I enjoy your www site and videos. Yes, I am curious about your opinions on this blend too. I have a tin awaiting after my extended recovery from the latest respiratory flu bug ends. GL Pease does not seem to label this one a clearly as a Balkan. I bought it assuming it would be my Balkan benchmark. I liked Frog Morton OTB, so I am exploring more Balkans for my new rhodesian style pipe. My own theoretical Balkan - English scale has something like Balkan Sobranie on one end and maybe something like Samarra at the other. So: English ... More English/ Less Balkan ... "True" English/Balkan Hybrid ... More Balkan/ Less English ... Balkan. I also agree on your adopted definitions that seem to be from GL Pease. Oh well, I guess I found a good reason for being more diligent about flu vaccinations. I do not want to repeat this extended hiatus from pipe stobacco moking in the future. I hope you and yours are well. I appreciate your experienced opinions and information. 'Bye, Ray Eric,

Thanks for the epamphlet by the way upon signup, freebies are always nice. I am planning on emailing you a few questions that I am interested in hearing your opinion on as soon as I can gather my thoughts. Your laid back air in regards to the rules of the game lean against the wall of "expert" prerequisites like a sledge hammer against a glass house. In other words, you present the participation of the pipe world in an accesible way that breaks down aprehensions that keep the timid from dipping a toe in the bowl of a world that brings many good folks a great deal of enrichment & joy. Your "life is too short" manner has encouraged me to pick the hobby back up after a couple of years off and I am glad I ran across, and appreciate others like you who share your experience in a public format. My deep love for the pipe rushed back to me upon the first light up. And thanks to your advice, I am reigning in tongue bite, have smoked my first bowls to the bottom, and am making the most of a meager budget that is limiting the number of pipes in my collection (don't tell anybody but I currently only have one briar). And going forward, the majority of my investment will be focused on the contents rather than the package. After all, a cow pie in an Italian loafer is still a cow pie. I personally would like to see you post a review on this one, and let me say that I look forward to the occasional video reviews that go along with the prose. The first tobacco that I purchased was a Greg Pease (Piccadilly). And this particular blend seems to have received a lot of attention over at baccy reviews.
