Peter Stokkebye No. 313 Oriental consists of small sun-cured leaves from the Macedonian region. The flavor is somewhat floral and spicy with a bit of sweetness. When used with Latakia, it tends to brighten the flavor. It should be treated as a condiment as too much can overwhelm a blend. For English or Balkan blend fans who like to tweak their blends, you can't do much better than 313 Oriental.
I have enjoyed this mild blend in the past but this shipment was soooooooo dry that I will have to let it sit in my humidor for a while. I was really disappointed and very surprised that tobacco this dried out was ever sent to a customer.

It's an authentic tasting Oriental that rolls well and smokes well.

This has become my daily smoking blend. I roll my own cigarettes both filtered and non filtered. It is a little strong for unfiltered and can overwhelm the taste buds but is perfect for filtered cigarettes. I don't know that I would suggest this for a pipe smoker as I have not tried it out of mine yet (cant find it at the time of writing this) but I this would most likely over power just as in the unfiltered cigarettes. Perhaps out of a churchwarden or some other long stem pipe. It came very dry and did not need any dry time. will be ordering again.

Have been experimenting with different tobaccos as I normally enjoy black Cavendish blends, this is very much like smoking a camel cigarette.However, when blended with 301 natural dutch Cavendish gives a very nice smoke. Burns clean to a nice ash, the dutch Cavendish mellows and cools the oriental, while the oriental gives a nice kick to the Cavendish. Thanks P&C, excellent service as always.

Not the best oriental I've had. Blends alright with some latakia and dark fired kentucky, but probably won't get this brand again.

This is excellent for blending. A little goes a long way, just as advertised. I tried a few pinches in a bowl just to check the taste, and it is quite strong. It would definitely over power other tobaccos if not used sparingly. Two ounces added to my blend to give me a total of one pound, works best for my taste.
