I've actually had some of this to smoke by itself. It is a small leaf Turkish tobacco that has a fragrance very similar to a floral men's cologne... think 1980's Drakkar. It's not exactly like Drakkar, just sorta maybe, definately not as strong. The fragrance comes from chlorides in the leaf that are hard to push off. Whereas Basma is light and delicate in flavor, Katerini is more fragrant, but without overpowering the rest of a blend.I need to learn what exactly “Katerini” is.
You know those perennial tobacco flowers people will set out around their mailboxes, short tobacco plants with lots of flowers and very fragrant, Katerini is similar to those.
