I have had a sample bowl and full bowl of these new to me German tobacco's, and I must say I am delightfully pleased at these original but different blends.
At first the aroma of the Dixter was zesty, "citrusy" & springlike, which lifted me up in the morning sunshine. The taste of my first small bowl in my little Cossack pear, was exquisite like a refreshing bowl of Earle Grey Tea as ones first morning " pick me up" , with lingering flavours of bergamot in the almost ropey cut of Virginia and pinch of burley, now I am a devotee of our German cousins blending arts. The mild smoky note is mellow and pleasing , and it is refined tranquil contemplation in dry balming breath. Now I have lingered in the late starry night on a long bowl in my short church warden pear, it is a taste of heaven. All god's lawful gifts in moderation and appreciation, gentlefolk.
My impression of the Balkan which is my passion, having spent time on my first holiday abroad in the Dalmation Adriatic, onto Athens, was a German staid & solid blend, but no , the aroma was of the regular spicy mix but mild and the lovely fresh appearance of the newly opened tin beckoned me on, in my morning tiny Cossack pear bowl, the blend was a puzzle, mild with hints of the of the mixed weeds eluding me. But my passion was fulfilled in my long starry cloudy night smoke in the 12" big Pear Cossack & it's extra stem and church warden mouthpiece one must relax with this & not clench or fist, this is a blend to appreciate at leisure not rushed. These two blends are not to be taken at haste more meditate smokes in your man cave, in the chill air of the still night. If you are in company or busy then you will miss the subtle joy of this Balkan mix, of Germanic mountainous depths. This is pure Bach not bombastic Prussian in the least, not warring Wagner, as I sit here in silence my faithful Pop snoozing, and the Parish sleeping in my night vigil, Pax upon all good folk, and peaceful sweet dreams.
O the morn has dawned, unaware.
