Balkan Brebbia: review
Balkan Brebbia is a variation of the classic Balkan blend, because instead of having Virginia base, it has Kentucky!
This allows it to be smoked "flush" due to the faster burning of Kentucky, so you won't have problems reigniting your tobacco pipe.
On the other hand, you have to be careful not to overheat it: the risk is to experience sour notes.
The presence of Kentucky makes this blend very full-bodied and the excellent combination with Latakia stands out.
Personally, I find it one of the most satisfying at the end of the smoke: it leaves really pleasant lingering aromas.
The aromas are woody and smoky, enriched by the spicy notes of Orientals, never intrusive.
It's a tobacco that I recommend to lovers of English Mixtures, but also to lovers of Italian cut tobaccos, such as Italia and Forte. In general, I think it can be appreciated by lovers of strong blends.
