Peterson Balkan Mixture Pipe Tobacco – 50g Tin
Refined Complexity in Every Bowl

Peterson’s Balkan Mixture is a wonderfully smooth and well-balanced blend that showcases the rich, smoky character of Latakia with a subtle yet captivating twist. Despite the name, this isn’t a traditional Balkan blend, as it doesn’t include Oriental tobaccos—at least none that are declared. However, don’t be fooled; this mixture still delivers a satisfying depth of flavour with a gentle peppery kick, courtesy of Perique.

Upon lighting, the bold smokiness of Latakia is instantly apparent, bringing with it notes of charred wood and campfire warmth. Yet, it never overpowers. Instead, it harmoniously makes way for the natural sweetness of Virginia, while the Perique adds a delicate, spicy undertone—tingling the senses with its peppered bitterness and refined complexity.

Visually appealing, the ribbon cut features golden browns, chestnuts, and deep dark strands, making packing your pipe an effortless affair. It lights with ease, burns consistently, and rewards the smoker with a steady, flavourful draw from start to finish. The tin aroma is a delightful blend of smoky pine, aged oak, and a sweet, mildly tangy zest—an irresistible prelude to the smoking experience.

This is a medium-bodied tobacco with a bold character, ideal for those who appreciate a thoughtful Latakia blend with subtle spiced nuances.
