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.
