While many people have fallen in love with Balkan I, there are those who crave richer and bolder flavors, so Sutliff has created Balkan II with even more rich Turkish Orientals and a larger amount of intense and smoky Latakia. Despite its powerful flavor, Balkan II is smooth and very cool smoking.
The flavor is quite light. If you take it slow and not push it is an enjoyable sweet smoke. It is good natural tobacco. The Latakia is almost non existent. Not a bad natural smoke but I prefer a more stronger smoke like Maltese Falcon. I put some back for aging and will come back in a few months and see if it’s developed more.

I use stronger tobaccos. Smoked carefully the Balkan delivers a unique flavor! It's not difficult to keep lit, only a couple of re-lites.

This Balkan is definitely one I'll come back to!
Though not quite as Lat heavy as I expected, it's still a very good smoke. It has everything in it that I like, Orientals,etc. It's like most Balkan mixtures, smokes cool and a little seafoodie-sweet at times. If you're into Balkans, give you it a try!

Wonderful balkan blend. "All day smoke" usually implies a more subtle smoke but this is a pretty bold flavor that I've enjoyed back to back quite a few times now.

Great for mixing. Seattle Pipe Clubs Plum Pudding is a little strong in the nicotine so I use Balkan II as a base and mix in Plum Pudding about 40% and get an excellent smooth smoke. Highly recommend both.
