Oriental and Turkish tobaccos are naturally fragrant and blend beautifully with other leaves, but especially with Latakia. Robert McConnell's Oriental uses some of the highest-quality, sun-cured, small-leaf tobaccos available, cut into a fine ribbon. By itself, it's a mellow but intriguing smoke, but it really shines when it's added to Virginia and Latakia mixtures. Add flavor without adding a lot of strength with McConnell's Oriental.
Smoking through a tin right now and it is amazing. Medium bodied smoke with full flavors. I get citrus and floral / hay like flavors which I really enjoy. I find the room note very pleasant too. I recently paired a bowl with an IPA and it went well. I could see this tobacco going well with a nice dram of scotch or bourbon too.

Awesome Oriental

This is a wonderful, Oriental forward blend. Very soft, yet full flavor, citrusy and leathery, with the Latakia being a good background player. A perfect all day smoke.
