Anyone around here smoke much PS 306 (English Oriental Supreme)? I've been wondering whether it is kind of a misnomer. According to Tobacco Reviews, it contains Black Cavendish, Burley, Latakia, Oriental/Turkish and Virginia. But the description reads as follows: "Peter Stokkebye's classic blend ... brings together the finest mellow Georgian Virginias, Black Cavendish, Mexican Burleys and Cyprus Latakia, while evoking an exotic flair uniquely its own."
Did they just forget to include Oriental/Turkish leaf in the description, or is that taken for granted because of the name? Or are they considering the Latakia an Oriental?
To me it has such a similar flavor profile to PS 17 (English Luxury), which does not have any Oriental, that I'm not at all sure I can taste the Oriental in it.
By the way, I have the same exact question about C&D London Squire, which is advertised as a Balkan, and which Tobacco Reviews lists as containing Oriental/Turkish, but is described as follows: "C&D's hearty Latakia base blended with Burleys, Virginias, and unsweetened black Cavendish for body."
Where's the Oriental? Am I missing something really obvious?
Thanks.
