Next (final?) hint:
No one has guessed the right non-alcoholic drink yet.
Ayrani is popular, but is more of a generic Mediterranean/middle Eastern drink. I'm looking for something with more specific ties.

Everything else has had at least one correct guess.

Nailed it. Well done, sir. PM me your address.

Lountza would also be correct for the preserved pork.

Thanks for playing, everyone!

The country in question is the island of Cyprus. It has an amazing history and culture. This contest brought back a lot of good memories, and a big desire for their meat and cheese!

@BryGuySC received your package and the aroma from all this pipe tobacco is intoxicating. The contents of the prize include:
Frog Morton's Cellar Pipe Tobacco 50g can
Dunhill Nightcap 50g tin
Fox & Hound Tobacco
MacBaren Old Dark Fired
A very very very nice pipe!
and a Tabak Red Eye Cigar

Thank you very much Bryan for the wonderful and generous prize! I have a cheapo pipe and bought some Drew Estate pipe tobacco for it. Smoked a couple bowls and that is my pipe resume. Man this pipe tobacco aroma blows away the Drew Estate tin. I can see why a pipe is another great option! I'd love if you would share a little history about the pipe you included.
