the morning and this throughout the day. I keep a good quantity on hand in my antique tobacco jar on display.

Balkan Supreme-- Latakia Blend
I've smoked a pipe since the early 70's. I started smoking a latakia blend about 12-14 yrs. ago. My favorite was C&D Pirate Kake. I hadn't smoked it in about 7-8 yrs. and tried it again and it's to strong for me now so I tried 4-5 light latakia blends and this is the one I like. At first I didn't taste the latakia. But after a few minutes it stated coming through. For me just enough to let you know it's there. The sweetness is light. I didn't have a long latakia taste in my mouth afterwards. I have an aromatic for my day smoke and my English Balkan blend for my after dinner relaxing with my cup of coffee and pipe smoke. Perfect! Many thanks P&C.

The perfect English/Balkan. Smooth, light and very flavorful. A must try. It's the only English I buy.

Cool, Tastey English, Nice Range of Flavors
[Tin/Bag - Old shoe leather, then a little smokiness. Moisture ready to go.] Great-Full-Balkan. Smooth blue Latakia conjures in the mind upon light. Not super heavy in the smokiness. A little lemony tang and spice. No burning candles quite, which I often get a sense of with intense Latakias. Tiny hint of wood, then some pretty very mild spice and nose tingle after stoking and tamping well. More spice less of the smooth Latakia back and forth as it goes along, with small detection of Virgina periodically in the retrohale. I really like this one. A little more spice than Stokkebye Luxury English. Like it about the same, but a little more. Burns excellent, cool, no moisture left over, easily managed. A little more full or roundedness than HH 10 to Midnight. Better burning too. Arango/Stokkebye = much better price too. Smoked up to one saved bowl left, which was saved to compare to the 5 pounds that are in route for delivery. Great any time smoke!

My go to pipe tobacco.
Smooth & enjoyable. I had to let it dry out a bit but was worth the wait. This will be my go to pipe tobacco, way better than the PA I was smoking.

Balkan Supreme
What to smoke while you're trying to figure out what to smoke. Everything is good. This is not going to knock your socks off and that's fine. Possible all day every day smoke. Cool, spicy, balanced, unadulterated "this is why I smoke a pipe" 1st half of bowl. Sour burley with good aftertaste starting at the midway point. DGT=Good. Wow Factor=Medium. Re-order Factor=Yes. Condition= excellent spongy ribbons. Latakia is there, but, not a lat bomb. Nicotine=medium to just a bit below medium. 5 stars maybe generous, but, it just seems to get better with each bowl.

Nice smoke. Plenty of latakia. Good starting point for a lat heavy blend. I like to add a little bright leaf. Will buy again.

Decent
I usually smoke English blends like Nightcap and Pirate Kake. This blend was decent for an all day smoke but I prefer something a bit more robust.

Good on ya
Good solid English. On the woody side, with a cedar note to it. Steady burn down to a clean ash. No bite and very cool smoke.

This Blend Is A Winner!
This is a very smooth, and flavorful Balkan. Nothing here is overdone, it great burning and cool smoking. I find it to be a very balanced blend with nothing taking the lead. The Latakia is nice and smokey but not overpowering. The Virginia's are hay like with just a hint is citrus. The Orientals have a nice tingle, and the Black Cavendish adds just the right amount of sweetness. Zero bite, and burns to a fine white ash with little dottle. I'm a huge fan of Dunhill My Mixture 965, and Balkan Supreme just took over the top spot in my rotation. If you're a fan of English/Balkan blends, you owe it to yourself to give this one a try!

Great Value and Ratings are Right On
I bought a pound and will never regret. Everything else is in storage now. Except my other McClelland Balkans and Frogs. It burns better than about everything I own.

Balkan Supreme - Bulk
I have been a pipe smoker since the mid-1960s. Back then there was a local tobacco shop in Phoenix which sold “Phoenix Blend.” In subsequent years I have searched for a match to that blend but to no avail. I read the description of the Balkan Supreme – “The classic flavor and aroma of Balkan blends fall within the full-bodied family of tobaccos” - and thought Balkan might duplicate my early Arizona pipe experiences. Balkan is in the family but not the one for me. Objectively – it is mild, traditional and pleasant. I like it but will keep searching. My grandchildren say it smells like brush fire.

THIS IS THE ONE
Great english balkan tobacco, perfect cut, taste, room note, burn quality, no bite, packs well. What else can I say this blend has it all. If you appreciate quality try at least a two once package, you won't be sorry. I promise you you will order more in the near future. I order Balkan Supreme on a regular basis.

Worth Every Once!
I just can't find any better words: A Great Tobacco, At A Great Price, From A Great Store! If you like "English/Balkan" blends then you have to give this mixture a try. IMO the Latakia is just right, and the Cavendish gives it just the right amount of sweetness. This is a well balanced smoke, right to the bottom of the bowl. Also, you just can't beat the customer service!

