So as I dive deeper and deeper into the hobby of pipe smoking, I come across more and more posts containing mystical words like Yenidje, Basma, Dubeck, Bashi Bagli, Smyrna, and Xanthia (to list a few). Now, I can identify Latakia in a blend, the aroma and flavour of the leaf is pretty obvious, but is there anywhere I can look to to find the different characteristics of the other Oriental leaves, or conversely, are there are any blends that highlight individual Orientals to try?
