Satisfying yet not overwhelming, Balkan Sasieni progresses into an interesting Latakia blend with a smoky aroma. Erik Nording has been a world renowned pipe maker for a long time, and his briars are smoked around the world by thousands of people. Erik has very exacting standards for the briar he uses, only selecting blocks which come from high up on the hillsides from which they’re harvested. From traditional shapes to freehands, there’s something for everyone. Visually, it’s a rich sea of browns with black speckles texturing the waves.

A low bodied blend (like Cavendish) could be compared to a Pilsner while an intensive bodied blend (such as Latakia) could be compared to a Stout. A variety of Virginia tobacco specially aged in rum and sugar. This aging process darkens and sweetens the tobacco for a unique flavor profile. A blend of tobacco leaves from Macedonia and the Black Sea region mixed with Latakia from Northern Cyprus and the finest Virginia tobaccos establish the foundation of this Balkan Sasieni English type mixture.
In England clay pipes were sold in bundles of dozens or twenties, and were often free in taverns, where the tobacco was sold. The broad anatomy of a pipe typically comprises mainly the bowl and the stem. The bowl (1) which is the cup-like outer shell, the part hand-held while packing, holding and smoking a pipe, is also the part “knocked” top-down to loosen and release impacted spent tobacco. On being sucked, the general stem delivers the smoke from the bowl to the user’s mouth. A pipe’s fundamental function is to provide a relatively safe, manipulable volume in which to incompletely combust a smokable substance. Typically this is accomplished by connecting a refractory ‘bowl’ to some sort of ‘stem’ which extends and may also cool the smoke mixture drawn through the combusting organic mass (see below).