Balkan Supreme vs. Dunhill Mixture 965
If you like Dunhill Mixture 965, you're sure to like this. Based on some reviews and mostly on what I seen (appearance of the picture), both reminded me of Mixture 965. Upon opening it smelled like 965, smooth & cool smoke, and taste's soo close, you'd be fooled in a blind test. I think it's as close as you'll get and costs less. As always, P & C delivers fast and continues to be the best in service, price, selection, and the list goes on. Just can't say enough good about this company. As long as I smoke P & C will be my source.

Multiple layers of flavor and aroma
Another favorite to put in the rotation. It has it all... forward is mild spice and smoky hit with an almost roast cocoa aroma followed by sweet-grassy-hay and a vague touch of sugar from the Cavendish. Moisture content is perfect. One light-tamp-light did it for the whole bowl but it's not a fast burner. Tons of smoke and no bite just the pleasant tingle of a good blend.
5 out of 5
Great!
At first the latakia is a little overwhelming. After jarring and let sit for day or two it mellows out and becomes an excellent smoke. Really great a worthy substitute for Stokkeby's.

A good Balkan.
The Balkan is one of, if not the one, of my favorite smokes. The herbal like wordiness is what I like. This Balkan, like the Sasienni, honors the breed
5 out of 5
Latakia it its best
I have tried many Balkan style tobaccos. I can't really say that any of them were bad or even sub-par. I never really found one that got it right for me. This one does. It has a nice, naturally sweet, smoky, Latakia taste for me. No casings, no chemical taste. Burns nice, easily lit, little Dottie and what else can I say?
4 out of 5
Good But Not Great
After all the positive reviews on this tobacco I expected to be blown away. I wasn't. A good quality smoke but not enough Latakia for my taste. I will keep it in the rotation but won't re-order. In my view it can't hold a candle to McClelland Balkan Blue, which may very well be the finest tobacco I've ever smoked.

Balkan Supreme - Bulk
Not my idea of a true Balkan. It was too dry and, therefore burned too fast. The result was that the distinctive taste of what I have experienced as a Balkan mixture was lost or, perhaps, never present to start with.

Tobacco arrived dry. Has to be smoked very slowly otherwise will bite.

Just save some for me
I smoke a lot of Balkan, this blend has found a home. Smooth, full flavor, never a bite down the straight and narrow honest tobacco. If you like or ever wanted to try Balkan blend make this a sure try, and the burley is excellent for added depth. Honest, a great smoke

Great blend!
It is bolder and richer than the Mccelland Balkan Supreme. It is as rich fresh (moist) as it is after is has dried out. This is my daily blend and the Mccelland blends I smoke lightly for variety.

Slipped a bit
This is my favorite bulk tobacco but, this last shipment arrived dry, and ribbon cut. P&C get high marks from me so i guess everything cant be perfect, maybe the next batch will be back on track.

good balkan
even though i got what looked like the broken pieces at the bottom of the bag, this was quite good. burns well, smells great. i would call it a good everyday balkan. reminds me of PS Proper English with a bit more flavor. i enjoy the fine cut also. packs well.

Supreme is the right name for this Balkan
Here is a Balkan blend that delivers in every way I appraise the tobacco I pack in my pipes. Burns smoothly, doesn't produce a 'bite' (and I do tend to puff often as I smoke reading books on my patio), very satisfying taste overall (though I admit I don't have a highly developed palette to distinguish each of the types of tobacco in the blend), and a very good price to value. I alternate between Proper English and Balkan Supreme, smoking through about a pound of one then the other. Others have been more descriptive of what this blend offers, so I'll just second those with the highest praise and urge those who want to give a Balkan a try or expand on their experience of this type not to delay the gratification they'll find in this one.

Customer Testimonials
This is my all purpose "go to" tobacco. It is not fussy at all about how you pack it or which pipe you smoke it in. The latakia is plentiful and the taste just gets better as you get down to the bottom of the bowl. Plus, you won't go broke buying a pound of it!
MS of portland, OR
This is one of my favorite tobaccos, burns great & the flavor is perfect.
MA of Shreve, OH
This is my very most favorite tobacco. I'm relatively new to pipe smoking and don't know a lot, but, after trying about 25 different brands, this is the one I smoke every day. I REALLY like it.
JZ of COUNTRY CLUB HILLS, IL
You'd be hard pressed to find a better tobacco for the price. A great, deep, woodsy balkan blend.
ML of Lone Tree, CO
Very good smoke! Mild, yet flavorful. It has all of the nuances of a campfire. An excellent marrying of the latakia and orientals to give a pleasant, all-day smoke.
LS of Wichita, KS
Wonderful tobacco. Please don't change a thing. This stuff is perfect!!!
TD of Galveston, TX
Great flavor, easy smoke, this is a keeper.
WA of Robinson, IL
Great tasting Balkan. Came in on the dry side and is more of a shag style cut but all in all i will keep this great tasting tobacco on hand.
